    The MSM does manage to reach a lot of people such as the libs we have around here.

    So any lie Obama puts out will be endlessly repeated by his loyal campaign workers in the lib news media.

    I think if liberals were willing to end all the free lunches in the federal budget to private companies and individuals Issa would be one of the first to agree.

    That's a good way to put it.

    Obama throwing taxpayer dollars off the roof of the White House and so far only his friends and political contributors are there to pick it up.

    That's as liberal as you can get.

    But if Obama would stop playing venture capitalist Issa's district would not get any of wasted money either.

    The press is only the enemy when you don't have the goods to engage them.

    IS that why we see so few libeals on Fox News?

    another offered to use his big orange bat on those that disagree with him.

    Sounds less dangerous than the liberal who threatened to rape a Chicago elected official's wife if he didn't get in line.

    We can adopt them together.

    Just pass a bipartisan bill that ends all the government giveaways.

    It's sometimes just a matter of putting things into perspective.

    As a working example:

    Your wife is a secretary, is pretty good at it, from filing to registry and all things admin etc. If she did that work, as a private sector job, contractually on a government workings...she could maybe get $25-40 an hour or some such amount.

    With even less than that amount, she could have an exceptional benefits package self paid, and, she could also work out her own pension package.

    Taking that example, and bringing it further out into many more governmental (high wage, benefits, pension) jobs that exist, that could easily be subcontracted out to the private sector, and you have enormous savings to the taxpayers monies.

    Above, is the reality social democracies, and some republics, on the planet have been awoken to. If you even follow subcontracted out jobs from the government in your local community, you will see a good number of jobs are no longer "government employees" since it is unsustainable.

    Further to that, is the voting block power of those "federal employees" to keep their unsustainable gravy train chugging along, and governments were trapped into the fear of reprisals from their employees, and grew the government bigger and capitulated to that fear of their own political shelf life.

    Until recently that is, when there has been no other option than to cut massive government benefits/pensions etc. Many of them are only now doing the right thing so to speak, despite ruining their political shelf life.

    The TEA Party you so hate, have forced this awareness on all sides of the aisle, and, they are roundly hated and maligned for it, but they bear that, as consciencious citizens of a country they care more deeply about than most people ever will.

    Think about this. The TEA Party is taking the hit upon themselves, for what every "party politician" across all civilzed nations, has had to absorb the brunt of themselves regarding balancing budgets, small government, and austerity measures.

    The TEA Party does want to cut the military. You have obviously never been to an event. The TEA Party knows there are bases we can close, redundant weapons programs, and weapon platforms that should be abandoned. We know this because many military members are in the TEA Party.

    By the way... YOU LOST the debate via GODWIN'S LAW.

    Find me one economist that says this would be a good idea for the average USA citizen.

    Wich I never claimed, perhaps read a bit better?

    They did cave and agreed to cut.

    So if the republicans had blocked and way to avoid default it would have been democrats fault?

    Whatever happened to taking responsability for your actions? What is this whining its the democrats fault on your own actions?

    Sure

    "The tea party is so hell-bent on getting America's finances in order, they're willing to suffer the personal consequences of a government default. That's according to leaders of the Tea Party Patriots, who spoke with reporters in Washington this morning as the city remains gripped in debt ceiling stalemate."

    You mean increase in intrest rates until you are unable to afford borrowing?

    USA intrest are DOWN, historical low actually.

    What the Tea Party critics do not tell their readers is that the Tea Party could not shut down the government.

    Only the big spenders in Washington who have a majority of votes in Congress could do that.

    The Tea Party can insist on reduced government spending but they can't close the government.


    I don't see how you could think that reducing our budget deficit would make interest rates go up.

    Reducing the budget deficit will have no affect on interest rates.

    But what the big spenders in Washington don't tell you is that someday the historically low rates we have now will go up someday.

    And when rates go up the cost to America will go up too.

    So the less we borrow now the better off we will be in the future.

    Addendum; (or the time limit expired as I edited and attempted to post only to be notified by an DATA BASE ERROR one of many on the site causing me to have to reboot PF, losing the entire reply and of course the restrictive 20min non-generous time limit as I said expired)

    As far as the tea party is concerned I like much of what they say and most of the platform they champion. Ron Paul has some fantastic ideas but some of his ideas are at least as far out as the most far out tea party suggestions. Any group will have it’s radical members, however MSNBC type propaganda has tainted the tea party and attacked the tea partiers so successfully, that most people really think they are a bunch of trigger happy, violent, uneducated trailer trash freaks. Even you used a derogatory term that is homophobic or at least anti homosexual created in the bowels of some liberal black ops think tank.

    I think the tea party was orginally hated by the leftist media because it was somewhat southern, somewhat Christian, right wing, and loud and successful, all things that the worst liberal activists fear in a candidate or group. It did not help when a widely publicized poll claimed that Tea Party Backers Wealthier and More Educated, a poll by the NY Times no less!

    Poll Finds Tea Party Backers Wealthier and More Educated ...
    Apr 14, 2010 ... Tea Party supporters are wealthier and more well-educated than the general
    public and tend to be Republican, white, male and married, ...

    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/15/us/politics/15poll.html

    So much for the dumb country bumpkin stereotype. Maybe the tea party people have a debasing stereotype of the libs ? Nevertheless I am an independent voter. I vote the issues, and kick propaganda and emotional issues to the curb when making a decision of who to vote for etc.

    The only people that can shut down government are already in office, Obama and crew, by bankrupting our nation! Throw a trillion here, a hundred billion there, stimulate the un-stimulateable’ with borrowed money now gone, with less jobs than ever. I never liked Obama too much for other issues, however he did have some good ideas, but he abandoned his base and those good ideas with them~

    It sure could reduce the interest rates! Think about it. If we are in better shape our credit rating is better and those that lend us money does so at a lower rate which gets passed on to the consumers (hopefully).

    Yes that is a good tea party line :omg:

    As a conservative for years, I am beyond envy for what the TEA Partiers have created in America. Year after year, seeing organized public and private unions having the power of block voting as a staple...a given...while conservatives had no organizational staples or givens of block voting.

    The imbalance has been balanced. This is enormous in the realms of organized voting block power dynamics. 2010 Nov showed just how much this dynamic has impact.

    Democrats/Liberals/Progressives smeared with everything they had, and then some, because those in the know, saw exactly that this voting dynamic, previously and exclusively theirs, was being grown right before their eyes.
