"When you make fun of Sarah Palin, you are making fun of me,"
Edited on Fri Jan-21-11 08:36 PM by sixmile
Profile of a teabagger. The hypocrisy in this man would be funny were it not true. This is what we're up against for the soul of this country.



http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/pulp/2011/01/tea_party_gabriel_jose_carrera.php

'A first-generation Cuban-American, he's stringently anti-immigration while at the same time representing illegal immigrants in court. He's deadset against Mexican immigration and was an early proponent of the wall on the border, but he supports opening the doors for Venezuelan immigrants who want to get away from leftist dictator Hugo Chavez.

He's greatly opposed to health-care reform, decrying government involvement in insuring people. Yet he and his wife can't afford health insurance while his kids -- you guessed it -- get health care through a State of Florida program.

He has a tattoo of Confederate flag on his body (he won't say where) but says he didn't put it there in honor of the pro-slavery Confederacy but because he identifies himself as a rebel. Ideologically he's the polar opposite of John Lennon, but he listens to classic Beatles songs like "Revolution" and "Helter Skelter" to get himself pumped up for political action.'




That's the way the Tea Party was, says Carrera. You did whatever needed to be done. Although he often served as the face of the party, Carrera is quick to say he's not the leader of what he describes as a "slightly disorganized grassroots movement." There are others who led the local effort, people like GOP activist and blogger Javier Manjarres, organizer Patrick Castronovo, and the mother of the party in Fort Lauderdale, Danita Kilcullen.

Carrera was a local Tea Party leader, but what was he leading? What exactly is the Tea Party? Carrera can't seem to define it, though he takes a stab at defining himself.

"I don't like Republicans because they are bastards, and I don't like Democrats because they are assholes," he told me. "I try to be Gabe. I guess I consider myself a constitutional conservative."

On Health Reform ("ObamaCare")

http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/pulp/2011/01/tea_party_on_obamacare.php

...

A: My kids have KidCare. It's a means-based insurance for kids. They look at what you make, and they charge according to what you make.

Q: So wait a minute... I'm paying for your kids' health insurance?

A: I have a private insurance... I want to say it's half-private and half-government. My wife did it; I'm not exactly sure. It's called KidCare. I had to send them my taxes and what I make, and I had to send them what the business was making because I work for myself, and according to what I make, they charge me. But I don't have any; my wife doesn't have any.'

snip

...

Q: My opinion? I believe very strongly in a single payer national health-care system just like the rest of the goddamned civilized world has where we don't have to worry about this.

A: Basically what Obamacare is doing is basically guaranteeing that in 20 years, there will not be one private health insurance company left. It will be a one-payer system, the United States government, and everything the government does they ruin. .

Q: A national health-care system has been talked about in this country for 50 years.

A: Yes, but those people are sympathetic to Chavez, Castro, and the Sandanistas.

Q: Richard Nixon backed a national health-care system. Who are you talking about? '

Nope, he is a Cuban emigre and a grifter trainee.

9. q: So?
a: Thank you for asking such a poignant question.

Allow me to answer your question with a question: Do you think Democrats should have a plan to discredit and expose these types of voters, or should they shrug it off and ask "So?"???
