Backing the Tea-Parties into a corner>>> |
|
Question for the Tea-baggers: re the WV Mining disaster.
Do you stand with the miners? (i.e " the people") with the real need for workplace REGULATIONS and better working conditions and pay?
OR,
Do you stand with the the giant Mining Conglomerate and their negligent Tea-bagger CEO-who cares way more about profits then his workers?
What would be their response? Who would they choose?
AFAIC, if they side with the CEO they can forget all this "WE the People" crap. (i.e "So, the 29 dead miners are OK with you?")
I'd love to back a real Tea-bagger into a corner with this choice!!
Make them choose between their giant corporate Monopolies, or health and well being of the working miners.
What do you think they'd say? Have any of them spoken on this?

1. Your premise is flawed |

You're assuming they can look at two sides of an issue, think about it, and make an informed opinion based on those thoughts.
Giving them way too much credit, if you ask me. ;)
My guess, they'll respond by asking you why you hate America.
*on edit* in all seriousness though, I think this is a grand idea. Indeed, this method is likely the ONLY way to reach them, even if it doesn't convert. :toast:

2. You'd just see heads exploding. |

Then someone would have to clean up their mess.

When has the TP movement ever criticized: - Enron (fraudsters, CEO had ties with GW Bush) - Blackwater (security guards killed innocent Iraqi civilians) - corrupt charter school EOMs - zombie banks
?
