I know you all get your same talking points from MoveOn, I mean, you all even use the same exact verbiage, you could be a little more subtle, but anyway:


What is so extreme about

Following the constitution
Smaller debt
Less taxes
Less gov in our life

I'd like specifics, not "O'Donnell believes that masturbation is wrong", many people of all political persuasions do and it's not something that can be legislated anyway, so lets rule that one out. I want to know specifically what is "extreme" about our beliefs?

1) "Leftists"
2) "Talking points" from MoveOn
3) Use of "I know"
4) Tea Party defense

Clearly, when one finds themselves at the far end of the political spectrum, it can get a little lonely at times.

Hence, the reason the Tea Party was formed.

I'm not a leftist, but I am left handed

There's nothing extreme about the tea party. Nor
original about them either. Just the evangelical right wing
base of the Republican Party that is pissed they lost the
last election. They should all just join the Constitution
Party and be done with it Amen

Constitution Party National Political Headquarters

The real tea party of 2007 was hijacked by the likes of Palin, Armey, O'Connell, Rubio, or any other flake they now have
on their ticket. I'll give Rand a pass - only cause I like his
father so much

Tea Party seems to not comprehend Constitutional process of a bill to law. It's because "I say so" rhetoric instead, which is NOT "following" the Constitution at all!

Smaller debt can never be achieved with no taxes, do the math.

Less taxes can only be achieved by three things:
1) No deficit
2) Laws of Congress
3) death

Less govt. in our lives means less "We the people" , less representation, less or no Constitution.

The question has an answer that can be summarized into a single word: Stupidity.

Where did you go to school? The Soviet Union? Whoever taught you what you know about this country should be fired. You are demonstrating that you have no clue whatsoever about this country, it's ideals and how the government is SUPPOSED to work.

Who's advocating "no taxes"? I honestly don't understand your last statement; I believe that you know what's best for you more than some huge apparatus known as the "government", do you disagree with that? Lastly, I didn't see anything "extreme" about what you wrote.

Good luck getting an intelligent answer. As far as I can tell most of them just regurgitate what they've been taught to believe by the liberal media like MSNBC/Maddow/Olbermann but they won't have any facts to back up their own media-incepted opinions, and then they'll get angry about their lack of intellectual prowess and start calling you names, or ridiculing you to try to dismiss your questions.

Yeah, like trying something that has failed for centuries is a smart thing to do. Stupidity is this administration's middle name. They are putting us on a path of failed economic principles proven to fail for centuries. That is the very definition of STUPIDITY!
