We all know that the majority of you are mad because we have and African American President (mixed). Get over it. We live in a democracy, a vote was cast, and the Majority has spoken. Don't get yourself in something that you think you are ready for. The South thought they could beat the North, and you see where that got them. We are all Americans, so calm down, and give OUR President the respect he deserves.[/quote]



[quote=carolinatx26;8433591]Where was this train of thought the last eight years when we needed it more than ever. People just find it funny that as soon as we get a African American President, now all of a sudden everyone wants to be a politician and policy checker. The tea party was nothing more than a waste of time and money. It was nothing more than a show of the people that the rest of America will have to worry about in the event they become out of control. The amount of people who attended nationwide was less than 1million (300million population)

Obama hasn't raised anyone's taxes (you actually got a tax break). You "Tea Party" "Obama Haters", are doing nothing more than than drawing a really heated split between yourself and the rest of America. Last time things were getting this bad, the only way to end it was...... Well you all know, lets be carefull not to head down that path, because you are severely outnumbered.


I generally don't respond to nutty posts but I think this link will show just how different the Bush and Obama deficits are.

Obviously the OP does not have the first clue what the Tea Party protests were all about. The first National Tea Party protest took place on April 15, 1978, just prior to Congress making a significant tax increase. The next National Tea Party protest occurred on April 15, 1993, just prior to Congress making a massive retroactive tax increase. Since that time, there has been no massive tax increases and no National Tea Party protests, until Obama became our first Affirmative Action President.

National Tea Party protests always occur on April 15th, during or preceeding the year of a massive tax increase. Obviously, these massive tax increases only occur when Democrats control Congress and the White House, so that is when you can expect the protests. If you think it has anything to do with skin color, then you are a bigot.

Yeah, didn't you know that Rick Santelli, Dick Cheney, Dick Army, Newt Gingrich, the Rothchilds and the trilateral commission all met and it was agreed that Rick would have this rant in order to have tea parties on April 15th. Everyone knows this!

I had nothing to do with the tea-bagging parties.

However Hussein is clearly increasing our nation's debt-load far into insanity. There is no method available to decrease our nation's debt without raising taxes 100 fold.

Lets also not forget that the TEA parties were not only about taxes.... I myself didn't attend but I did watch the local news. I saw no protests in reference to Obama's skin color.

I can respect the office, but please do not tell me to respect the person.

also, we dont live in a democracy, we are supposed to be living in a democratic republic, too bad democrats and republicans have forgotten that.
