A completely far right bible excessive nut who would make absolutely stupid decisions on all social policy. Or a completely far left nut who would rubber stamp every single spending and taxing bill in his quest for a social utopia through socialism.
When will people understand that we need NORMAL people in powers of office and that the current system is so thoroughly broken that it needs to be replaced. Does anyone actually truly think that McCain would of not done almost the exact same things Obama has? If so you are blinded by political nonsense from people like Maher or Limbaugh for your respective side.
There is a reason congress's approval rating is 11% Dem's have been in power since 2006 and after getting presidency in 2008 had a total complete majority. They could have and still can literally ram any bill they want through the GOP might as well not even be there but they still get blamed for everything guess whats gonna happen if the GOP does sweep and gets both houses back, you guessed it THE SAME THING. Wake up people it's a game even if you don't agree with the Tea Party what they stand for you should. The majority of us right wing extremists are actually pretty normal and don't bible hump or spew that the end of the world is coming and just want the same old shit out of D.C. to end.
Sorry, when I compare the tea party rally video with (the intentions for) Jon Stewards, who I suppose you'd call "a part of the left wing media" rally to restore sanity, I don't see the Tea Baggers as "normal". Sure, some seem nice and decent, but practically all are horribly ignorant and uninformed.
Why does everyone hate the Tea Party so much? They have no stated views. They aren't trying to achieve any particular goals as far as I can tell. They're just a group of individuals with relatively disparate views yelling incomprehensibly about a bunch of things (or maybe nothing, I can't really tell). The only points that they seem largely to agree on are small government and conservatism (however that's defined). Small government is what the republican party for years has advocated but never delivered. If anything, the Tea Party movement might actually influence republicans to stop spending ludicrous sums of money every time they get into office.
wow after viewing this thread i didnt realize there were many radical leftists in gaming. It does make sense though, the radical left does attract loser-types.
The tea party is a legitimate organization. 12 trillion is our national debt, and the democrats want to spend more. granted the republicans are just as stupid and will spend just as much.
this is why the tea party has emerged, because the american public is SMART enough to realize that both main parties are for all intents and purposes, the same. tea party supporters are not ignorant, as the OP suggested, rather they understand that they are being screwed in a hardcore fashion.
Not to mention the trade deficit which is i believe around 50 billion, which china supports us by buying our debt in the form of treasury bills.
Now americas problem are much more than just economic, but if you look @ just the economics you can see we have a huge problem. of course leftists will say oh just raise tax's. but the real solution that will help the average main streeter is to cut taxes and thats why the tea party has alot of support.
of course if you cut tax's, you have to cut spending, which neither main party is willing to do. the repub's dont want to cut on warfare spending, and the dem's dont want to cut welfare spending. BOTH have to cut, the tea party knows this,

The tea-party is bunch of delusional white people that want the impossible. Economics isn't magic, no matter how hard you pray.
It doesn't matter how many delusional lunatics you get into power, nothing is going to change that.
Whatever their "true" goals an ideas were, all that is left is another media laughing stock led by Beck, Palin and Limbaugh.

Yes your correct the tea party doesnt want to stop military spending that i know of. I know the Paul supporters do want to stop military spending.
as for the comments about religion etc i didnt mention religion.
as for the comments about economics being magic and the rest, typical comment from a leftist. yes the tea partiers are white, you said a bunch of nonsense that doesnt refute anything.

As a conservative republican and someone who has actually attended a tea party event; I appreciate what you are trying to say. However Ron Paul is not our answer, and I really can't make sense of half of what you are saying.
And IMO, anyone with the username "911insidejob" should be instantly banned from the internet.

I would also add that anyone who ends posts with "RON PAUL 2012" be disqualified from being able to post on the interweb for a week, along with a week of mandatory English classes for using tax's instead of taxes, etc.
I'm not sure it is possible to defend the Tea Party as any sort of intellectual player in politics.
This graph would also like to have a word with you about main problem facing small businesses. Hint: it is weak demand caused by a financial collapse and recession, not communists in the White House!

I disagree. Religion should definitely be taught in school, as it is a big influence in the lives of people. It should not be taught as fact, however. But everybody should have a basic knowledge of the beliefs of the people around them. It's pretty hard to understand your fellow man if you don't understand his beliefs.
Really? Are you sure that drawing the line there makes any sense?? I mean, why not start mandatory, state-directed courses in culture, economics and politics? On some level I agree that schools should be about more than just helping people to prepare for the job market, but singling out religion is giving it too much credit. The reality is that rifts in beliefs about what's right and what's wrong (morality, ethics,..) go way beyond religion, even for religious people. Who's going to decide which identity topics get covered and in what way? What current subjects are going to be downgraded in favor of these new ones? Don't get me wrong, I like your idea. It just strikes me as problematic on several levels. Also, religion isn't rocket science and as long as there's diversity in schools, kids will automatically learn a thing or two about the different beliefs.
fwiw they did have courses (very basic of course) on culture (more in the sense of historical cultures), economics, and government in my high school. I'd totally support a "survey of world religions" course that teaches the facts of major religions - ie, what they actually believe, how they were founded, where they are most commonly practiced and how common they are in this country as well. So much fear, or even hate, is based around misconceptions.
Regardless of your stance regarding the role of the state, big or small, if you really have that low an opinion of your elected representatives, would it not be better if you elected smarter people next time, instead of dumber? You really get the politicians you deserve.
