Tea Party Conservatives

Joann Said:

Are tea party/conservatives Tammy Bruce and Laura Ingraham a couple officially?

We Answered:

It wouldn't be the first time a "closet'd" republican homosexual practiced self hate.

Stanley Said:

Shouldn't we be referring Tea Party conservatives as reactionaries, not as conservatives?

We Answered:

Yes, I agree - more reactionary than conservative. I hear of them protesting every move Obama makes instead of promoting conservative ideals.

Sara Said:

Why can't we let the Tea Party people, Conservatives and Republicans not pay taxes and get no services?

We Answered:

You don't get it. 40-50% of your check is already chewed up by federal taxes -- Social Security is also a TAX. Taxes should be kept at the local or municipal level so that there is more transparency and more money is spent on these services rather than on maintaining a bureaucracy.

In a scenario where one could escape oppressive taxes, conservatives would:
....hire their own private security guards (e.g. for a subdivision of 100 homes.... at $200 per home...whoa that's $200,000 for 5 full time or 10 night time security guards -- and since there are no taxes for the guards, they'd be getting paid DOUBLE what they would normally get.) Or one cop per 10 homes. DUH.

They'd go to Wal-mart and buy quick crete to patch the holes in the roads. $10 a bag and no wait for 10 months of bureaucratic paperwork. DUH

They'd install fire protection systems and have a volunteer fire department.

They'd buy their books on Amazon -- or better yet get a Kindle for $260 -- they'd take the used books and donate to a library -- that they would build.

They'd send their kids to private schools -- because let's face it, private schools as a general rule have much higher success rates.

They recognize social security as a tax and take that 12% that would have come out of their check and toss it into a 401K with an 8% yield.

They buy their own insurance AND understand that medicine needs to stay PRIVATIZED not socialized to work properly.

So yeah, keep your hands off of our money -- we'll take care of ourselves.

What Conservatives, Tea Party members and true REPUBLICANS understand that liberals don't is that GOVERNMENT DOES NOT PRODUCE ANYTHING except bureaucracy. Military equipment is produced by Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Smith & Wesson, etc. All private companies. The government does not create anything tangible except papework. They don't produce bottled water, pens, pencils, toothbrushes, cars, solar cells, Ipods, Iphones, Skinputs, Ipads, water heaters, light bulbs... really...name one tangible product that government produces?

Government contracts PRIVATE industry to do the work for them using money they've taken from the general populace. You are of the mind that government can spend your money better than you can -- obviously you don't have a job, don't own a house and don't pay bills. Do you really need government to tell you how you should invest and save for retirement? Which insurance company (medicare/medicaid) you should be paying for? Or which cause (e.g. salamander crossings?!! for $50,000???!!! ) you should be funding (other taxes) so that they can keep useless bureaucratic jobs funded?

It took 12 years to build an overpass here in Atlanta. It took Walt Disney 18 months to build Disney World.... between government and private industry there is no comparison as to which performs better. If there is a need for roads, people will pay for it -- but when its your money and not someone else's, you'll make sure the roads will last longer than 4 years before they need to be 'resurfaced' again.

You also forget -- WE paid for those roads and services with our taxes in the first place. The reason they're constantly under repair or under duress is because they're so poorly managed by -- you guessed it, government. You're saying a person can't hire a contractor for construction, road, utilities, security, tutoring/teaching or other needed services? You believe government can do it better? HAHAHAHA!

Ralph Said:

Tea Party Conservatives: Would you play the Obama Administration in a basketball game?

We Answered:

I would school Barry. If I win he has to pull all troops out of the middle east.

Toni Said:

Republicans, What Will Change When "Tea Party Conservatives" Are Elected?

We Answered:

Nothing.

The Tea party folks will be outnumbered 10 to one by the establishment Republicans. They will be brow beaten and pressured to toe the line. If any stick to their guns they will be marginalized and become impotent to do anything. To make a difference you need to replace the parties over the course of several elections until the reformers have enough numbers to stand against the establishment Republicans (or Democrats). Unfortunately the Public has too short an attention span. If they do not see results they get discouraged and the Tea Party will fade away before the next election cycle.

Teresa Said:

Why are tea party conservatives racist?

We Answered:

They have nothing else but to call you, me or anyone else racist. We don't agree with their agenda SO we MUST be racist right? You say one thing against Obama and you're racist, say one thing about immigration and you're racist. But I realize if you simply lower your standards of these people you usually aren't too disappointed when they open their mouths. :)

Evelyn Said:

Why can't Tea Party Conservatives think for themselves?

We Answered:

Tbaggers can't think.They fall for the biggest idiots with the most money.Money they got by convincing tbaggers they know what's best.Beck isn't even a christian,he's mormon.They don't believe in christ.Limbaugh is a fat drug addict that lies about everything.Yet tbaggers made them rich and would follow them off a cliff.Talk about deluded.
