um, you do know that majority means over 50%, right?

regardless. It is not congress' job to 'listen to the majority'. It is their job to vote on legislation according to what they believe are the best interests for the country. YOU are supposed to elect the ones that you think best represent YOU.

Hence, why we are in 2 wars that the majority of the country did not want.

You win some, you lose some.

Too good...
Maybe you should refrain from using a vulgarity (twice), and instead try and actually think for once. "Their" Constitution is also your Constitution. And we're not angry because it isn't "working out", but because our politicians are attempting to render it useless. The same could happen to liberals, but they're too busy giggling about using dirty words to see that.

Too pathetic.

What is this "huge turnout over the last year" they're talking about???

20 Neo-cons drinking Starbucks on a street corner with signs that say "honk if you support the troops" is hardly a "huge turnout"...

I am a recovering Tea-Bagger. I gave up on them when they abandoned their original idea, and turned into a Republican rally and Obama-hate group. Now they are trying to take down private businesses and put regular hard working people out of their jobs. The hell with them. They claim to represent something, but their tactics are turning into those of radical commies.

I thought striking was just for those commie leftist pinko bastards.

Amazing how things are all right if they do it, but hideously evil if anyone else dares to.

My, you have been busy! This is the fourth thread you started today, and I haven't even finished going through the list of threads!

But, what does CNN know about the Tea Paty movemen? They haven't covered it. They are liberals.

I submit, whatever CNN says about it, they are wrong.
