california tax revolt: attend a TEA PARTY!

[Arraya]

[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Arraya: It’s interesting, and I don’t know if you’ve noticed it, but the rightists on the board (Partypup, me) are finding more and more in common with the leftists/left leaning (you, Afx) as of late.

I’m attributing this to an awakening as to what the real threat in this country is and it isn’t each other. Nor is it gay marriage or gun control or any of those other wedge issues that Carville, Rove and Co. have thrown in front of us in the last 20 years to deflect us from the real problems we’re facing.

People are waking up to reality and at some point, societally speaking, this shit is going to hit critical mass. Then the fun starts.[/quote]

I think MLK said it best…”We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”

Afx114, in the midst of EVERYTHING that is happening – as we watch Obama incur the biggest deficit in American history and pass the fruits of that deficit to banks (just as Bush began to do with TARP) – how do you possibly come to the conclusion that these protesters are simply angry Republicans? Seriously, do you think that a Democrat should not be fed up with what is happening? I’ve never voted GOP, and if I hadn’t been on a 3-hour feeding and diapering schedule with my son I would have gladly attended a tea party.

If you think this is just about “right wing” extremists, you’re fooling yourself. [/quote]

Oh, give me a break! If you don’t believe it was the Republicans driving this teabagging party, then you’re extremely gullible!

And the last time I checked, babies were portable…they can be moved from place to place in strollers and car seats.

I just have to wonder where these folks were when Republicans were creating a massive deficit like drunken sailors the last eight years. Not a peep then. Geez how people only see what they want to see.

And to sit here and bitch “Socialism” and “Tyranny” when we have no choice but to loan money in attempts to get us out of the biggest pickle we’ve been in since the Great Depression – which was created while the Republicans fiddled and turned a blind eye – absolutely flabberghasts me.

It’s just like when these folks impeached Gray Davis but now that a Republican Terminator is raising fees shortly after re-election, NOT A PEEP.

What a crock.

Svelte: You think the shit we’re in is simply a result of just the last eight years? No way. Bush was simply finishing what others had started long before he took office, Republican AND Democrat.

You think Barney Frank’s hands are cleaner than Phil Gramm’s? Or Chris Dodd’s, for that matter?

No politician on either side of the aisle wants to step up and tell the American people the truth about the true state of this country. You think this shit is a mess? Wait until you catch a whiff of the biggest unfunded liability on the planet: Medicare and Social Security. You’re talking $80Trn to $100Trn; numbers that absolutely dwarf the present crisis, both in terms of sheer magnitude and societal impact.

Have you heard anything about that? Nope. Think you will? Nope. It’s political suicide.

I do not think partypup is gullible any more than TG is a priest. I think the political fabric contains numerous fibers from both Republicans and Democrats, so entertwined together that neither one wants the truth to be known. A third party would be a big mistake. That is how we inherited Clinton. I think what will be best is to find out who did what and let the chips fall where they may. There is a lot of room for improvement all around. Quit looking for the fall guy to blame. George Bush and the straw man arguments are getting old. Weed out the unfit to represent us regardless of the party. We need a fresh start. Don’t think the tea party is about Obama, it is about incompetent government starting with the bailouts under Bush that are continuing under Obama.
