A few serious questions for the tea-baggers?
You say you are worried about losing your freedoms. Where in the hell were you for the last 8 years as we were screaming and marching and telling America the very same thing? You were quieter than a church mouse. As the President came out and admitted that they illegally spied on over a million Americans, you said nothing. I must say, your protestations now seem just a bit suspicious. You say you want to take your country back. Sorry, suckers. You lost it about 8 years ago.

You say you want a balanced budget and an accounting for all the money we are spending. Where were you when George W Bush and the Republican Party were doubling our national debt in just 8 short years? Where were you when they kept asking to increase the debt ceiling by hundreds of billions of dollars? Where were you when they were borrowing a trillion dollars to prosecute two wars, at least one which was based on a stack of lies? Where were you when the Republican Party spent over a half-trillion dollars on a new "Medicare" program which was nothing more than a handout to the big insurance companies? Where were you when we borrowed more than $5 trillion dollars to add to our national debt. You were fucking asleep! Now we are supposed to take you seriously?

Where were you? When we were telling the nation that our Constitution was being shredded and that George W Bush and Dick Cheney were wiping their asses with it? You never said a word. We can only asume that you agreed with them. Now, you are shocked that the people threw your asses out? It's good that you are now waking up? But you are about $5 trillion dollars and eight years short. The majority of America can not take you seriously. You have no credibility.

Their "freedoms." Those jerks had no problem with Bush claiming he could detain people without charge indefinitely and without access to counsel!

10. I talk to those types daily
They were quite unhappy with the deficit under Bush as well.

Some even voted for Obama because of it. Not many but some.

They see the deficit growing even bigger now.

They are also the people that think we should have let IAG, the big banks, and GM/Chrysler fail. Take the hard times and pain that come with it and emerge better off without those mega corps.

15. theres an inbetween between bailing out banks and letting them "fail"
They should have been put through the bankruptcy process and broken up. If a company is too big to fail without fucking up the economy, it shouldn't be able to exist. Its worse than Standard Oil or any of the early 1900 monopolies.

18. Sorry..you're wrong
You just can't do it......you can't use the word serious and the word teabagger in the same sentence. It's a contradiction. Simply put, from what I saw in DC yesterday, these are a bunch of brainless morons. The only thing "serious" about them is how seriously stupid they are.
