TeaRacists And Hypocritical Republican Scaredy-Cats
These TeaRacists. What a farce. Massive UNPAID tax cuts for the rich under Bush, but no screeching. Not a single sound. UNPAID trillion-dollar war of choice, but no screeching. UNPAID 600-billion dollar Medicare drug bill without the ability to negotiate price and still with a massive donut hole, but no screeching. R's inherited a 200 billion+ surplus and turned it into a 1.3 trillion deficit, but no screeching. Bush's 700 billion TARP bill, but no screeching. A black man is elected to the Presidency, hey, let's SCREECH. They are ignorant, fake, phony, racist, cement-headed goofballs who would be the very first to whine and moan the second their own kids' football teams got cut or if their towns couldn't afford to pave the potholes in front of their houses. They, as much as ANY Republican, are IN LOVE WITH AND DEEPLY DEPENDENT UPON the many public programs and services that they routinely use day in and day out. Every time I ask Republicans if they want to cut road repairs, sewer systems, public safety, public sanitation, Medicare, Social Security, the VA, the US Military (the most "socialist" institution in the land) and their own kids' public school programs they shout NO just as loud as they screech about "taxes taxes taxes..." What a bunch of fakes. They are as "liberal" as anyone else, and underneath all the BS they know it. Now they have been challenged to put their healthcare ideas, or lack thereof, in front of the American people on Feb. 25th along with Obama's ideas. Their real god, HeadRUSHLimpballs, and their masters at FAUXNews are telling them not to do it and trying to spin it as a Democratic "set-up" for "failure." What a bunch of tuck-tail chickens. What a sad band of mealy-mouthed scaredy-cats. C'mon you big tough R's. Bring it on. Feb. 25th. It's your chance. "Wow" the public with your great "ideas," if you dare.

4. Some things to add to the list .....
1) Look up how often the debt ceiling was raised under Bush. Every year but 2001. SILENCE FROM THE RIGHT.

2) Here is the earmark spending numbers under Bush ... and Obama ...

2001, GOP congress, 18.5B in earmarks ... no tea parties.
2002, GOP congress, 20.1B in earmarks ... no tea parties.
2003, GOP congress, 22.5B in earmarks ... no tea parties.
2004, GOP congress, 22.9B in earmarks ... no tea parties.
2005, GOP congress, 27.3B in earmarks ... no tea parties.
2006, GOP congress, 29.0B in earmarks ... no tea parties.

2007, DEM congress, 13.2B in earmarks ... right wing screams
2008, DEM congress, 17.2B in earmarks ... right wing screams
2009, DEM congress, 19.6B in earmarks ... right wing holds Tea parties.

2010, DEM congress, 10.2B in earmarks ... the right wing will continue to scream, roll on the floor like angry toddlers, and pretend to care about earmark spending .... even though 10.2B is less in earmarks than every year since 1995.

Interestingly ... for the 4 years of data for the Dems, each year has less in earmark dollars then EVERY YEAR that the GOP held the Congress and the white House.

The far right's mock indignation is hilarious.
