These nut jobs think that Government should Take .. by Force from the Haves and Give it to the Have Nots!

Make the Producers take care of us moochers!

The problem that these Communist/Socialist nut jobs have is .. You eventually run out of other peoples money!

They wont be happy until Everyone is just like them .. Broke, Unemployed, Lazy Moochers!

The thing is .. When the "Rich" get tired of paying for all the FREE stuff .. They'll leave and take what's left of THEIR money and the Moochers will still be .. Well .. MOOCHERS!

Hey Moochers ..Why not move to one of your Paradise/Socialist Countries .. Right NOW?

I'll help you in your packing and .. I'll even tell you where to go!
This post has been here over 12 hours so I guess not many of THEM have read it. I haven't looked to see how any of them answered you but I will give you some more thumbs before i do look.

Very few Tea Party people managed to vote their thoughts the other day. Most of them went with the establishment people from both parties as they tore us a new one when they approved that pile of crap. I agree with my Congressman who considers himself a Tea Partier, these day, that if they had held out they could at least have forced Harry Reid to allow debate on CCB but they didn't even try.

Also, my man believes that August 3 was nothing more than an arbitrary date set by Obama and Geithner. Somewhere on this forum I have posted his reasons for thinking like that in the form of a graph that shows how much money they actually had on hand to spend this month. I think it is great proof what Geithner and Obama did to us.

This will put us just where Germany was just before Hitler took over and surely where China was in early 1950s. Both of those governments had printed paper money to the hilt and some really good cartoons came out about them. Like the one of the Chinese man with a wheel barrow full of money going to get a loaf of bread. It is going to happen to us if we don't get control of Geithner's printing presses.

So they are not allowed to have a voice?
Some of the new Congress men, Rubio and Huelskamp will hold on till people start seeing what has been happening to us. They will keep their voices and the party will finally get the voice they have earned.

Which means that no one, be they racist, fascist, socialist, anarchist, homemaker, scientist, Democrat or Republican, no one deserves to be considered irrelevant.
I agree with most of what you said but I do believe that the Tea Party members who voted with the establishment pols the other day screwed all of us. They should have demanded a debate and then a vote in the Senate for CC&B but they backed off from that. My Congressman tried his best to get those in the House to see that point but too many of them thought the best way to get re-elected was to side with the establishment.

Those poor people really believed they could spend their way out of a depression that was caused by the Allied people and their Treaty but they learned the hard way. I wonder if Geithner's colleges any taught anything about the Weimars and the Chinese. If they did he must have been as a young socialist meeting that day.

Then what? The problem with socialism is that you will ALWAYS have more people eating than you have cooking.

GregW won't answer your question because he can't. He wants socialism for himself, and he wants us to work hard and pay taxes so he can be a "get by in life" kind of guy.

Actually, the date was not arbitrary at all. It was picked so that Obama didn't have to deal with that pesky old "president thingy", and could get down to the real business of celebrating his birthday and campaigning.
