When asked, tea baggers said taxes had gone up or stayed the same under the Obama administration. Only two percent of the tea baggers said taxes had gone down….
Well get this tea baggers… Under the Obama administration, taxes were lower for 95% of working families… That’s right. Taxes were lower for 95% of working families…
It’s kinda of silly that in a movement that got together over it’s concern for taxes, 98% of its members have no idea of what taxes are doing, whether they are coming or going…. 98%of them…
One definition of Cults, is that they maintain their irrational hardened beliefs even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary…
Tea Baggers are a cult. They should get a farm in Waco. I wish someone had thought of this a long time ago… We all knew it.
If teabaggers don’t like their taxes under Obama, they can always send the difference to the Treasury.
“Only 2% of the people in a movement about taxes, named after a tax revolt, have the slightest idea what’s going on… with taxes.”
Classic.
Instead of Teabaggers, the movement should be called, PWSMTTBGW (People who are still mad that the black guy won). Kind of clunky, but more accurate.
A teabagger is someone participating in a sexual act
That act being the sucking of balls or having ones balls sucked.
This act may be performed by two or more participants or in the case of rubber spined liberals,the act may be performed alone.
If that is true FYBH, why have these Republican cultists decided to call themselves teabaggers?
You got me jason, i’m a conservative. I don,t participate in protests.
pretty sure that name didnt come from within the movement

As in “We teabaggers are having a teabag party, bring some virgins!”
I believe it was Anderson Cooper who coined the phrase, “teabagging”.
I’m not joking.
Yes, it originated inside the movement.
The “Tea Party” people know that the debt that has been growing first with Bush, and now has exponentially grown under Obama is going to crush us(and our kids) Obama hasn’t lowered taxes, he gave tax credits-not the same thing. The Bush tax cuts will expire next year, and people making less than $100,000 WILL pay more taxes. States are bankrupt but they can’t print money, so they have to cut spending or raise taxes. Bush cut taxes, but increased spending. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see this is going to end badly so the Tea Party people are trying to stop(or lessen) the inevitable financial train wreck.
..How exactly? Because actual economists think that there needs to be MORE not less government spending to get us out of this Bush created cluster fuck.
Teabaggers came up with their own name (scroll down to see picture).
Colleen O pretty amply demonstrates Bill Maher’s observation:
More govt spending gets us out of recession? If that reasoning were true, Bush grew the spending and govt, we shouldn’t have had a recession. Those economist you’re speaking of claimed that for every dollar spent by the govt, 2 dollars is created in the economy. If that’s true, why only have a trillion dollar stimulus? Why not 3 trillion, 10 trillion? How’s that government over spending working in California, New York, New Jersey? Why aren’t they doing better than all other states? Your logic doesn’t add up.
More govt spending gets us out of recession? If that reasoning were true, Bush grew the spending and govt, we shouldn’t have had a recession.
Bush’s spending actually DID get us out of the recession in 2001-2002. Just like Obama’s spending got us out of the 2008-2009 recession.
When you execute a traditional Keynesian stimulus you are supposed to cut taxes and increase spending, and then when the economy picks up you are supposed to follow through with the second part – raise taxes and cut back on spending.
By that standard, we had 8 years to evaluate Bush and we know how that worked out. Bush never executed the second part of the stimulus, and therefore booted us into a dangerously deep recession.
Now Obama started with a bigger recession, and we have only had one year to evaluate his economic performance. In his first month Obama gave us tax cuts and increased spending. As a result the economy is starting to show signs of life, and guess what, right on Keynes’s schedule we are talking about tax increases and a spending freeze. Finally someone who understands economics is in charge.

As in…doesn’t say “teabagger” anywhere on the site.

Oh, just because you say so I guess??

That picture shows someone who is “in on the joke.” Well after teabagger had entered the discussion, unless you are claiming this sign is the first use of that sexual innuendo within the scope of this debate? If you are, I’d ask you to put a date on this picture, so that I may search for an earlier use.
NRO’s Jay Nordlinger on the origins of the term and why conservatives should stop using the word.
Rachel Maddow and David Shuster set the record straight – the term existed before April 15 and conservatives were the ones using it.
Once again conservatives have no idea of what’s true, they depend on us liberals to explain things to them. Use the Google conservatives or is Google too liberal for you?
That picture does NOT show someone who is in on the joke. You can click on the properties of the picture to see that it has a date of 3/18/2009 and the article itself is dated 3/20. If you google that you’ll see that that progressive blogs started their laughing and pointing at teabaggers right around the same time.
Why not 3 trillion, 10 trillion? Exactly. Only don’t blow it on bullshit wars of vanity. (Vanity wars that Colleen O was, no doubt, cheering on in spite of the cost.)
My original point stands. We can all agree that Teabaggers should not call themselves teabggers unless they want to be regarded as sexual deviants who know nothing about economics.
Tea baggers, empty headed people unsure of everything alive and well in a country that considers stupidity a vitue and wisdom a vice, not a good situation, especially since they have access to the bullies with the bullhorns (wing nut radio) the origine of the term tea party goes back to Rick Santelli, a comentator on CNBC who called for a new boston tea party to protest the soaring national debt caused by last years bailout, they hijacked the name but are not knowledgable enough to even know who to blame.
“Your logic doesn’t add up.”
It never will. Just look at this thread, and most of their bleating, talking point responses, as self parody. Please note that they frequently depend on second rate comedians (Maher, Stewart, Colbert, etc.) for their material. They’re not too bright, but they can be funny at times.
Not that she started with any logic in the first place. Which we would never count on you, mis, to even notice.
But math nor reasoning or judgment are conservative core competencies, are they?
