Kid Rock.....another shining example of GOP uber-Christian morality.

Kid Rock ever serve in the military, or is he yet another GOP ass who proudly supports those who have the balls to do what he never would? Anyone else see a pattern emerging there? I sure do.

Please, tell me just how things are supposed to be so wonderful and utopian under Tea Party tenets? I really want to know just what will be so great about a country where no one gives a shit about anyone else and the wealthy and powerful have free reign to ride us as hard as they like and demand whatever they want from us? Leave us to drop dead if we don't deliver?

To be fair, I do think you have a nice vision of your American Xanadu........I just don't think you realize that that is not where you are taking us. If you take power from elected government and hand it to the private sector, you are handing it to people NO ONE ever voted for. This is NOT freedom or democracy. It is something far different, and far less desirable, IMHO.

It's been three days and not a single Tea Partier can answer a simple question.

Their thoughts are clearly knotted up.

The only.... as in ONLY unifying principle is pure mindless hatred of President Obama. The Teabaggers have been marinating in this toxic brew for so long that they've become incapable of any other thought or emotion.

They view everything in the reflection from the funhouse mirror of their own hatred. We have several posters here who demonstrate that with every post they make.

I won't speak for the tea partiers here, but my TP neighbor is a tough lady. However she's never made a racist comment and don't seem like a hater.

I never mentioned racism. The reason I didn't is twofold. First, I don't believe that the manifest hatred teabaggers harbor for the President is racial in all cases. Second, even mentioning racism in this context almost invariable provokes counter-charges of black racism.
