As I've said, that sounds fair. Because if you don't paint the TEA party as hillbilly baby killers, people might actually take the time to listen to their message...and we can't have that!

...and, I'm not tired of the way people respond to my posts. I'm tired of every thread being an unimaginative version of "tea baggers are evil!"
If it were one just guy that would be a different story. But it's not. Rand Paul stated recently, when asked what he'd cut, that he'd cut across the board... except medicare payments to doctors. Seems Mr Paul makes a pretty good living on those payments and he's not in favor of cutting them. Michelle Bachmann has come out and joined the tea party and is calling for an end to ear marks. Well all ear marks except those going to transportation in her state, those ear marks create jobs. Miller in Alaska thought unemployment benefits were unconstitutional yet he and his family have received such benefits. He also thought social security should be phased out... you know after his parent were no longer in need of it.

I've listened to their message. I just don't believe them. I used to vote for GOP and conservative people quite regularly. Having seen what they do with the budget and spending I'm more then a little leery.

And who called TEA party folks hillbilly baby killers?

Plus if you're tried of people calling the TEA Party evil you should be on the other side where everything Obama does is EVIL. Hell he went to a oil spilled beach a few months ago and the clothes he wore were too nice. Had he shown up in shorts and a polo shirt I have little doubt it would have been "My God doesn't this guy know he's the POTUS!
