Tea Party Republicans who threatened the US AAA Bond rating

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

Here is the list  of Tea Party Senate Republicans who threatened the AAA Bond rating with Senator DeMint being the king of the tea party terrorists because they have held our economy hostage.  They are on record for wanting to shut down the government like anarchists, and now they want nothing to do with bipartisanship.  Ronald Reagan was a good President because he worked across the aisle.  What makes tea party politicians better than Reagan?  Why don’t they acknowledge that Reagan increased taxes, too?

Pat Toomey (R-PA) 202.224.4254

Marco Rubio (R-FL) 202.224.3041

Rand Paul (R-KY) 202.224.4343

Mike Lee (R-UT) 202.224.5444

Ron Johnson (R-WI) 202.224.5323

 

Our markets started to take a dive here in the U.S. then the rest of the world because the teahadists are unreasonable and have become a party of “no”.  One Tea Party Republican, Eric Cantor, was caught shorting the market putting himself in a position to benefit when the markets failed.  Go figure.

Who in their right mind would want to put their money against US Markets yet call themselves a true patriot?

Be sure to call these tea party Republicans and tell them you are tired of their political games.  These individuals believe the entire US population voted “only them” in not realizing that the American people have voted in several hundred politicians from diverse backgrounds across the political spectrum around the nation. It’s unfortunate the Republican Party has been hijacked by freshmen and crying babies.

Tea Party’s War on America

These last few months, much of the country has watched in horror as the Tea Party Republicans have waged jihad on the American people. Their intransigent demands for deep spending cuts, coupled with their almost gleeful willingness to destroy one of America’s most invaluable assets, its full faith and credit, were incredibly irresponsible. But they didn’t care. Their goal, they believed, was worth blowing up the country for, if that’s what it took.

Like ideologues everywhere, they scorned compromise. When John Boehner, the House speaker, tried to cut a deal with President Obama that included some modest revenue increases, they humiliated him. After this latest agreement was finally struck on Sunday night — amounting to a near-complete capitulation by Obama — Tea Party members went on Fox News to complain that it only called for $2.4 trillion in cuts, instead of $4 trillion. It was head-spinning.

Marilyn Davenport, tea party activist and Republican should resign over racist “ape” photo of Obama

Monday, April 18th, 2011

Marilyn Davenport, a tea party activist and elected member of the central committee of the Republican Party of Orange County, has been peddling a racist photo and email.  The caption beneath the picture read,  “Now you know why no birth certificate.” Lately, Donald Trump has jumped on the nativist and birther bandwagon and he has also been questioning Obama’s birthplace, and it’s no wonder they are all crawling out of their rocks again.

I have said it all along….the Tea Party movement has been hijacked by the birthers, nativists, and anti-immigrant racists.  They don’t belong in the Party of Abraham Lincoln and the GOP leadership needs to ask for her resignation because we cannot continue to afford the continued and overt blatant racism.  If leadership doesn’t step up and correct her racism, our Party will continue to be seen as the old Caucasian Party and our ethnic membership numbers will continue to dwindle.  We have too many of these nativists in our Party as it is — from Russell Pearce, to Rand Paul, to Michele Bachmann, to Jerry Moran, to Mike Lee,  to David Vitter and now Donald Trump.  The birther movement keeps growing via the Tea party movement, and each day they are being recognized as folks who meet at rallies because they simply hate the President.

I am very glad that Republicans that know her are asking her to resign.  Kudos to Scott Baugh (OC GOP Chairman) for telling her this photo was racist, and you can hear him in this video asking her to resign.

These photos are despicable, now where’s the Tequila?

  • The Tea Party Is Over

    Friday, April 15th, 2011

    Ted Reinstein is a Boston columnist who quoted us as saying the Tea Party’s Over.

    He is right.

    It is over.

    The Tea Party movement nut-jobbers like Michele Bachmann, DeMint, Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Debbie Riddle, Dan Patrick, Ted Poe, Leo Berman, Tom Tancredo, Russell Pearce, JD Hayworth, and all the other angry politicians who are irrational are losing Tea Party momentum.

     

    The Tea Party’s Over

    Uncompromising Right To The End

    (SNIP)

    Why the Republican flight from reasonableness to recklessness then?

    Two words: Tea Party.

    It is primarily the newest House members, many of whom were Tea Party-backed, who have been most rigid and unyielding in demanding steep and drastic budget cuts. And they have made it very difficult for Republican House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) to find compromise in, or otherwise moderate their mad dog approach to politics.While a government shutdown was narrowly averted last week when the White House and Boehner agreed on some $39 billion in cuts, Tea Party members had wanted $60 to $100 billion in cuts — numbers that would have devastated daily life for millions of Americans.

    The Tea Party response? Three words, as succinctly summed up by U.S. Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), a Tea Party favorite: Shut ‘er down!

    Some were troubled by that scorched earth attitude.

    “Tea partiers seem to have an ‘all or nothing’ characteristic about them and we know this because they were being irrational in wanting to see the entire government shutdown … it is simply unreasonable to see the entire government shutdown instead of promoting rational solutions.”

    The words of Michael Moore or Rachel Maddow?

    No, the words of DeeDee Garcia Blase, writing in the Tucson Citizen. Blase is Founder and President of Somos Republicans, the nation’s largest Latino Republican organization.
