Okay, I think I'm beginning to understand this whole Tea Bagger mentality...
Record deficit-spending by moronic white president = "good"

Tax cut for 95% of American working families by intelligent black president = "bad"

Is that the way I understand it?

2. That about sums it up.
It never was about any well thought out philosophy or principles with this bunch. What it is really all about is culture. The Republican Party as it exists today, was born out of a reaction to the results of the civil rights movement.

3. They're the same ones saying $2 a gallon of gasoline
under John Kerry would be reason not to vote for him. Yet, when it was $4.50 a gallon under Bush, all they could say is what a good deal we were getting.

5. I honest to God have no idea what they are mad about
Taxes are too high? They are the lowest they've been in decades.

Spending is out of control? Yes, but it's been out of control since the 80's

Government is too big? No one was mad enough to take to the streets when GW Bush was presiding over BY FAR the largest expansion of the government EVER.

Bailouts? They have a point here, but Bush presided over the largest bailout, there have been bailouts before now and what are we supposed to do - let the banking system collapse and one of the largest employers in the country fold? I can find little fault with trying to prevent that.

I honestly have never heard a good explanation for what they are mad about or how they would do it better.
