You guys are why you lost the election in WI and why you're going to lose the election in November. You don't persuade anyone with this type of trolling and name calling. You do just the opposite just like the unions did in WI.

Keep it up!

You don't care that your beloved GOP are completely owned by special interest groups like the Kochs, who's only agenda is to destroy the middle class to reign in fascism?
The only ones that could possibly support the Koch / GOP radical right wing agenda are either very wealthy and greedy scumbags, or incredibly stupid yokels.

"You don't care that your beloved GOP are completely owned by special interest groups like the Koch's, whom only agenda is to destroy the middle class to reign in fascism?"

No.

What is their motivation to destroy the middle class?

Can two guys be successful in overthrowing the US government? Even Obama needed help to do that.

Who wants to surrender us the UN control?

Who wants to redistribute the wealth?

Who said we must re-write our history?

Who set aside the law and paid the unions instead of the GM shareholders?

Who wants to allow anyone who wants, citizen or not, to vote? Whose associates want the world to vote for US presidents?

Who passed obamacare by nuclear option after he said he wouldn't?

Who would then warn the supreme court to not overturn legislation created by elected officials who represent the 'voice of the people?

The charges in the OP are a projection of charges claimed against Obama. these folks are holding up mirrors as they have run out of argument.

Ever see who is on the White House visitor's list. See any union leaders, obamacare written by Andy Stern..gosh he receivied accolades for his contribution to that legislation. The green energy lobby and Goldman Sachs own Obama.

The charge in the OP is naive and myopic and will ensure a lost election in Nov 2012 for the socialist regime represented by Obama.

From the OP link: (The Tea Party is) a grass-root organisation born from mounting frustration, disappointment and anger at our growing unemployment; ballooning debt; expanding government; big bank bailout and corporate coddling while main street suffered.

I would add being angry at the dismantling of the constitution. And it is not just the Koch's. I have put my money where my mouth is too. There are plenty of us donating $25 or $50 to specific candidates...like Gov. Walker.

That's what the Koch's, Beck, Palin, and the other propaganda ministers want the fools to think.

The real truth is also from the OP link that (the tea party is) "just a front for the billionaire Koch brothers and other special interest groups hell-bent on pushing their selfish, sinister agenda, subversively. Others say they are a bunch of racists who are beside themselves with rage at some 'Color' ensconced in the White House for the first time--a personal hatred of President Barrack Hussein Obama, with his 'different' sounding name-- being our first African American leader."

Not many. 2/3rds of the puppet Walker's funds came from out of state, large corporate donors with not shockingly the Koch's being one of his biggest donors.

The limits of the right-wing brain. It's all she can understand.
