Must See: The Other 95%... Obama Supporters Crash Tea Party !!!


Tired of the Tea Party?

How is it that the angry and scared members of the radical fringe dominate the news cycle every night?

They scream about deficits and "outrageous taxes." Where were they when 3/4ths of our 10 trillion dollar debt was created by George W. Bush?

Meanwhile our country faces critical challenges in our infrastructure, education, economy and overall quality of life.

Taxes and government are an essential part of all of these. The answer isn't "big government" but effective government. And it's essential that we all pay our fair share. (This means citizens and corporations alike).

We are aware that government, like any big business, can involve corruption, but we also know that our government is just us - of, by and for The People.

Come join the growing movement to set the record straight and stand up for our country and our future!

2. You never see them marching on Blue Cross Blue Shield
when they arbitrarily raise duties (er..."premiums") on their maybe-we'll-cover-you-if-you-need-us insurance. They don't seem to mind one bit that every utility and business steals immense amounts of customer time running them around automated telephone instructions. The only entities they don't seem to mind having pick their pockets are the ones they have no say or vote with. . .interesting, isn't it?

Conservatives cannot stand the notion that any American taxpayer gets any kind of return on our money in services. Of course, they don't mind sending that money to disappear in the Iraqi desert.

5. Lol, that's a good one! It reminds me of the rally
at the Capitol Bldg when two protesters against Government programs collapsed and they were taken care of by Government employees. I hope someone kept the photos of that event. It was priceless, and I didn't see anyone refuse the service.

So the tea-baggers don't clean up their own mess? Just like the party they belong to! :rofl:
