Or the little Texas Stadium deal that cost the taxpayers a bundle.

Honest and trustworthy?? Oh, puhleez. Most politicians check that at the door before they hit the Washington DC city limits.

BTW, those increases disproportionately affected lower income people. "Disproportionately" isn't really strong enough - I would say almost EXCLUSIVELY.

Feel free to keep on cheerleading - but you should demand a raise. A professional cheerleader makes $134k per year - not that measly $400 tax credit you got.

How do tea baggers plan on paying for the wars and maintaining that huge military industrial complex they're in so love with? They don't like to pay taxes (as long as it says "federal" in front of it). Perhaps they are in love with China and Japan and consider them the saviors. Beggar buggers.

Someone wake up tea baggers in AZ... they ain't getting most of the tax cuts that was promised (but they are surely getting more regressive taxes).

They're really starting to look like Beckian cult worshippers.
The Tea Party is run by Dick Armey, former Republican majority leader, so they'll never pick a fight with the Republicans because the whole thing is financed and run by Republicans. Essentially, after GWB the Republican brand name was worthless so Armey's big idea was to put a new label on the same old horse dung and pretend it was something new. A few suckers bought it but 82% of Americans saw through the lies.

That is total nonsense. The Tea Party started in 2007. Bush was still president.

i can only suggest that it is a lot easier to establish a NWO when you have debased your country's currency, as gordon brown has suggested:


YouTube - Gordon Brown New World Order Speech
Lets see, could this possibly be due to the fact Obama's tax cuts were focused on the middle class, and Bush's tax cuts were primarily focused on the wealthy?? Or the fact Obama is steeping up actions on Afghanistan (you know where those who attacked us on 9/11 were based) and Bush started a War in a country that wasn't involved in the attacks??

No, that couldn't possibly be it could it??

You denied that he signed the biggest tax cut in history. I proved this wrong. It's simple math and math don't lie.

Then you tried to spin around and claim that since some of these bills brought higher taxes that it cancels out. I pulled some items off a PDF supplied by the GOP website to show the dishonesty in their numbers.

You want to debate with the big boys you better leave the smoke and mirrors bull**** at the keyboard.

Again, sources? Or better yet, reasoning?

No it's not. To say that Armey "runs" the teabagger movement is a stretch, but he's a major player in it and has provided alot of funding to it.
