Not the least bit afraid of posting facts proving you wrong. It seems though that you dont share the same standards you request of others. Still waiting for those lists from you

Not the topic, why are you changing the topic? Afraid to continue to prove you dont have answers to backup your claim?

The list you provided doesnt backup your claims. You cant support your own claims and you think I"m the one getting boring?

AGAIN..

What bills were fillibustered that would have improved the economy?

What spending CUTS were made?

Can you answer ANYTHING, without attacking other posters who ask you to support YOUR claims?
[MOD CUT]

Blaming the Tea Party for budget woes, is like blaming the French Resistance for NAZI atrocities.

I already told you which bill would have improved the ecomony... The first one for starters...
As for spending cuts... look no further than Wisconsin, Ohio, New Jersey...

for your information tea partyers are anything but the common folk they would like to have others believe they are. according to several polls taken by cbs and ny times ( no, they're not fox, so i'm certain you'll dismiss them ) in 2010, tea party members are disproportionately composed of older white men ( over 45 ) with higher than average incomes who are more likely than the general public to catergorize their financial situation as good or very good. a large number - 44%- are christian fundamendalist. rather than being a a gathering of the common folk riding in on their white horses to save america, it sounds more likely that they are doing o.k. and want very much to keep it that way. they are not an inclusive group; in other words, gays are not welcome unless they subscibe to the theory that they are mentally ill and need to be cured, and my guess is few believers in pro-choice would feel very welcome in their midst. overall, a self righteous, pious group whose small mindedness and insular thinking is dangerous and destructive.
and no,i don't expect you to believe any of this information, or even investigate.

I never said 100% of tea party was white, but that the majority was. Statistics i have read, based on 2010 ny times.cbs telephone polls of 1500+ adults over age 18 reported that 79% of tea party were white. Just because you're not part of the 79% doesn't mean you can't be a tea party follower or advocate.
Also, it would be helpful if you are asking a question such as "am i small minded", which i assume is a question, to use a question mark at the end of the sentence.
And I'm curious as to who you think "someone with authority on small minded people " might be.
