So, if you can't answer the same TP question that has been thrown at you a million times, then why don't you take your slurs and run home. |

Stand by for another lecture on how everyone here will not blame congress or blame Republicans....he thinks this because he does not read and just wants to bait. Included in his response will be how he will answer no questions because..whatever the soup of the day might be. And of course, his shot at Tea Party for which he can supply no reason, I xcept they won't vote how he wishes them to. |

That is all you have to know about the Tea Party. The Constitution, that they always tout, states that the majority rules. They are not in the majority, but want to get their way on everything. If they don't get their way, they make it difficult, if not impossible, to get anything done. That is what the Tea Party is. They always want to take their ball, and go home. If we don't get our way, we are going to shut down the government. How many times have they threaten that.? |

"Even though nearly every politician, teacher, journalist and citizen believes that our Founders created a democracy, it is absolutely not true. The Founders knew full well the differences between a Republic and a Democracy. They repeatedly and emphatically said that they had founded a Republic. Article IV Section 4, of the Constitution "guarantees to every state in this union a Republican form of government".... Conversely, the word Democracy is not mentioned even once in the Constitution. Madison warned us of the dangers of democracies with these words, "Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths...", "We may define a republic to be ... a government which derives all its powers directly or indirectly from the great body of the people, and is administered by persons holding their offices during pleasure for a limited period, or during good behavior. It is essential to such a government that it be derived from the great body of the society, not from an inconsiderable proportion or a favored class of it; otherwise a handful of tyrannical nobles, exercising their oppressions by a delegation of their powers, might aspire to the rank of republicans and claim for their government the honorable title of republic." James Madison, Federalist No. 10, (1787) "A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men." Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)" Republic vs. Democracy " |
Tea Party members of congress were elected within their state and are subject to more voting based on what they do.
Tea Party members are voting how they vote because the people elected them to do just that. |

To you I want to say that I, personally am tired of you playing the poor soul. You keep harping and harping how the big bad Republicans on here do not give our President any credit. Have you read any of the threads on economics ? Have you heard much, you will find some, criticism of him in the arena of economics ? Basically, he is being criticized soundly for foreign affairs and his total lack of any statesmanship both national or international. Listen, grow up...HE IS THE PRESIDENT. When have you ever heard of a President not being criticized ? I am sick of the "oh poor me" attitude when he is criticized. I am tired of the bringing out all the nasty, silly phrases because he is criticized ? So please stop the oh poor me stuff......if you do not like the Tea Party and a strict interpetion of the constitution, then say so and explain why, but do not always use the backdrop of how unfair everyone is to the President. Discuss issues. I do not think, and I could be wrong, see your post on any of the threads concerning the Syria situation, the emergence of the group Black Lives Matter from the marxist roots, the bypassing of congress on a number of issues, the fact that no matter what we do in the USA, it has NO CHANCE of effecting anything at all relative to the environment. You harp on only one issue pretty much and we are faced with so many things in this country...if the Tea Party and a perception of the President being picked on are what you car about, you will not get a lot of traction on this or any other forum. |

Have I ever heard of a president being criticized? Of course, I have. Have you ever heard of a party writing a letter to an enemy leader telling him to ignore an agreement negotiated by six countries which we were one? The people that wrote the letter hadn't even seen the agreement. Open you bleepin eyes. You want to talk about Syria start here. John Kerry: Critics of Obama's Syria decision are 'dead wrong' - POLITICO The Republicans were not going to approve the red in drawn in the sand. Take a look at the foreign section of the Tea Party article from Wikipedia. They were against sending the military into Syria. They keep on criticizing Obama for not holding true on his red line in the sand. That is the height of hypocrisy. Concerning the article above, Kerry was grilled on Morning Joe by a female "W" press spokesman. He wasn't given a free ride on anything that he said. The questions concerning Syria were right on point. He also said that, if Assad keep his chemical weapons, ISIS would be in possession of them now. Working together with Russia got the chemical weapons out of there. Since that was the goal, what the hell is the problem? Obama bypassed Congress on immigration reform. The Senate approved bipartisan immigration bill, and not one that had several Republican votes, so it could be called bipartisan. The Hastert rule prevented Boehner from putting the bill on the floor for a vote. There was a general feeling that the bill would have passed. When it was clear that the House wasn't going to act, the president did. Take a look at the economics section of the Wikipedia report on the Tea Party. The Tea Party was against "W's" bailing out the big banks. Do they have any idea what would have happen, if he allowed the banks to fail? |

He just wanders all over the lot with little phrases. I am done with this guy. Only thing that I compliment is his passion about supporting this administration....love the passion, think he is mostly wrong however. |

I am all over the place. Maybe, because I take guilt by silence seriously. Trying to answer all the stupid questions thrown me has me all over the place, because it is impossible to tie anyone here down to one subject. As soon as you push them into a corner, they either disappear or change the subject. Have you ever noticed how many threads I have ended? Gandhi said the following, "First they ignore you, then they make fun of you, then they fight you, then you win". I am not patting myself on the back. I am laughing at you, because this really applies here. It would nice once just once someone here gave the president credit for something positive that has happened in the past 6+ years, but we know that is not going to happen. If you are talking about the passion, how about the passion of never giving Obama credit for anything! |

I have been here for the entire 6 1/2 years and he HAS gotten credit, especially regarding economical issues. This is the beginning of an election cycle and most of the posts concern his 1) leadership style and 2)foreign policy. You are simply looking for a way to pat him on the back and criticize anything that opposes him. And yes, I think everyone notices how you shut down threads, but not for the reason you think. |
Quote:
At any rate, since you still don't know anything about the Tea Party, you might want to use Google and study up a bit. You look the fool when you get on here attempting to bait and challenge when you know nothing but what some loser has told you. Goodbye and have a great day at school. Be careful using the boy's room, that you don't get bullied out of your lunch money. |
" Have you ever noticed how many threads I have ended?"
Yes we have. Stink does have a tendency to clear a room. |

Please the Republican Party is going to blow such an opportunity if the do not get off this guys bandwagon. You complain about the guy in the WH for pandering....that is exactly what Trump is doing. He would be great in a bar room conversation, where facts are less important than mouth. |

However, with pretty much total certainty I feel comfortable telling you that you surely do not want him as your President, and since you see things in a religious scene, please, please do some reading. Trump is selling...that is what he does. YOU are being sold ! |

He wants Socialized medicine. == Liberal/socialist He wants to completely stop taxing anyone making less than $50K and tax the rich more == Buying 50% of the voters, like liberals do with their handouts. If you dig into some of the things he has said in the past, and who he associates with, you will see that he has more in common with Democrats than Republicans. We have a lot of better choices on the Republican side. We don't need someone that we can't trust 100%. Why take the chance with him? He is nothing more than a loud horn, loud obnoxious noise. |

Ultimately the primary voters will decide whether they want Trump or not. It is up to the other candidates to provide a better message. I generally prefer not to tell people who they want as President. Trump has apparently hit a nerve with people as he is polling well. Once the first primaries roll around we will see where everyone actually stands.

"The Latin American left has had some success during the past decade limiting the ravages of neoliberal capitalism. In contrast, European social democracy and its distant cousin, United States liberalism, have mostly adopted a “third way” that has cut back on labor rights, deregulated finance, and curtailed public provision. The austerity politics of both the right and the moderate left have forced ordinary people to bear the costs of the global economic crisis rather than the irresponsible corporate elites who caused it. But grassroots resistance to austerity has spread, beginning with the Spanish indignados and the Occupy movement in the United States. Podemos in Spain and Syriza in Greece are electoral expressions of this new left. And now in the United States, the most anti-socialist of capitalist societies, an explicit democratic socialist, Senator Bernie Sanders (a political independent from the small rural state of Vermont) has emerged as the major challenger to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. The source of the above.... DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST OF AMERICA The Sanders Campaign and the Revival of Socialism in the United States - Democratic Socialists of America |

Trump will not parrot the GOP establishment line ... hmm, is that a bad thing? |
I just visited the COMMUNIST PARTY OF AMERICA website...
Home » cpusa Interesting on the side of the front page is a link to GET INVOLVED. If you click on it and see all the issues they are strongly involved in, it actually looks like the platform of the new Democratic party. |

from their FAQ on the website: "...In contrast, Communists seek to change society peacefully. We work to expand every democratic and electoral avenue as part of our fight for working class political and economic power." The communist party has killed untold tens of millions in Russia and Chinas alone ... probably close to 100 million. But, hey, no violence ... my a** |
