So I guess the tea baggers don't support the troops anymore?
Tax money is what keeps the troops in the field going. Tax money pays for everything the wounded troops need when they come back home from the war. We still have 140,000 troops in Iraq and another 20,000 in Afghanistan. How do we supply and support the troops if everyone in America don't pay their fair share of that cost. Should the working poor in this country pay for everything while they are being laid off, or forced to take wage cuts and benefit reductions at the same time?

What about the kids of the working poor's "right to life?" Where is all that the "Compassion," in "Compassionate Conservatism"?

4. Cheap Talk was what the wealthy had to offer...

While the rich took 5 tax cuts and 4,200 American troops bled out their life blood in the sand, because of the lies the neocons told.

EDIT...I refuse to, "Not Look Back"

"I wouldn't trust a republican in a shit house with a muzzle on," my Dad always said.

They ate up every bit of BUSHit they could snap up, for 12 years all together and now they want you and me to pay for their stupidity and short-sightedness. I suppose that, when they are sitting on an interstate bridge somewhere that starts to crumble and fall from disrepair they will blame you and me before they hit the toxic polluted water.

7. did anyone see one sign saying anything about the Iraq invasion?
I didn't. FOX and their other corporate sponsors for the teabagging event got these people who attended in a lather, shows how sick they are.

8. I never heard a word about the war or the troops or...
the Bush tax cuts for the rich in time of war. Not a word about the GOP's deregulation or the SEC's ineptitude.

12. That's why I come here every day to remind the freepers and
the trolls. Memory requires a little more brain power than a typical repub moran has at his or her disposal. It's up to us to keep on reminding people how we got to where we are right now. Not just here on DU, but remind them everywhere you go.

No looking back is foolish, IMHO.
