I have no idea what you mean. The only evil spirit entering my body is your govt's hands entering my hands and my life. And I don't want them there.

Some people want less govt. Most people want more govt. I want no govt.

Didn't you see the news this morning? I believe NOTHING I hear on the news but they showed the crowds. There were a whole lot of black people marching right along with everyone else. News reporters lie because the govt tells them what to say but pictures don't lie. I saw it with my own eyes.

Yep, pretty much.

I'm not sure that she's dim-witted. She may actually be something even below that.

Some would like mandatory daily prayers to a Christian God in our schools. Certainly no government interference there, unless you're an athiest, Muslim, Buddhist or perhaps even some unapproved sect of Christianity (Mormonism, anyone?).

Many of the teabaggers would like smaller government and less taxes - as long as it doesn't interfere with their medicaire or social security, which we ALL pay into.

Logical consistency doesn't appear to be their strongest suit.

From the outside, the group looked like a bunch of people who like to get riled up, not people who like to solve real life problems over the course of years. That's left to the bureaucrats that so many teabaggers revile

Well said.

Please provide video.
I have a hard time believing there were " a lot of black people marching right along with everyone else".
These are the same people who shouted racial slurs at members of Congress and then later denied doing so.

Well go look it up. It was probably on channel 13. Whatever the case I don't doubt what you said about the same people and racial slurs.

Do something more productive with your life. Go read a book about trading, take advantage of the markets and make money.

Never been to one, I see. I have been to a few, and the only "smelly" attendee was the lefty kook that thought shaving her armpits and deodorant was optional.

Before you start disrespecting something you obviously know nothing about, you might want to get some facts.

It's funny how [mod edit - offensive] have all this extra time to hold rallies and tell everyone how awful Obama is.
Shouldn't they be working???
Oh that's right, a lot of them don't have jobs.
Maybe if they had gone to school and worked hard instead of blaming all their problems on 'Big Government' their lives wouldn't be so miserable.
Also, liberals in this country on average are more educated than conservatives, everyone knows that....look it up.

Psstt........"more" educated doesn't necessarily mean "smarter" or "more" intelligent. Look it up.

EDIT: BTW I have just been informed that referring to a member of the Tea Party as [mod edit-offensive] is considered offensive.
My there are some sensitive folks in that group.

Not sensitive, just don't want to be called a vulgarity (that you all KNOW is one, in spite of your shock when confronted.)
