Tea party accomplishments
 
I'd love to hear exactly what the tea party has accomplished in its tenure. I want the good and the bad! What is the perception of the tea party within our community?

Guest 03-25-2015 05:43 AM

Let's start with the government shutdown and the downgrade of our credit rating by Congress's reluctance to pay its bills(for items they voted in favor of).

Juste coated with sincerity, right.

Still waiting????

Guest 03-25-2015 08:51 AM

1) rigor mortis in Congress

2) alienation in government

3) disenchantment with GOP

The Tea Party has raised "awareness".

Liberals love having their awareness raised.

Therefore, the liberals love the Tea Party!

The whole "occupy" movement was about raising awareness. I honestly forget what issue I had my awareness raised about, but I'm sure it was important.

They've given SNL enough material for the next five years, at least.

Guest 03-25-2015 07:34 PM

The tea party's biggest accomplishment will be getting a woman elected to the presidency for the first time in US history:bigbow:

Guest 03-26-2015 07:15 AM

I find it amusing that in two days not one accomplishment was brought out by the tea partiers here. If you support this organization, why are you not out front, and stating your case. Maybe deeply seated (understandable)guilt? I don't get it.

Sounds like turn about fair play to me.
Some of you folks NEVER respond to a direct question EVER.

One of the tea party's greatest achievements is making sure that employers decide what type of birth control a woman can use and even if she can use birth control.

Indiana Gov. Pence Signs Anti-Gay Religious Freedom Bill Into Law


Tea Partiers can be quite proud of getting these "religious freedom bills" passed, allowing businesses to discriminate against anyone who they fundamentally disagree with.

I agree with the supreme court. Hobby Lobby provided MANY different forms of birth control in the health insurance they provided their employees. Their religious beliefs did not support aborting a fertilized egg (life) via an IUD.

Guest 03-26-2015 04:32 PM

...and with that idiotic bill being signed into law, the Republican party lost even more supporters nationwide.

Republicans seem to forget their voter base depends on the mainstream membership has to be more inclusive of beliefs of others.

Walker had no problem surviving his recall. Oh, and how many other states have since adopted Tea Party sponsored right to work laws? Seems to fly in the face of your argument, doesn't it?

Guest 03-26-2015 07:16 PM

The long term affects of Scott Walker will harm generations for years to come...he is well on his way to privatizing edcuation. So far from what our gore father's fought for: public education for ALL

I think the long term effects of Scott Walker will greatly HELP generations for years to come. Funny how we see it exactly opposite. I'm pretty sure I'm right, though.

Public union dues are funneled to politicians, the same politicians these unions bargain with for pay and benefits. The obvious problem is that the taxpayer (ME!) is left paying the tab. Private unions are great. If the company can't afford the tab, the stockholders pay, not John Q. Public. See the important difference?

I'm curious how you see it so differently?

Guest 03-27-2015 06:36 AM

So the best you can come up with is Scott Walker, the man who compares teachers, firemen, and police to Isis. Wow, be ashamed, very ashamed.

That is an "achievement" ?? Only if you consider a travesty an achievement.

Well we know what the Tea Party has not promulgated that is being espoused by liberals ...and that's enslaving people with entitlements, endorsing hedonistic behavior, destroying the nuclear family, a run away deficit, irresponsible spending misapplication of energy resources that is weaken America's security, redistribution of taxpayers money that's killing GDP growth, elitist /snobbish university system that is destroying the patriotic spirit of our young people, stifling free speech, freedom of religion, critical thinking and brain washing them to communist philosophy, disengaged young people who believe they owe America nothing

The Tea Party has been a responsible grass roots movement to bring this country back to its senses avoiding the fate of the Roman empire

And paid for by the Koch Brothers, trying to do away with those pesky corporate taxes and heaven forbid, invironmental regulations. Give be a break, they are more about bigotry, racism, religious control, voter disenfranchisement and basic denial of freedoms of choice regarding our own bodies!

Truths:

1. The liberal posters are truly too stupid to form a coherent argument.

2. The few liberals with an IQ above moron parrot the racist, bigot, homophobe moniker in literally every post. I feel like I'm debating kindergartners, and I probably am!

Liberalism (translated means to "rely on others for your survival and condition in life") is a mental illness and these patients are terminal. Pull the plug!

Imagine a frightened rat in a dark building and that is how the average liberal views life. Cheese, heat and another gay mouse ought to be provided to every liberal mouse or it's not fair!

Here's a perfect example of someone who is unable to comprehend the absolute basics of this Supreme Court ruling.

Why waste your time with the functionally illiterate?

Are there any liberals with at least a GED here?
