Boston Tea Party on The Common

[Nebe]

Its a shame sarah palin has been chosen to be their voice..... I like their message too, but the messenger is a complete moron...

[striperman36]

I watched most of her speech live streamed today, she is a total moron, and her speech writers should be fired.

New York Times Poll finds Tea Party members are wealthier, more well educated than the general public ,tend to be Republican, white ,male and married, and their strong opposition to the Obama Administration is more rooted in their political ideology than anxiety about their personal economic situation.

They have 3 main concerns:

The recent HC overhaul.
Government spending.
A feeling that their opinions are not represented in Washington.

So much for Pelosie and the "Astro Turfs".

he was either alligned with other conservatives who vociferously opposed that large expansion of government ...

or he was alligned with other liberals who were only oppose to it because it wasn't a large enough expansion of govermnment in their opinion...and who could not stomach the thought of a Republican president signing into law a huge government entitlement....that's democrap pandering territory exclusively

you constantly roll this out Spence and it's really weak....:

[stcroixman]

I guess the question to ponder is:

Is the Tea party doing more damage to the Republican party or is the Democratic party doing more damage to itself?

I think it's the latter. This edition of Democratic leadership is a joke.
Say what you will about the Clinton years, but the economy was strong and taxes weren't going up all around us.

Obama isn't anymore respected or liked around the world than Bush was.

Really! She is laughing all the way to the bank.

I regard the amount I'm spending now in income tax is at the very high end of fair. I would like to see it go down but current is sustainable. What is not sustainable for me is all the new taxes and fees. What is not sustainable is our country's spending right now. This spending is significantly greater than what it takes in. How can this be good?

JR, if you have money in the bank, eventually interest rates are going to soar. Good for the people who are prudent, not willing to gamble on the stock exchange.

well, according to Obama in his speech yesterday...you need to stop asking these amusing but rediculous questions and start thanking him

Didn't Joe Biden say it was good to pay taxes?

Joe Biden said "everyone has to have some skin in the game" and something else about paying taxes being patriotic.... the wealthy Joe Biden gave 1.44% of his income to charity last year...almost no skin in that game......Obama did a little better coming in just under 6%...although, his income 5.5 million was almost entirely derived from the fraud Nobel prize that he was handed and income from two fictional books that were written for him....don't know if Mrs. O had any income from her 300k no-show job....so much for "earned income" and charity...easy to spread the wealth around when you did/do little or nothing to earn it...I guess it explains their views on taxation and charity...

complete frauds

Obama donated 100% of his Nobel Prize money. I'm willing to give him props when he deserves it.

I heard that speach too. He is the most arrogant, insensitive, and classless President ever. He has nothing but disdain for "the opposition". He truly just doesn't get it.

He was just telling them to "Bring It On."
