    Default Why Does the Left Hate the Tea Parties and Those Who Attended Them

    Pick a reason.

    1) They don't like it when conservatives start a grass roots movement because they are the ones that are supposed to get grass root support.

    2) They don't like conservatives period.

    3) The message is lower taxes and that is evil.

    4) They don't have control over those people yet.

    5) Those people are not in line with the new way of thinking.

    6) Right-Wing Extremism is supposed to be illegal.

    Did I leave anything out?

    Also MSNBC and CNN are using the erotic term "tea baggers" in reference to the folks that attended the grass roots rallys across the nation on Tuesday.

    I will not go into what the term means, and just leave it there. No doubt most know what these sleeze bags on CNN and MSNBC meant.

    Also the reference to calling this grass roots rally "astro turf by those networks is just more name calling.

    If you look on Drudge, you'll see the size audiences that watched the news on Tuesday, and Fox "Slam dunked" CNN and MSNBC. American news watchers were very, much interested in this ground swell of anger and concern about where our country is going.

    So a bunch of idiots decide that now is the time for tea parties? And what the hell is a tea bagger, a old lady that reuses tea bags for frugality? That is no insult! Call me a tea bagger as I can't afford much with this left over prosperity Bush gave us.

    google it, it's a nasty term.

    Also your right Bush did start the out of control spending with the "stimulus" and the bailouts. Unfortunately Obama, who ran on a platform of change and accountability, isn't keepin up his side of the bargain. Since he got into office he has pushed through 2 more stimuluses.

    Our children and grandchildren are going to be the ones paying for it.

    This country is so far into debt that we couldn't join the EU even if we wanted to because we have TO MUCH DEBT. What this country and it's people need is to stop uncontrolled spending.

    That's what these tea parties are about and that's why I'm going tomorrow.

    Where I am it is called a hummer. I still don't care if the goofy people want to make a mockery of real history to push their agenda. I can't say as there are that many who will be facing an increase in income tax who stand in the crowds at these get togethers.

    Even if true, doesn't mean their kids/grandkids/great grandkids wouldn't be saddled with this debt. Some people see beyond their avatar's nose.

    As I have grand children that are almost of age for parenthood I am more concerned about the conservatives desperate drive to destroy America than with debt at this time. Inflated money pays recessive debt very easily. Having no country with a debt is a problem that is a bit more problematic!

    You don't think these policies and programs are going to lead to inflation? That is not a conservative position. It certainly describes the last year of Bush and the first close to 100 days of Obama.

    There are possibilities of inflation. But remember that inflated money pays off debt easier than recession money.

    The adage about getting "older and wiser" is just so many meaningless words now....your the exception to the rule....
    you can't even grasp the fact that the debt and creeping socialism is what will destroy this nation in a very real sense...and literally destroy this nation as we know it...

    its frightening that your allowed to vote....

    taking a guess at bad parenting and worse grandparenting. I could be wrong.
