2. I'm not sure teabaggers qualify as clunkers
They're too old and are not in operating condition.

5. But if you look at the requirements
The clunker has to be in running condition. Do these two look like they're functioning?

3. I don't know the number
But I'll bet it's higher than the number of them who benefited from the Bush tax cuts.

6. Better Question:How many have applied for HAM
They sure aren't bitching about that. I frequent a message board called Loan Safe,very helpful info
on dealing with your lender for a Modification per the HAM program. By the looks of the posts I would say maybe half are freeps. The spelling loose/for lose calling the whole thing Obama plan
and really being pretty clueless about how things work in general. My encounters with freepers tell me they are unread and don't know how to spell, also too they seem to be expecting miracles.
Example: I bought a house for $400,000 and now it's only worth 275,000 my income is only 2500 a month they can't lower my payment to 31% of my income. This is helping nobody the Banks all want us to loose our homes. Obama has done nothing to help us.
Like he is just standing there making snap decisions.

10. Reminds me of a joke...
And I'm originally from S.C.

:hi:

Somewhere in the South, a redneck, a blind man, and a one-armed man are sitting in a dark, smoky bar.

The one-armed man peers thru the smoke and gloom and says: "I be damned! That looks like Jesus sitting at the end of the bar!"

The blind man asks: "Jesus Gonzalez, my neighbor?"

"No, Jesus Christ. Long hair, sandals, nail holes. All that."

"OK," says the blind man. "If you say so. Bartender, give Jesus a beer on my tab."

A few minutes later, the long-haired man gets off his bar stool, walks back to the blind man, and says: "Thank you, my son."

Then he gently touches the blind man's eyes.

"I can SEE! I can SEE! It's a miracle!"

The one-armed man quickly tells the bartender to give Jesus another beer. Jesus touches the one-armed man's empty sleeve...

"My arm grew back! I can't believe it! It's a miracle...!"

The redneck looks at Jesus and says: "Don't you touch me, you bastard. I'm collecting disability."

13. LOL
I hadn't heard that one before.

The trouble with me is that I
can never remember jokes that
are more than 3 lines....

9. That is a good question
How many of those tea baggers that are working accepted tax cuts that came from that evil stimulus? Seems to me that if they had any convictions they would send their Obama tax cuts back to the government.

16. Perfectly consistent behavior. They want as much stuff as possible.
At least you can't accuse them of hypocrisy.

Unless you want to nit pick and point out that when the government spends money it will have to raise the equivalent amount of revenue.

17. They're always the first to rally against things like health care.....
and other "socialized" programs but once it gets passed they are the first at the front of the line to get that assistance. Freepers, teabaggers and right wingers are idiots in every sense of the word.
