A humble suggestion about talking to Teabaggers

[MrScorpio]

I originally posted this in another thread last month. I received no replies, so I'm unsure if anyone else is gave it any merit.

Since talking to the Teabaggerati is still such a popular past time amongst a few of us, I feel impelled to start up my own OP with my original proposal. I never come across any teabaggers, so I've not had a chance to test my own advice.

But if any of you are willing to give it a shot, have at it… So here it goes:

No, No, No… You're doing this ALL wrong

You need to address the issue in terms that they'll understand, since their willful ignorance prevents them from making ANY sense of what you're trying to tell them.

After Mr. Teabaggerati pointed out to you that his desire to spend his hard earned money was contingent upon his choice, you should have told him that you wished that YOU YOURSELF were in the health insurance business and had ready access to lots of "unforced" cash just like his.

You'd gladly take his premium payment… Gleefully, as a matter of fact. You'd be rolling in the dough and would able to buy your spouse and kids that nice big house, fancy cars and lots of vacations to exotic locations.

You'd give yourself a nice fat raise, because you love lots of other people's money, just like the health insurance executives today.

You'd invest in the health insurance companies on the Stock Market, because they're REALLY, REALLY profitable, even is this time of short cash for everyone else. They are because they deny lots of claims or pay very little money for them.

And when it came time for your friend to file a claim, you'll gladly DENY IT. Why? Because you'd tell him that you were smart enough to put in the policy that HE voluntarily signed a provision, in teeny-tiny little letters, that said you could. Either that, or just pay him a pittance.

You would do all of this because he was willing to give his money to a greedy crook like you and you wouldn't give a damn, because you're too busy lying on an exotic beach somewhere. And why should you worry at all? As a matter of fact, you would sleep well at night because you knew that are a lot of people who are ready, willing and able to allow you to steal their money and keep you ass deep in fancy shit.

If he wants to sue, go right ahead. With all of his money and the willfully volunteered money of people just like him, you'd be able to hire all the best lawyers that money can buy…

And you should top it off by telling him that he's a great American… Because of with lots and lots of other good American lovers of Capitalism just like him, you could be very filthy rich…. Forever.

THAT'S how you talk to a Teabagger.

Thanks for allowing me to take up some of your precious time.

1. I don't want to be in there idea of what buisness is.

Nor there idea of why they should have money.

I am due beer and travel money, why would I want to be part of what they are part of? It is already due.

And they will understand it some day.

:shrug:

Not going to say what someone wants to hear to get beer and travel money that is already due. That would not make sense either.

2. Won't work the teabagger will just tell you that is what he wants everyone to do

instead of using his tax dollars to pay your way through life. Remember tea baggers are in the same boat as you are in, they also lie about their importance as well as income, bottom line is the tea bagger believes only he pays taxes and only he should be able to get entitlements from those tax dollars. No matter what the tea bagger does for a living, he always worked harder then anyone else at the company, why if it wasn't for him the company would have folded and closed its doors. There is no reasoning with a tea bagger because their egos and self worth are way out of whack compared to reality.
