not everyone shares your worldview, some are principled, and would prefer not to receive handouts. You cannot tell them what is against their own interests. They have certain things they care about more than what you would assume on their behalf.
Why no one takes the TEA Party seriously.

Right here Mott...
Those two options are polar opposites Mott. You cannot be promoting fascism at the same time as promoting a smaller government (unless of course, the current government is already fascist).

Tell m again how the problem wasn't the government? I agree that it was about 'representation,' at least for most, bit don't forget the Whiskey Rebellion that Washington faced pretty early. Yes, he handled it, but for some reason there's always mixed messages and motives on all sides.

Tea Is The New Kool-Aid
The Right Wing "Tea Party" tries to scream the national debt is because of the Left after cutting taxes for years and years below the spending rate. This is NOT Conservative but only pushes the spending to our children. The Left Wing GENERALLY tries to pay for the spending.
The Tea Party Right generally tries to BUY VOTES with less taxation even when it's less than actual spending. Tea Party "relief" is the general term for selling your car title for money.
The Left openly and with proof tries to pay for the spending that BOTH parties approve.
Fake Conservatives only recently learned they were the problem and created a new party to ensure they weren't the ones responsible for these debts, and this will make them born again "Conservatives".

Today's problem is everyone wants something for nothing.......Basic slavery all over again, little pay for hard work.

lol......for both parties to "approve" there has to be a vote on it BEFORE its spent.......you do realize why we don't have a budget after five straight years, right?......because Obama doesn't dare have a budget that BOTH parties approved......

see how they dupe these fools.
they don't even know the most basic history correctly.
"No Taxation without representation"
they just swallow whatever the right wing masters say and deny all history and proven facts to do it.
Glen Beck to them is a better source than our own history.
stupid is as stupid does

No they don't you insane asshole.
Boner could pass something in the house without the majority of republicans by reaching acrossed the isle.
soon you party will be a minority because they have done nothing to help this country and are trying to kill it out right like Grover ordered them to do.
Tea party then against tyranny
Tea party now against big government.
That's all you need to know. So stop with the history test and useless semantics to prove otherwise.

Against big govt? are they against our large military? I don't think so. Are they against the large prison system? I don't think so.
They are against having rich people accountable to the govt. And they are against helping anyone but themselves (i.e they are NOT against social security and medicare, since so many of them collect it)

By the way, the proper response when you get your history wrong is to say "oops, sorry" not to say that what you said didn't matter.
Another brain dead argument from Anti-Thinker; tax cuts never caused a deficit you moron. Spending MORE than you take in causes deficits.
I am amused by the Anti-Thinking leftist sheeple who voted for an inept, inexperienced, c,ueless community organizer and almost five years later find a new image to blame for the malaise caused by this President and his Administration, it has moved from "it's all Bush's fault" to the new moronic camor against the "tea party."
If you think raising taxes is the panacea to massive Big Government, you just might be an idiot, if you think letting people keep more of what they earn is a really bad idea, you just might be a moron.
Brain dead sheeple think that Republicans are the problem because they have the intelligence of a lemming; the only thing that has kept the economy from going over the cliff has been the Republicans you dumbasses. If not for them, we would be in an additional $550 billion in debt and seeing even more layoffs in the public and private sector.
We don't need Government to do more; that is why we are in the mess we are in. We need it to do LESS and get the "F" out of the way. But alas, brain dead sheeple would rather follow the pied Obama over the fiscal cliff like good little non-thinking little lemmings and rant about them bad Tea Partiers.
What a bunch of empty headed buffoons.
How entertaining to watch a kool aid swilling empty headed leftist tell is what our founders wanted.
The founders believed in a small LIMITED Government and deliberately designed it so that it would be difficult to pass legislation and have one party power by separating those powers.
Clueless empty headed hyper partisan leftist ingrates like you still don't get it. Your much better at uttering ignorant vulgar insults than you ate at trying to have a rational thought. Now run along and let the adults have a debate without you trying to drag the thread IQ down to your low life level.
Idiot.
Dear clueless moron; please grow a brain and stop spamming the bread with your buffoonery desperately trying to remove all doubt what an incredible moron you are.
Please provide some historic data where tax cuts caused revenue to decrease.
Carry on asshat.
