Either the Republicans will seize the House and Senate, in which case we will get epic gridlocks and endless, pointless, baseless investigations, in which case we basically get status quo… or they won’t, but gain some seats, in which case we get status quo.
Looks like same ol’, same ol’ to me. But enjoy your 2010 midterm. The new Know-Nothings never like to talk about what happens after, say, in 2012. I wonder why? Maybe they’re afraid of the end of the Long Count! Which, given the Tea Party’s intellectual bankruptcy, would not surprise me in the least.
Good move to put this in the Pit, where it belongs.
Horrible, horrible statement bolded above. Little evidence that the movement cares about race? When two of their major mouthpieces, whom Teabaggers (Don’t like that term being used? I cried two tears in a bucket.) Glennandrush, more or less live on race-baiting? Bone in the nose picture? Spitting on black congressmen? (Oh, no video evidence, therefore the Teabaggers are telling the truth? Bite me, bitch.)
The mind set is whats important.
The OP wants a segment of the populace to die and go away because he doesn’t like them, and then goes on how nice it would be if they were gone. This mind set is no different than that of a klansman or nazi.
How do you have reasoned debate with people who are either misinformed or not informed at all? Debate relies on pre-existing facts and persuasion, neither of which are useful at all if the other side refuses to acknowledge facts that aren’t featured or highlighted on Fox News.
I saw plenty. The 2003-2004 anti-Iraq war protests were filled with people brandishing placards wishing death and disfigurement on President Bush. You couldn’t throw a stick in any direction without it hitting someone calling him a Nazi and a terrorist.
I’ve never been to a tea-party protest but, based on the footage I’ve seen, it’s clear that the number anti-war protestors wishing death on Bush dwarfs the number of tea-partiers wishing death on Obama. That said, there’s no doubt that some tea-partiers are making those sorts of statements.
The relevant distinction here, the difference that makes the difference, is that all the hatred and scorn heaped on Bush was deserved. Bush is a lying baby killer cunt war criminal responsible for hundreds of thousands of innocent deaths and if there was any justice in the world then he, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Blair would have been tried in the Hague, strung up from the nearest tree, and their families billed for the cost of the rope. What has Obama done to deserve the level of hatred he receives from the tea-partiers?
