    Actually, that was all original. There are folks online, such as myself, capable of putting forth posts with a searing wit.

    Just taking the opportunity to correct you regarding TEA party members. Of course they seem mindless, many on the left consider individual responsibility an mindless effort for any individual, so insult understood. The silent majority has been the ones paying their taxes and WORKING, really too busy to take the time to actually protest in the streets, however you would be impressed, we are finding our voice as well as ability to influence legislation regarding the citizens of this country.

    You really should take notice that the debt ceiling hasn't/won't be raised without serious cuts in spending. Also note there will be no tax increases on the citizens without these cuts. I don't think that was original intent of the Dems nor the Repubs prior to the CIC spending spree. Tea party members around the country are still watching your back and also for the future of your children, while being demeaned by your ilk.

    We aren't mindless, nor stupid: we won't be silent again regarding our freedoms. Look for us coming to a legislature near you soon!

    The **********s are more militant and claim to be against the corp's relationship with the party; though there appears to be no evidence of real distain for that relationship . . . The **********s are also holier than thou with respect to "true patriotism"; i.e. "Real Americans".

    The **********s are a true faction and have devided the Republicans, which only serves the Democratic cause.

    When individuals are capable of speaking in respectful dialog civil debates can take place. Attempts to demean those who disagree only proves your inability to participate in intelligent debates.

    T-party is a corporate guided goup of followers who buy into propaganda that is far more right than rational Republicans ideas. They are a movement for the disgrunted republican who like conflict and gets excited at the opportunity to regurgitate political banter and conservative catch phrases without knowing the full content of what they are arguing about.

    The Corporations and Broadcast media manipulate them easy by telling them propaganda that their freedoms and liberties will be taken away if they do not follow their politician. Much like what religous dictarors do to them in church.

    The T-party thinks in simple one dimentional terms and are mostly WASP who follow the Catholic and Cristian ideas of obey and follow. They only know all or none type answers. They often are fearfull and feel a sense of self righteousness when associated with a large group of others who are simple as well.

    The Corporation Media and the politicians know all this about the T-party and exploit them for amost no money in bribes. It is one of the simplest and cheapest political parties to identify and manipulate.

    Yes, we should be more like Dems, and the old crony Repubs. However we want more left to our future generations. Not all of us are out for just ourselves. Tea party members are more informed concerning government than many liberals, we are able to have civil debates without stooping to deragatory terms to make a point. Sometimes simplicity is required in governing 300 million people, Dems never seem to understand that.

    I'm in no vavor of dems or reps. But the cost of motivating the simple is basically free. I agree, we can't all fix simple, and that is why we cater to them. But as far as the T-party being cheap to mainpulate and motivate, this is what i'm talking about. I rest my case.

    LOL, It is very hard to get conservatives to protest, LOL... this is what blew everyones mind when we did! It may seem we have been easy to manipulate in a past tense, most likely because we always assumed that America would always be the place where freedom resides. However as stated before, we had a very rude awaking from our new President, to the point of bankrupting our country, to stifling any economical growth. Demonizing citizens from all walks of life, fellow countrymen who simply disagreed with his idealogy. This produced the ground swell of the TEA party. From my fellow TEA party members, we vow to never sleep again regarding America and the responsibility of the citizens to control the government.

    We weren't hynotized with HOPE AND CHANGE, we left that to your side of the table

    There was nothing disrespectful in my reply: "**********s" is a valid label used by those who vehmenetly disagree with the right-wing agenda. The **********s are a faction in the strictest sense of the word, and they provide nothing positive for this country in any effect.

    Again showing your inability to speak intelligently, surely you are aware that the term used is a deragatory term. I'm presuming you have an educational background.

    Maybe from your side of the table those who oppose government over spending, and over reaching have nothing positive to contribute to the nation, so we disagree.

    America is a very diverse populace, it would be extremely easy if everyone agreed, however thankfully our forefathers saw a much better way.

    TEA party members are your neighbors, family and coworkers, do you REALLY believe they are unnecessary, I think they strike the perfect balance in an imperfect world!

    Again; you've missed the point. I speak of them in the pejorative with repsect to the value of the whole: none. Individually they may be nice people: and please do not forget that liberals and non-partisans (like myself) are very close to you as well; however, as a group the **********s are a very convoluted group representing an even stranger platform: of what no one can seem to tell. They back people who demonstrably have no idea what they're talking about; I cite Bachman and Palin as glaring examples.

    "The Tea party"; to date, has offered nothing reasonable or valuable to this country with respect to solutions or clear definitions of real problems: "citing goernment spending" is a throw away talking point and simply diversionary. The **********s fill the media with useless information and have such a blury perspective that they are indeed just another obstructionist faction.

    If you can define them and present a cohesive and demonstrable credit that they serve; other than "the American ideal of opposition", then I'll certainly be glad to hear it and reply in kind. Just saying that they offere something positive does not a convincing arguent make. Therefore I stand by my studied opinion and characterization of them.

    Then who are libertarians? Are the party of the left libertarians? A leftist government like that of Hugo Chavez is libertarian?
