Of course. What an incredible surprise: tea partiers trying to deflect the blame. That's the real problem. Everyone knows that there will be stupid nutcases in any movement. They're not the problem here. The problem is that the tea party movement is using rhetoric that incites these people and simultaneously goes to great lengths to deny their existence. It isn't the people making these attacks that most anger me, it's the people who deny it while continuing to create the political environment for them to thrive. Wackos will be wackos, but the tea party has no interest in containing their's.

And we all agreed that this bill morphed into something other than what was spoken about on the Obama campaign trail before 2008 elections.
What fines are you against, fine for substandard care?

Who were the radical revolutionaries of the 60's, that blew stuff up, that are now Obama's closest friends?


They learned violence got you nowhere. They got into the government and now run the show, because Americans are so gullible.

They want the tea party to become violent, so they can paint them in a bad light, just like they were painted in the 60's, when they were pissed at "the Man"

Yet it is only the leftist freaks who resort to violence at the drop of a hat, not conservatives. At the center of every riot for the past 1,000 years, there is always a violent foaming-at-the-mouth leftist freak.

Look to your own before you criticize others for what amounts to a baseless accusation by yet another lying leftist politician.

Well one of those radicals was Republican Senator Norm Coleman which Minnesota just threw out. I think you were one of his supported right.

The fines for choosing not to have healthcare. Not everyone in America is sick 24/7/365. There are healthy people you know. They don't have health insurance, and don't want it at this point in their lives..mostly young professionals.
