Racial Slur of the Week
Mr. Obama is at it again. Only last week we learned that we're all too fearful and stupid to understand evidence and argument and science, and that we're going to be engaged in "hand to hand combat" with Democrats after the election. But Mr. Obama redeemed himself on Monday by inviting Republicans along on the Obama Magic Bus, with one proviso: We have to ride in the back.
Hope, change, progress, lunatic racial slurs...it's a brave new world.

"inviting Republicans along on the Obama Magic Bus, with one proviso: We have to ride in the back."
What he actually said:
As he does frequently, Obama compared the economy to taking over a car that veered into a ditch. As Democrats have tried to push the car out of the ditch, Republicans, he said, were “fanning themselves, sippin’ on a Slurpee” and kicking dirt in their faces.
“Now we get the Republicans tapping us on the shoulder, saying ‘We want the keys back,’” Obama said to cheers. “You can’t have the key back — you don’t know how to drive,” Obama said to hoots, hollers and hurrahs. “You can ride with us if you want, but you’ve got to sit in the backseat. We’re going to put middle-class America in the front seat.”
-nice work

We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.“
The quote CY was referring to, Halleck.

Republican fee fees should get to ride up front so they can jerk the wheel and steer the car back into the ditch.
Good plan.

First, I saw the speech. He definitely made a statement that could be construed as a racial slur.
Next, you seem to be confused. The issue is no longer Republican versus Democrat. To make a reference to the Republican party in the manner that you did shows that you have no understanding of the issues and the principals. Both the Dems and Rep. are really the same party. People have come to realize this and thus the birth of the Tea Party. The correct concept would be conservative vs liberal/Communist/progressive. We feel that both parites are responsible for the mess that we are in. Your next statement will likely be something to do with Bush. Before you get there let me reassure you that Bush was not a conservative. The only thing Bush had going for him was that he was not Gore or Kerry (thank God). But Bush was just as much a progressive as any of the other nuts in DC.
The intent of the conservatives is to elect anyone that will forward our agenda. Currently the Republicans seem to have some of our agenda on their platform. But many of them will have to go as they are Bush clones. Also, I don't think you understand that this is not a little game of my party won or is better than yours. People that I know are getting to the point that they want to bring out the guns. If we don't get change soon, then expect a violent reaction.

As for your mall ninja shtick, nothing would lend the tea party more credibility than violence.

Neither political party exsists for the good of the people as a whole, but rather they exsist only to perpetuate themselves. The Republicans and Democrats purposefully keep us divided and polarized in order to control us and plunder our beloved nation. They each paint the supporters of the "other party" as lazy or greedy, meanwhile they increase their power and the country's deficit.
No sane person wants violence. Americans are a peaceable people and we want nothing more than the freedoms our Declaration of Independance and Constitution promise. But a growing number of Americans feel that the ballot box is failing us. They feel helpless against the political machine, and think that our options are running thin.
The TEA party may be our last peaceable option. The TEA party supporters seek to hold ALL politicians accountable to the people - upper, lower and middle class. Right now it supports mainly Republicans because the majority of incumbants are Democrats, but its message to Republicans is, "you're on thin ice".
If the TEA party fails in its original goals by being marginalized by the Democrat party OR hijacked by the Republican party, then the whole political system has failed. Then what option does a peaceable people have left?

Don't get upset by those guys. It is the end of the first 9 weeks of school and when the kids finish studying, they seem to seek out this blog. Just a bunch of immature high school kids trying to get a something going.
