9. You're assuming TeaBaggers are reasonable people willing to discuss anything

when they're anything but. If they were reasonable, they'd know what fakes they are; they're not a grassroots organization. They're funded by mega corporations out to take this country down. If they were reasonable, they'd know Medicare is government. They don't. If they were reasonable, they'd look past the president's skin color. Studies have shown that the majority are racists and White Supremacists. They are Republicans despite their new label. They're now congregating behind R'money who is everything they say they detest. These are just a few examples why no one would ever have a reasonable discussion with most of these people although, like with everything else, there are exceptions.
