Let’s Fake A Deal

In the end, we got a terrible economic deal, but a nice political gift. Congress essentially kicked the problem down the road and ensured that early January would mark the beginning of other round of hostage-taking on the part of the right, more attacks on the health care law, and an intransigence on raising revenue… Continue reading Let’s Fake A Deal

Meltdown

I’ve used the tsunami wave metaphor in other posts about the decline of the Republican Party and  its associated havoc-wreaking on the country over the past two years. Today we talk about the complete meltdown of the party. The debacle over the debt ceiling and the as-we-speak collapse of any kind of deal shows us… Continue reading Meltdown

Orange Alert

Here’s a surprise: the shutdown was planned months ago. So the pleadings and forthright looks we’ve been getting from Ted Cruz and the orange-tinged scoldings from John Boehner and the laments of the lack of compromise by Republicans everywhere have been fakes. Falsehoods. Frauds. Wait for it…Lies. What the Republican Cadre, because it’s no longer… Continue reading Orange Alert

Teaparty “Jokes” About President Obama Being Beaten

I came across this today on ThinkProgress. It is an email being circulated to members of a Teaparty group in Pennsylvania called Northeast Pennsylvania Spirit of 1776. They call it a “joke” as usual, and this email follows the pattern of other so-called “jokes” by other Republicans and Teaparty members. The writers of the email called “Our… Continue reading Teaparty “Jokes” About President Obama Being Beaten

More Teaparty/Republican Racism – African Americans and Welfare

They call themselves members of the Teaparty. The group believes that they are paying too much taxes and that government spending is out of control.  The group stayed quiet when George Bush took a surplus and turned it into a deficit. Their silence showed that the Teaparty is not really a trustworthy bunch, but more of a political… Continue reading More Teaparty/Republican Racism – African Americans and Welfare

Teaparty Racism – Depicting President Obama As A Skunk

We’ve shown you previous examples where the Teaparty and some Republicans have stepped out of their secretive shell and have decided that bringing their racism out into the spotlight, will rally others to their call. Today’s example? A Teaparty organization in Hutchinson Kansas called Patriot Freedom Alliance. This group of “patriots” decided that comparing the President… Continue reading Teaparty Racism – Depicting President Obama As A Skunk

Colin Powell – The Teaparty’s Position Is Not Helping America

Colin Powell, the Secretary of State during the Bush administration and one of the only sane Republicans remaining in America, has some advise for his fellow Americans -do not vote for anyone representing the Teaparty! “The Tea Party point of view of ‘no compromise whatsoever’ is not a point of view that will eventually produce… Continue reading Colin Powell – The Teaparty’s Position Is Not Helping America

Teaparty Advise To Businesses – Hurt Obama, Don’t Hire Anyone

And they call themselves “Patriots” HA! In a message to the business community, the group known as The Teaparty Nation sent out word, advising them to stop hiring new employees. The reason given in the message is, of course, the Obama Administration. According to the author, President Obama is a “dictator” with a “globalist socialist… Continue reading Teaparty Advise To Businesses – Hurt Obama, Don’t Hire Anyone

For The Teaparty, Happy Days Are Here Again!

Although the Republicans took over control of the House of Representatives in November and demanded an almost $1 trillion increase to the deficit to provide a tax cut to the rich, a recent poll suggests that the-government-is-spending-too-much-we-must-reduce-the-deficit Teaparty is now happier than ever before. The poll, conducted by Pew Research Center finds that fewer people are… Continue reading For The Teaparty, Happy Days Are Here Again!
