Teabaggin' at $500 a shot!

“When Washington came calling with money for expensive programs that Texas couldn’t afford, he told them, ‘Thanks, but no thanks. We’re doing just fine without you,’ ” she said.

How long will the folks in Washington keep spending money that they don’t have on solutions they haven’t thought through for problems they don’t really understand?” Perry said. “I suspect the answer is, they will continue to do that until every American is dependent on the federal government for every need.”

Supporters lined up three hours before start time at the Cypress-Fairbanks school district’s $73 million Berry Center, a massive taxpayer-funded complex that includes a football stadium, auditorium, conference center and arena.

Wait, that Perry/Palin rally gets even better.

Palin

Perry

And of course, the location:

Idiots.

To be fair, there was a second "O" in "HOMESCHOLERS", but it was offered up to Perry's magnificent haircut as a sacrifice.

that will work until the next election cycle, when those same voters kick the GOP candidate out of office for towing the GOP line. as for Massachusetts, that might be so--but as mydogfarted pointed out, Coakley ran an incredibly shitty campaign.

SergeantPsycho said:

That shitty campaign included Obama's failed attempt at coming to her rescue. You don't think it's a stretch to say that some one who likes Obama wouldn't vote for Coakely, knowing full well that doing so would derail his domestic policy?

In any case, Pennsylvania going to have another non-referendum-on-Obama in May, so I guess we'll see won't we? Even of the Dems' guy runs a decidely non-shitty campaign, I doubt'll make a difference.

How awesome would a Palin-Obama debate be? Epic verbal beat down.

Whenever I hear someone say "the American people" I always reread the sentence with "I" or "me" in its place. The end result is always far more accurate.

The fucking conservatives....you can never get rid of them

Urged on by conservative commentators, waves of newly minted activists are turning to once-obscure books and Web sites and discovering a set of ideas long dismissed as the preserve of conspiracy theorists, interviews conducted across the country over several months show. In this view, Mr. Obama and many of his predecessors (including George W. Bush) have deliberately undermined the Constitution and free enterprise for the benefit of a shadowy international network of wealthy elites.

Tea Party gatherings are full of people who say they would do away with the Federal Reserve, the federal income tax and countless agencies, not to mention bailouts and stimulus packages. Nor is it unusual to hear calls to eliminate Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Interesting piece in the NYT on the teabaggers that shows just how full of the crazy they are. In case that wasn't apparent to you before. Long, but worth a read.

That is scary.

vermicious_knid said:

What exactly is "scary?"

mydogfarted said:

The fact that these people are preparing for an armed uprising. These people fear the end of the Republic, but their willing to bring it on themselves. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, we're witnessing the decline of the U.S. Unfortunately, these wackjobs are going to accelerate the decline. I don't disagree with some of these people's ideals, but the fact that they are poorly organized, wholly uninformed, and being infiltrated by radical militia groups tells me we're headed for something no different than the problems Muslim nations around the world are dealing with with the likes of Al Qaeda, etc.

FearTheReaper said:

It's the militias all over again. First it was because Clinton was president, now it's Obama. But this time, they've found a "party" to rally around. The media will cheer them on, until there is another Oklahoma City, then the media will turn on them and they will run off to the hills and their encampments.
