The Tea Party movement; If it requires thought they are against it.
Think about that for just a moment.

We understand the need to stem climate change. We understand the need to maintain a woman's right to choose. We understand how important universal health care is to the future of the Country. We understand why we need to end endless wars. We understand why the EPA is critical to our survival. We understand the importance of Medicare and the VA. We understand that without taxation, there would be no public services. We understand the need to organize labor to guarantee a future for the middle class. We understand the importance of keeping manufacturing jobs in America. We understand the need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. We understand the importance of equal rights for all.


Those who associate themselves with the Tea party movement do not believe in individual rights and freedoms, they only believe in how any concept or action benefits them, without any cohesive thought process. If we are for it, they are against it.


God help us and them.

1. We really need to Lay Off the Teabaggers. IMHO
They're doing a great job of devide and conquer on the Republican party. Just let them go.
If anything we should encourage them to get even wackier and more delusional. They're bringing down the Republicans credability with every rally. They look like gun tottin whackaloons. Pass the popcorn.

5. Really, you just think they'll go away? Not have any influence?
What did I read somewhere, 41% of the people polled think more highly of the Tea Party movement, way higher than either the Pukes or Dems. These folks are dangerous, to ALL of our futures. Lay off my wrinkled old ass.

2. The phrase "If we are for it, they are against it" describes modern day Conservative thought.
The GOP and Conservatives are bereft of original thought and don't even make the attempt to correct any problem in this Country.

4. They're not kidding when they say they want to circle the wagons.
They're living in the 19th century, and that's where they want to go back.
