4th of July Tea Party, in Raleigh

[Claude Bowles]

cc, I will personally upload pictures of folks and families at today's Tea Party, your photo is a insult to patriots of this great nation that's trying to stop this out of control federal government and taxation and the liberal movement that wants to take more money from it's citzens.

With Obama sporting a 65% approval rating, I would say that you folks are in the minority. Why the hell you think of yourselves as patriots because you go stand in the hot sun with teabags attached to your head is beyond me. Having listened to some of the speeches from your rallies you appear to have no solutions and nothing but complaints. You don't speak for me or the majority of the population.

(By the way, you do know that you need to add water to make sun tea, don't you?)

What is the approval rating of the congress? Obama is still in his honeymoon period, also polls are biased.

Sixty-five percent?  I guess that depends upon the poll you are looking at.

As you can see, on economic issues (which happens to be exactly what the protests are about) only 42 percent give him good marks.

That number will continue to go down as people really begin to understand the ramifications of his spending.

This is a little graphical representation to drive the point home.



This is one of the things that puts liberals like yourself on the defensive.  I really don't blame you for your horrible attitude Claude.  You've been sold a bill of goods.  It stands to reason that you'd act like a complete jackass.

As far as what "solutions" have been presented, if you haven't heard them, you really haven't been listening.

The answer, quite simply, is to lower spending.  But that's exactly the opposite of what Obama is doing.

If you want to talk about not offering answers, then why don't you answer a few of my questions?  No one has had the guts to even make an attempt at explaining how we are going to pay for Obama's healthcare plan.

So please, don't talk to me about not having answers.  In my view, every liberal that chooses to laud Obama's healthcare plan, yet dodge answering how we're going to pay for it, is a coward.

The pain's coming in the form of taxes, Claude.  That's the inevitable truth of the matter.  And when it does, people are going to look around and wonder what exactly they bought with all that spending.  And you know what they'll find?  A bloated government and a bunch of failed programs like Cap and Trade.

When that day comes in the not so distant future, good luck with your sermons about a socialist utopia.  People will laugh in your face.

[Claude Bowles]

Oh, dear, dear, backward Beel Junior. I can't tell you how much joy I take in your frustration with me and our new president. I don't even mind being called a complete jackass when it comes from a total butthole such as yourself.

I am so enjoying the frustration you right-wing jerks are experiencing after we have had to suffer through the eight long years of your party's administration digging the hole we are in now.

I continue to have great hopes for our country, support our president and wish him well. If he has to raise taxes to reverse what you and your ilk have led us to, so be it. It's what has to be done to upright the ship of state.

As to the "socialist utopia," you right-wingers have been bantering the term around so long you don't even know what it means. And right now, the only face I'm laughing in is yours. So pile on your vitriol, keep that poker up your butt and hang on. It's gonna be a very, very long eight years for you.

Sweet dreams.

Claude you better be careful with RJLeeb...if you say anything he doesn't like he will send you a personal message and threaten you for daring to speak when he has told you what to do and you dare to respond in the negative against his view or orders if you will.

[belle]

I love Leeb's PM's.

[RJLeeb]

And yet, no one dares attempt to answer the question of how we're going to pay for all these grand plans.

As far as "righting the ship of state", raising taxes is exactly what will prolong our economic downturn.  Only the deluded would believe we can somehow tax ourselves into prosperity.

What I fear for the next 7+ years aren't things that would just adversely affect the "right wingers".  The things I fear will affect us all.

Surely not as much as I love yours. 

[Claude Bowles]

Could it possibly be that the question you are boring us to death with cannot yet be answered? There are several versions of health plans still working their way through congress. Until the bills are released with the attendant plans attached on how they will be funded, anything one might say now is purely speculation.

The plan I'm referring to is Obama's plan, which has been made abundantly clear.

The reason you won't answer it is because raising taxes is the most counterproductive thing we could do.

And you know it.

And so do the Tea Party participants you ridiculed.   

[Silk_Hope]

Remember 95% of Americans working or not received their tax decrease. He lived up to that promise, now he is free to raise taxes.

Claude, so do you agree that Pres Obama had gone back on his promise of transparency? I guess you meant to say "Until the bills have been sped read, released with the attendant plans attached on how they will be funded, anything one might say now is purely speculation."

So you like not knowing what bill is being passed next in a hurry?  Is that what you call "change we can live with?"

If you are so bored, why do you bother reading the posts?

[Claude Bowles]

Doesn't matter what his plan is. It's what eventually comes out of congress that matters.

The reason you won't answer it is because raising taxes is the most counterproductive thing we could do.
And you know it.

No, we won't know the tax consequences until we see the final bill agreed upon by both houses. But, however they decide to fund it, rescinding the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy is fine with me.

And so do the Tea Party participants you ridiculed.   

People who tape teabags to their heads and mill around in the hot sun carrying raggedy, meaningless signs invite ridicule.

I was there yesterday and I did not see one person with a tea bag on their forehead, or any raggedy signs.

Please show some proof of this ridiculous statement.

[Clyde]

these signs definitely aren't raggedy, but what do they mean?
