If these people really believe this they are insane!

Just awful, plain awful.

Start em young, eh?

Note: Its really sad the way these radical racists are behaving. They are a discrace to this country and are only mad because we have a black president. Where was all this "anger" when Bush was in office destroying this country? I could respect them more if they had a credible thought provoking cause but everything they say and do is just plain crazy. SMH

Their lips are sealed when Bush had tax giveaways to billionaires, and started a billion dollar war we should never have gotton into.

Former congressman Dick Armey who is a lapdog for the corporate/industrial/military machine is behind the tea party with Freedomworks. Like Rueben Goosens, David Koresh, and Jim Jones they have slick PR and advertizing campaigns that play to the emotions of the angry white person who, lost their job to India [not realizing TP sent their job there], wants to pay no taxes, afraid of minorities, cling to religion while not understanding a changing world, and is on the edge of life.

They are given false acceptance, easy slogan answers, and hollow promises. They get high by scapegoating a big easy target. Punishment and ostracism is for dissent and soon you have 20 highjackers flying airplanes into office buildings.

As for Clinton, Bush and now Obama-they have all had/have financial policies that are running the country into the ground. I actually thought Bush would be a one-termer based on the downward economic cycle of Clinton's last year and Bush's first term in office. 9/11 sealed the deal for Bush's 2nd term.

Bush was NEVER a fiscal conservative-far from it and he never pretended to be. As an example Bush's Medicare prescription drug plan pushed us closer to the edge and the latest healthcare plan sealed the deal. There simply is'nt enough tax revenue coming in to pay for constantly growing entitlement programs-even in the good times! We are spending something like $1.35 for every $1.00 the Feds take in in taxes and the entire house of cards is getting closer every day to falling.

Speaking of Bush's over-spending, I clearly remember hearing fiscal conservatives voice their concern about over-spending and they were always drowned out by Bush loyalists. There are actually fiscally responsible pols on both sides of the aisle-living in CA I've rarely seen a Democrat that was one but they do exist as seen w/Obama's fiscal commission appointee Erskine Bowles.

For a very scary look into the near future, just listen to Mr. Bowles speech from last week on the financial state of the country. We are basically fuc*** and President Obama's overspending like Bush's before him has just made the problem worse. The American public does not want to hear the necessary reality of severe entitlement cuts which are by far the largest portion of the Federal budget. We can either cut government spending by 25% or raise taxes by 25% and with this fragile economy, that is next to impossible. We needs politicians that will tell the American public the truth about our serious financial problems and what needs to be done but few are willing to do that. Most pols prefer to kick the can of financial restraint but we have now reached the end of the road!

The sign the kid is holding breaks my heart. I am a teacher and the one thing I tell my 3rd graders is that it is normal to disagree with people. It is normal not to even like certain people but we must respect them even if you don't care for the way they act. I do respect role play excersises with them. Then many go home and their parents show them differently!

Very disgraceful! It is very true buth sides have their faults and Bush did have some policies that got us where we are today - hands down! Every president has made a good AND bad mark on this country.

Why don't we go after Clinton and Bush since they are responible in my eyes for not catching 9/11 before it happened. Clinton was too busy having in fun in the oval office and Bush was out golfing in Crawford. Thousands died, places destroyed and I feel like we lost sight of that day. Obama promised to get Bin Laden and nothing yet. Bush said in an NBC interview before he left the oval office that Bin Laden wasn't a concern. I just don't get it. Then Bush brings us into Iraq and nothing was there. Billions spent on the war when we could have used that money to prevent the economic downfall.

Sorry for the rant. Stuff like this gets me upset. All of these presidents and administrations are responsible for our current situation. It is not just one.

It seems to me many conservatives (not all) are upset that the deemocrats won (especially with an historic election) so now they are annoyed and trying to get back at the democrats. I sware some people never grwo up. I have some of my third graders who are more mature! THESE PEOPLE ARE FOOLS!

Back in the 1980s pols of both parties actually got along after work. Democratic house speaker Tip O'Neil was friends w/Ronald Reagan and they socialized frequently. Orrin Hatch (R) of Utah was an extremely close friend of Teddy Kennedy's.

The problem today is that extremists have taken over both parties and w/that mix nothing gets done. I see it everyday here in California. On a side note, if McCain had been elected-he'd be in basically the same mess as Obama!

Clinton was under constant supoenas from Republican Ken Starr for spurious non scandals such as Whitewater, Monica, and Travelgate. This was not to bring justice, but in attempt to sink the Clinton presidency.

Agreed. These tea party people are no more racist than old school democrats like the late Mr. Strom....oh wait that's not a good example...he WAS a racist. The far left have to demonize that tea party movement somehow. Sure there are some kooks out there, but the majority of tea party people are good old middle-America that don't agree with the politics and policies of the current president. When has it become an act of racism to disagree with the President? I must also add that I think it's wrong to talk so horribly about our president, even if you disagree with his policies. I respect the office of the President, however, I don't agree with his policies etc. You wouldn't see me at a tea party event, but I also don't think these people are bad people, they are just frustrated at the direction Obama is taking this country. Someone also said there is corruption on both sides, and I agree with that too. I didn't agree with many things Bush did, but I respect the office he held just as I do with Obama. I will say that President Obama is without question making massive blunders with his policies, and he is moving in a direction that most Americans oppose. He is also obviously a radical leftist, and this fact has been leaking out little by little every day he is in office, and it's clear to see by the decisions and direction he has been moving.

What's the answer?

He also voted no on all the important civil rights bills in the 1960s while many Republicans voted yes.

In another civil rights case, here in CA a majority of Dems voted no to alllow gay marriage and both Obama and Hillary were against gay people having the right to marriage during the presidential campaign. Meanwhile w/all that nonsense, the Republican dominated CA supreme court said that gay marriage in CA should be allowed! Republicans for gay marriage and Dems against it?? Wazzz up w/that??

I don't know....but I do think that the massive entitlement programs are sucking the life out of Americans and our economy, that wasn't the original design for America.

You are right, Republicans, Bush, Cheney, Romney advocate massive entitlement programs for big corporations, billionaires, corporate welfare, and welfare for those who don't need the money.

It was Cheney who said: Deficits don't matter and they did not hurt Reagan. Clinton gave us surpluses.
Goverment interferes with our personal lives when they tell us who we can marry, what we can do with our own bodies, what books, we are allowed to read, and movies we can watch.

After the financial meltdwon and the BP disaster private business proved they cannot police themselves.

I'm really surprised by the bias stance many here have about the tea party people....I suppose if you listen to CNN and MSNBC that's all you're going to hear, but the real facts are that the tea party movement simply wants from both democrats and republicans, lower taxes, less government spending, less government interference in business and other areas of our personal lives, less entitlements for those who won't work...that's pretty simple. What's racist about that? The media is spinning that the tea party movement is all about race....do you think the liberal media has an agenda? Sure they do... to demonize conservatives...and many of you here on CT have fallen for that completely false reporting by the media. (yes there are a few ...very few...kooks that have spoiled it for the tea party movement as a whole, but the huge majority of these tea party people are good citizens that are tired of the direction our government is moving....there's nothing racist about it at all.

First off CNN is one of the most, if not the most neutral news networks in all of televison.

Its funny the tea party people want less government when the Bush administration was the most abtrusive administration in history with things like the "patriot" act, again where were these so called "Tea Party" People? They want less Govt. interference in buisness eh? BP shure showed us thats a good idea! No benifits for people that don't work? Its not that people won't work, its just that people cant find work in this economy they need the benifits.

The fact is the Tea Party is a racist organization and I don't understand how you don't see that Barry? Calling for the death of Obama,Michelle, and Sasha and Malia! Thats unacceptable in other countries. Comparing the President to the worst dictators in the history of the world- Treason in other countries. These people calling Obama a lyin African RACIST, Period . Calling black congressmen Niggers how can you tell me thats not racist. The Tea Party should be ashamed and I am embaressed to call them American citizens.SMH.

Fox News have done nothing short of demonize Obama.
