Also Anderson Cooper, always wise:

"It's hard to talk when you're tea-bagging."
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Don't they understand that taxes are for their own good?

No, some people are so short sighted they don't see the benefit of shooting Iraqis.   :(
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Well I hope Janet Napolitano is watching all the tea parties as close as possible.  Lots of dangerous right-wingers there.

The teaparty is a GOP creature?  :huh:  What?

The party most infamous for massive deficits is forming a party to combat deficits?  Well next time they get in power we will see...

If future results are indicated by past performance color me perplexed.  I thought they were the dudes who assumed the certainty of continous economic growth made deficits ok and our deficits were not actually bad at all compared to other countries if you go by things like percentage of the total economy.

The news report I heard said libertarians were all pissy at the Republican party for that move.

QuoteTea Partiers are hoping that if they mimic the energy of anti-war protests and the savvy of Obama's new media operation, that at some point an actual movement will spawn.  Getting together a bunch of pissed off middle-aged white people with no clue about how the tax system works in public areas will generate a coherent agenda designed to combat the stimulus; if it gets enough media coverage, they will DOMINATE THE AGENDA.

It's like taping a horn to a horse and waiting for it to alight on a magic cloud of stardust and pixies.

And then the Republicans will get back in power...and spend exactly the same amount that Obama is spending...only they will cut taxes while doing it.

I don't get your point. Was Oklahoma City done by a leftist?

You're assuming we get another big-government conservative like Bush.  I doubt that will happen.

I think I'm missing your point as well.

No I am assuming we get some socially conservative populist like Huckabee.  The days of the small government Republicans are over man.

Then there's no difference at all as Barack has cut taxes too.
