Tea drinkers vs Kool Aide drinkers.
Are you sure about this? Look at the photos of the Tea baggers (espicially around their waistline) it looks like they drink more beer than tea. :wink:
Tea drinkers vs Kool Aide drinkers.
Then, just out of curiosity, why are we still having this discussion?See ....
You misunderstand MY stand on Tea Partiers just like many others.
I AM in favor of 'some' of their political concerns ... HOWEVER ... I AM against the screamed invectives that cover up any possibility that their message(s) will be heard.
I am ALSO against the idea that government's ONLY real job is to pick-up garbage, maintain the roads, man fire stations or run police patrols of our streets/roads. I believe that government can ALSO act as a brake on economic runaway practices in several areas of our economy. Government needs to work in an oversight capacity.
IF THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T, NOTHING ELSE WILL WORK AS A SUBSTITUTE. Historically, actual facts/precedents show that if it is possible for an industry to be controlled by one small group, IT WILL - which leads to runaway price increases etc, (kind of like the Petroleum Industry today).
My view of government is that of a moderate ... conservative economically but liberal when it comes to such things as Medical Health policies, taking care of the aged, ensuring veterans are taken care of (they earned it), etc.
Personally ... I would like to take a fire hose to 'most' Tea Party extremists. From my perspective however, that probably means MOST of those who show up for the Tea Party political rallies.
BTW ... I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR A TEA PARTIER.

Is the headline endorsing pedophillia? Because it certainly looks like it. (Yes, yes I know, pedophillia technically only applies to prepubescent kids but I couldn't find a better word.)English must NOT be your first language ... after all ... reading is fundamental.
Both Partys have pervs, but where the Reps are the good guys The Others makes a big deal about GOP pervs.:hide: (being the GOP is supposed to be the "Family Values" Party.)Is the headline endorsing pedophillia? Because it certainly looks like it. (Yes, yes I know, pedophillia technically only applies to prepubescent kids but I couldn't find a better word.)
My question is ... DID YOU ACTUALLY CLICK ONTO THE ARTICLE/SITE THAT I LISTED???Is the headline endorsing pedophillia? Because it certainly looks like it. (Yes, yes I know, pedophillia technically only applies to prepubescent kids but I couldn't find a better word.)
Now that I read it, I am now scared of the Tea party. Pedophillia is not O.K.My question is ... DID YOU ACTUALLY CLICK ONTO THE ARTICLE/SITE THAT I LISTED???
What I listed in my post, were the headings of the paragraphs contained within my reference. Evidently you DIDN'T visit the site or you would have known that.
From what I've read about it both were nude in a hot tub, but niether seem to alledge any sexual activity. Is the case being made that all nudists are pedophiles because they are around nude minors?Now that I read it, I am now scared of the Tea party. Pedophillia is not O.K.
The fact that he bribed her with $150,000 (enough to buy a crappy house, or two and a half fully operational but unarmed tanks off the internet) says quite a lot.From what I've read about it both were nude in a hot tub, but niether seem to alledge any sexual activity.

Sounds like another politician paying a bribe & the article reads like a typical Liberal Media smear campaign.The fact that he bribed her with $150,000 (enough to buy a crappy house, or two and a half fully operational but unarmed tanks off the internet) says quite a lot.
Pretty much what it is.Sounds like another politician paying a bribe & the article reads like a typical Liberal Media smear campaign.

Prove it. Show me that beyond financial conservatism, the Tea Party supporters have varying political backgrounds. Because quite frankly, I don't think you can."Tea party members said the backlash comes from ignorance.
"They can't actually debate our message and that's their problem," said Bob MacGuffie, a Connecticut organizer for Right Principles, a tea party group that also has members in New York and New Jersey." AP
"The tea party movement generally unites on the fiscally conservative principles of small government, lower taxes and less spending. Beyond that the ideology of the people involved tends to vary dramatically." AP
What lie? The lie that most of these people are conservative right wing advocates? The lie that most of these people are probably against gay rights, against abortion, against most liberal ideologies? Because I got news for ya, that ain't a lie.The tactic these liberals want to use to discredit the Tea Party is commonly refered to as "THE BIG LIE".
It works on the principal that if you lie loud enough and long enough people tend to accept it as truth.

I don't think I can prove anything to you. I will wait until your college education advances and you take a political science class and learn about the "BIG LIE" tactic.Prove it.
