So, you guys are for the social principle behind everything regardless of the financial aspect? Did you know that the Keynesian economics which Obama is running right now were very explicit about not running a DEFICIT? Especially a 15 trillion dollar one which Obama increased by 1 trillion in his first year as president? Writing the tea-party off as silly and racist is exactly why your argument is a mess. They may have extremely conservative ideals, but the concept of starting universal healthcare while your country is 15+ trillion in debt goes against neo-classical, keynesian, or any other economical theory that you want to bring up. Hate on the tea-party, but not with stupid, uneducated, bullshit ideas.

I hope you realize what I poke fun at the Tea Party Movement for is not the principals for which they claim to stand, but the reality that a large (I won't say majority since I don't know that for sure) portion of its supporters (as well as a few leaders) are ignorant folk who do nothing but regurgitate the little misinformation they retain from watching FOX News.
I also do not mean to imply that any other political party or movement doesn't have it's share of complete idiots as well. But the Tea Party has some of the loudest group of idiots in American politics today. So they are the butt of my jokes. I make fun of people at democratic events who don't know shit either...but here, now, it's the Tea Party getting the treatment.

My problem is that people seem to have some kind of disconnect with what the whole concept of democracy is supposed to be. Is it fair that the president of the free world is calling people who oppose him tea-baggers? Is it fair that he actually took the time to denigrate Fox News in one of his speeches? Obama has been given liberties that no other president has been given. During this BP thing he was golfing until he finally gave in and gave some bullshit pretend to be mad speech about it. Do you remember when Bush went to camp david and the entire media flipped their shit? Obama is clearly missing the point of presidency. The point is not to ride your hype, pick a high goal and attach that goal to the success of your presidency, the point is to help your country maintain its success, regardless of which side you are on. I guess my argument could be made into an attack on the entire bi-partisan political system, but I'll just stick with Obama spending obscene amounts of money that we dont have into a system that will most likely go the same way as social security, medicare, and every other government establishment.

Well you know what, after DUDE's last remark, I do not think of him as an asshole, but I am gonna go ahead and list you as one. Very clever splicing my remark like that. I'll be sure to take you seriously in the future.
