Louie Gohmert (TX)- Southern Baptist? Really? 100% unopposed primaries, no contested democrat or libertarian running against him since he parked there post gerrymandering 2004. Tea supported. Up for reelection 2012.

Wow - name calling, hate, religious intolerance, sensationalism and racism. I think you've hit all the Lib propaganda accusations.

And it's not stealing when it wasn't your's to begin with.

Painfully obvious why our country can't live within its means.

It is apparently very shallow. Several years ago, here in Massachusetts, there was a ballot initiative to lower the income tax rate from 5.75% to 5.0%. There was such an uproar from the Democrats here that the legislature put in an option for filing that would allow people to continue paying at the former rate simply by checking a box on you tax return. The income tax reduction narrowly passed. The following year a mere .02% of state taxpayers checked the box for the former rate.
Democrats are all for spending other people's money.

Maybe. And maybe then their dirtbag parents will start raising their children. In the meantime, if you're so concerned, feel free to pay for their milk yourself.

I'd be the first one to say GE should be paying taxes...but I do wonder how much money they've pumped into the economy in the form of wages and purchases from other companies.

I mean I, for one, am sure glad that corporate America is spending its tax breaks on overseas, outsourced labor. At least individual welfare benefits are used in THIS COUNTRY.
Proving the complete ignorance of the left with regards to what the Tea Party movement is all about.

We opposed bailouts of corporations from the start. Got it?

None of the tbaggers have the spheres to talk like this about their corporate bosses. Personally, I dont support either type of handout but when they cut from the poor AND at the same time give corporations breaks, it stinks.

Christianity is about helping people in need. It is NOT about holding a gun to your neighbor and demanding they give money to you so you can help those in need.... that is liberalism.

You cannot steal something that is not yours because you NEVER PAID FOR IT to begin with.

30% of our kids in high school at our school get free lunch, why?

Why should I pay for a 16 year olds free lunch?


Time to EARN your keep. The message is clear, no more handouts. Force the bums to earn their child's needs.

No more STEALING FROM US TAXPAYERS to feed loser parents who wont earn the money to feed their own kids.



Probably should read, "parents who have the money & choose to spend it on luxuries such as video games, expensive gym shoes, purses & iphones & itunes for their kids & themselves rather than lunch money because they know someone else will pay for that!" (That's what I see 99% of the time.)
