Sure, sure... Tell you what, take it local and take a close look at your local teabaggers group. I think you'll find most of them are local GOP party officials and that the club seems to have a mysterious well of funds when they need cash. You paying dues??? You doing fundraisers to buy supplies and to pay for websites and transportation costs. Ever see anyone passing the hat or charging fees? Wondering where the money comes from???? Koch inc. and their front groups.

Well said. If the Teabaggers were honest they would have presented themselves as another faction within the GOP and stop trying to pretend they were some sort of mainstream movement which they are clearly not. But honesty and Republicans tend to be mutually exclusive as we all can see.

Outed by who?
Go back to sleep...you're dreaming.

The Tea Party movement average people are morons who still believe in Christianity and that the Bible somehow has relevance in 2012. TEA is supposed to be Taxed Enough Already but you just hear garbage about kicking out illegal immigrants, banning abortion, protecting traditional marriage etc. The Koch's pretty much just want complete deregulation but they put up with the ignorant bigot element to get what they want. In the end, the Tea Partiers will get NONE of the social issue garbage they want because the real people in charge of the Republican party like to play you idiots for the backwards uneducated fools you are while they laugh it up and enjoy raking in $

Good analysis. That's why I say they are fraudulent. They say they are one thing but in reality they advocate things that have nothing to do with their original premise.

Yep, yesterday's bills paid for with inflated future dollars, great deal. A hundred years from now our grand kids will be writing million dollar checks to pay their monthly rent.

You wingnuts dwell to much in the what if's of the distant future. A lot of things will change over that hundred years and anyone's projections will end up wrong. Worry about NOW. Don't base everything we do NOW on some imagined vision of the future.

If we ever went to war with China I'm certain it will involve us not repaying the money we borrowed.

We are one pandemic away from a black plague eradication of our "excess population". The SS Trust Fund could be ten times what that new population needs.

We may be years away from discovering a unlimited source of clean safe and CHEAP energy. we could be on the way to solving untold problems thru new tech in the next generation.

You live your life being negative about everything. Try being positive about things. In the end how you act isn't going to change anything, you might as well enjoy the ride.

Republicans are only concerned about the future when a Democrat is in the White House. Apparently they weren't concerned with Bush's out of control spending and unfunded illegal wars that got us into the mess we are today.
