Yeah, it isn't even clever as it relies on people to be actually ignorant of the meaning of words. Says a lot about those who support this propaganda, doesn't it?

I agree. And it will make it all that much easier to sell them on anything.
And they are the majority now..America's Race to the Bottom is almost complete.

The Teabaggers are apparently against any government activity that does not benefit them. as in "No government health care but don't tough my Medicade."

This movement (?) does not have to make sense.

Greg - do you understand what the Constitution says about the role of the federal government? Do you realize the federal government is not around to provide for every want and need of citizens?

Every once in a while (and I hate to be the one to break this to you) people might have to provide for themselves. I know it sucks, but that is what being an adult is about.

I thought they equated ANY sort of federal government intervention as socialism. I guess they want it both ways.... Rail about government but benefit from the rewards government can bring.
I had to listen to two of those Morons whining about Socialist Health Care
yesterday while they were waiting to see the doctor at the VA, Veteran Administration, Government Owned Hospital where the doctor is a Federal Employee. As crowded as it was I'd say a lot of them aren't too proud to accept Socialist health care
