Help me here - they just ran a segment on the Tea Party in NC.
They for the most part looked either somewhat or really old. Meaning that many of them are probably getting help from one or more government programs. But I would guess that if they were told to give up those perks and assume the cost themselves, they would scream bloody murder. So, what exactly do they stand for? What do they want? Blah blah blah, too much government, trampling on our constitution, blah blah.

Do they have any ideas at all? Are they for anything, or just against everything?

without the Army Dick slush funds and abetting by the media, if a tea partier shit in the woods, would anyone know...or care???

This is insanity. These people are just utterly unglued. And, yes, just a bit scary!

1. No, they have no ideas at all, except destroy President Obama.
Yes, they are against everything that makes sense. As to whether anyone would know or care of they shit in the woods, I'm guessing few would, but Fox would be there to film the big event.

I agree they're insane, unglued, and definitely scary.

Heaven help us all!

2. The Tea Baggers are actually a very simple group to figure out
In a nutshell, they hate black people, brown people, yellow people and pretty much everyone else that is not like them and their kin. They display their racism these days with hilariously contradictory signs and bad spelling. No, the Tea Baggers are just your run of the mill racist douchebags that mistakenly believe that their lives are miserable becuase of "them" people.

3. They don't know what they stand for.
They got GWB and his Bush league lapdog GOP congress. Just what they always wanted. But that was a clusterfuck and these clowns won't admit that to themselves. All those 8 years they kept their mouths shut on account of loyalty to a party they now won't admit they are members of.

So now they're bitching, projecting their anger over the Bush years onto him. You see, people this opinionated are never big enough to admit they made a mistake. And so they rationalize quite a bit. That's what's going on. It doesn't make sense, and that's why none of their poutrage does either.

4. I will never believe that they are not nothing but a bunch of
racist. They are so damn stupid that they can not understand that the rich and republican corporations are plundering this country. They are bleeding the Middle Class dry. These people are not rich and how damn dumb can they be to not know that corporations don't give a good piece of crap about them.

6. You need to remember,
the Teabaggers are not against government benefits, they are very strongly against government benefits for OTHER people.
