The Tea Party

Virginia Said:

What is the general Tea Party stance on free trade and outsourcing?

We Answered:

I support "free trade" but we do not have it now when goods can be produced in foreign countries much cheaper than here due to lower wages, enviromental regulations, taxes, etc. so we cannot compete with them currently. Raising the tariffs would raise the prices for these goods but that would mean unwanted inflation at a time when Americans cannot afford it. The only possible way I see it (and I am by no means an educated economist) is to drastically lower or even ELIMINATE corporate taxes to make outsourcing both undesirable and economically unfeasible. Who would not buy a brand new computer (or other goods) if it cost 50% less and were made HERE? Unfortunately, to do this would mean elimination or drastic down-sizing of entitlements and military spending which, in this politically-charged age, I do not see happening. In any case, this reform would not happen overnight... and it's just my theory on "how to"!

Kimberly Said:

Perhaps they are being fiendishly clever and concealing what they actually know about you?

Diana Said:

What's the difference between the Tea Party and th Republican Party?

We Answered:

Republicans have indoor plumbing.

When republicans controlled the ENTIRE govt, why did they create record massive deficits?
FACT: Republicans controlled the entire govt between Jan 2001 and Jan 2007 when dems were sworn in. During that time of ENTIRE REPUBLICAN CONTROL they ran massive record deficits.

You can not blame these record deficits on democrats.

Here are the OFFICAL budget numbers from the CBO:

2000 - 236 Billion SURPLUS under Clinton
2001 - 128 Billion SURPLUS under Clinton
2002 - 158 Billion deficit under Bush with republican congress
2003 - 378 Billion deficit under Bush with republican congress
2004 - 413 Billion deficit under Bush with republican congress
2005 - 318 Billion deficit under Bush with republican congress
2006 - 248 Billion deficit under Bush with republican congress
2007 - 161 Billion deficit under Bush with republican congress
2008 - 459 Billion deficit under Bush with Dem congress
2009 - 1.2 Trillion deficit - Bush was pres the first 4 months of this budget which includes his 700 Billion in bailouts and the expected 600 billion deficit for a total of 1.2 trillion

Reagan increased our debt an average of 24% yearly...he tripled it from 934B to 2.6B (189%)
Bush increased our debt an average of 11% yearly...he doubled it from 5.7 to 10.6 trillion (91%)
Obama increased our debt 16% in his first year from 10.6 to 12.3 trillion (to stop a great depression)

(Data from the US Treasury Bureau of Public Debt - http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/NPGateway

FACTS SHOW THAT REAGAN AND BUSH SET RECORDS FOR DEBT INCREASES AND DEFICIT INCREASES

Harold Said:

Whats the difference between the Tea Party and the KKK?

We Answered:

You don't think that the disapproval of President Obama comes from his actions?
That's like a black person shooting someone and then saying that he got arrested because he's black. No. He got arrested because he shot someone. Duh.

Judith Said:

Should the Tea Party make up a fictitious leader.....?

We Answered:

Tea Party suggest to Palin in 2010 just to get under a lib skin......come up with a bee sting and see how the libs take it......so--- "how's that hope and change thing goin for ya".? Libs go ball sack nuts. Now.....say you're thinking about 2012 in one of your next interviews.......and see what we see. Libs lose their friggen minds and make clowns out of themselves on lib TV, radio and print. Palin sips some mojo in front of her fire place with a sore stomach -- laughing so much not realizing how easy it was to give libs conniption fits.

Libs are just plain off the chart hypersensitive.....and that frequent bee sting hurts like hell, doesn't it?
She's having fun....and we're all sitting on the sidelines watching libs OD on alka seltzer.

I love Palin.......for nothing more than she has a lib's number. She laughs her butt off, we sit back and watch lib's craniums open up and fire shoots out in all directions.

Discuss It!
