I have no idea what you mean by yes and no in this instance, but from my knowledge of the tea-party, they are just a very reactionary group who espouse a completely neo-liberal economic philosophy. I have no time for them whatsoever.

Gee John....I did not see a burning cross at the Beck's Restore Honor rally in Washington. But with 300,000 in attendance, I might have missed something.
Beck ask them not bring signs. They did not bring signs.
Even Rev Sharpton said that his MLK and Beck function were both peaceful.
Though President Obama did say....after hearing that there were 300,000 there....
"I can understand how Glenn Beck can stir a group of 300,000 into meeting for a rally.'
ttom500: Now Freddy.....be nice......with the hard things that Obama has faced. We need to be simpothetic here. Close your eyes and do this mantra with me.....

Feel better?
By the way they just remodeled a room in the White House......from the basic historic design of the White House to ultra modern, rumor has it. Cost unknown. Colors unknown. But is said to be President Obama favorite.
jvaski: No, It's more of a dislike for the concept that ignorant people want to drag this country back through the dirt even more with their a**hole archaic republican approach to government - which has a proven record of utter disasterous failure !
Burns you up,doesn't it? But why should it,since in your own words it has no Future?

They showed the remodel job last night on tv. The pictures of Stalin, Castro and Rev. Wright really enhanced the walls.

moonmana1: With the Obama administration ?leading? the government, and the bailouts, and the failure to help business create jobs with incentives. I get to ask jv also............ Found a job yet?
What's the matter blain, afraid you might not get the results you were looking for so you hedge your bet by putting "stuck on higher Taxes" after the American NO vote?
The tea "party" is not even a legal party just a ragtag bunch of complaining malcontents.

amahlala: Besides Conrads' link; can someone please explain the Tea Party Movement to me? Little words please, sometimes the big ones get difficult.....
That's true. The best analogy today is these people can be compared to "Soccer Hooligans". The orig Tea Party story is a case of revisionist history.
"Governor Hutchinson refused to grant permission for the Dartmouth to leave without paying the duty. Two more tea ships, the Eleanor and the Beaver, arrived in Boston Harbor. On December 16, 1773—the last day of the Dartmouth's deadline—about 7,000 people had gathered around the Old South Meeting House. After receiving a report that Governor Hutchinson had again refused to let the ships leave, Adams announced that "This meeting can do nothing further to save the country." According to a popular story, Adams's statement was a prearranged signal for the "tea party" to begin. However, this claim did not appear in print until nearly a century after the event, in a biography of Adams written by his great-grandson, who apparently misinterpreted the evidence.[56] According to eyewitness accounts, people did not leave the meeting until ten or fifteen minutes after Adams's alleged "signal", and Adams in fact tried to stop people from leaving because the meeting was not yet over.
Destruction of the tea
While Samuel Adams tried to reassert control of the meeting, people poured out of the Old South Meeting House and headed to Boston Harbor. That evening, a group of 30 to 130 men, some of them thinly disguised as Mohawk Indians, boarded the three vessels and, over the course of three hours, dumped all 342 chests of tea into the water. So conrad, these are the people and acts you would support? Mob rule?
jvaski: Yea, the thought that people would want more of the same that got us here really ticks some of us off ......
Well since it's true, maybe you should re-think YOUR position?
"Right on the heels of a poll giving the Republicans a 10-point edge on this year's "generic" congressional ballot, a USA Today/Gallup poll says that Americans believe Republicans on Capitol Hill would do a better job on seven of nine key election issues.
The issues on which Republicans enjoy their biggest margins are on terrorism, immigration, federal spending and the economy, according to the poll conducted Aug. 27-30. The Democrats prevail only on health care (and that's by a statistically insignificant difference) and the environment (the margin of error for this poll is 4 points)."

I'm beginning to think the idea of one more Republican regime will be good ...........it'll completely clear up any mis-conceptions anyone has with just how lousy their policies are..........

Only problem is it's going to take ALOT longer to recover from Obama's bungling and his huge pork belly expenditures
jvaski: Spending that was necessary to keep us out of a "Depression" caused by Bush and Cheney ?
Uh huh....like the fact that a third of the spending went to "stimulating" special interest pork belly entitlement programs which contributed nothing to the economy?

Like the fact that there wasn't any of that going on through every administration - but on a much larger scale ??
