Imagine suddenly becoming concerned about it when a black guy with a funny name was voted into office.
no, that's just when YOU and people like you stopped taking notice of the spending! If all the people who couldn't stand Bush because of his spending were true to their values, they'd still be pissed because Obama is spending 3 times as much as Bush did! But no, because he's got a D beside his name and is black, you all think he can do no wrong! It's BS!

That's not really true. Democrats put up candidates that can win general elections. The Tea Baggers put up ultra-extreme ideologues that win GOP primaries but crash and burn in the general election (fine with me.)
The GOP would control the Senate had it not put up Sharon Angle who couldn't defeat Harry Reid, who was very unpopular; the witch in Delaware and that "legitimate rape" guy. (There were a few more, but I made my point.)
The Tea Party is really the gift that keeps on giving!
Well anyone can put forward someone who shouts Free Welfare and Health Care for all.......now we're overload with food stamp recipients and health care even experts don't know what the hell is going on.
We've become a nation of pansies thanks the the progressive left!
If you are going to quote Morgenthau, also quote, his call to raise taxes on the wealthy.
"We have never begun to tax the people in this country the way they should be..... I don't pay what I should. People in my class don't. People who have it should pay."
On FDR's unemployment rate, ahemmm:
Even though I'm far from wealthy, I oppose raising taxes on anyone.
I oppose this for the same reason I disapprove of feeding wild bears.
It only makes them stronger and when they get hungry again, and they will, they will be back.
The "Tea Party" is like a completely rudderless boat lost in a vast ocean of open water. Too big to sink right now, but unable to do anything but float around while helplessly blaring the call horn.
I agreed with most of what you said except this. Sure the nutters do the loudest shouting in both parties, but I do not see the Democrats purging their party of moderates. In fact, they adore Bill Clinton and Obama who are center or center left at most.
The GOP is full of uninformed true believers. For instance 2/3 don't believe in evolution.
I am not saying all Republicans are dumb, but the loud and dumb contingent in the GOP is far larger, louder, and dumber than in the Democratic party.
To loud and dumb, I would add stubborn and vindictive. As I said in the OP, the only sense I can see in their actions in the congress is if they thinks that by sabotaging the president, even if it means hosing the whole country, they score points with their base or their corporate supporters. The Democratic base is neither as dumb, nor as mean as the GOP base. So, no they are not the same.
uhm... Democrats got what they wanted on the healthcare bill. Repbulicans had ZERO say. No republican was involved in the writing of the bill, and the bill passed with no republican support.
Lets please keep history accurate.
