Tea Party Leader: We'll Take Debt Ceiling Hike If You Bring Back DADT

Tea Party Leader: We'll Take The Debt Ceiling Hike If You Put Gay Troops Back In The Closet

The two sides of the debate over whether the tea party is at heart a socially conservative movement or a fiscally conservative one smashed together Monday morning at a press conference in Washington, where a tea party leader told reporters he'd be willing to accept a bump in the debt ceiling if Republicans promise to put an end to "military effeminzation."

These people are nuts!
But it really is no surprise from a party that thought they could replace Hillary with Palin, and now think they can replace President Obama with Herman Cain. The Republicans/TeaPartyRepublican are disgusting!

1. WTF does DADT have to do with "fiscal" issues that the Tea Party is presumably all about?

10. "Fiscal responsibility" is really just the cover for racism and homophobia. Did you not get

the memo?

16. Nothing. He's just a lunatic.
Granted, that title probably applies to 95% of Tea Partiers.

5. Ahh so much for the fiscal
nature of the teabaggers huh? Fucking idiots are just as bad as the pretend libertarians like Ron Paul. He likes to pretend he's all about personal responsibility but just ask him how fast he'd like to outlaw abortion across the board.

8. I think the lie that the Tea Party is only or even primarily concerned with fiscal responsibility
Edited on Mon May-09-11 02:15 PM by Hosnon

What they really want is a deficit of rights for Americans.

13. They MUST mean
bring back the "job-creating DADT", because they're clearly ALL ABOUT job creation.

14. I read some articles a while back posted here about the real RW agenda
They claim it's about fiscal responsibility but really all they've done is attack their pet causes--the things they love to hate. Mainly the GLBT community, women and abortion. That's what their true agenda is and they cloak it with catch phrases so it can be spun that they were indeed "fiscally" responsible but the Dems aren't because they won't give on these few "unimportant" issues.

22. Dumber than a bag of hammers
Clinging to that old homophobia no matter how ridiculous they look, These are just the same idiots who worry that gay marriage will somehow ruin their own unhappy unions.

32. Your missing the whole context of that guys post.
Edited on Mon May-09-11 10:43 PM by RandomThoughts
"military effeminzation."

What Sara Palin said.

Fight like a girl.

:)


Should post another Heart Song :)

Heart-Crazy On You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZuW6BH_Vak



That is an Ent song, from the scene where The Hobbits got Ent Draught.

I was a willow last night in my dream
I bent down over a clear running stream
I sang you the song that I heard up above
And you keep me alive with your sweet flowing love


Not sure what side any of the original post or articles are on, but I might suggest thinking and feeling on choices of actions.

Its Living Craft.
"No time to be young", that is also from the living craft as explained a bit in episode about the Nox.
