BeggarsCanBeChoosers: Where were the 'Tea Party' protesters during the Bush years?

Intrepid Liberal Journal: The Democracy Index: An interview with Yale Law School professor Heather Gerken, who on January 1. 2007, published a widely read article in the LegalTimes entitled, “How Does Your State Rank on The Democracy Index.” Gerken argued that just as the Environmental Performance Index (“EPI”) shamed countries such as Belgium to upgrade their environmental practices, a “Democracy Index” would embarrass state and localities into reforming their electoral administration through competition.

Where were the teabaggers during the bushco reign of terror? Licking the boots of war criminals and constitutional traitors. Maybe a few hand made dress shoes on the feet of Wall Street pirates too.

Tea-Baggers are in for a real education when the Larry Craig republicans show up to demonstrate how its done. Wide-Stance Larry Craig will show the proper execution of a tea bag. Dude is a pro.

Ah, they love the feel of their fellow tea-bagger's tea bags smacking them in the face in the morning. Smack, smack, smack.

(Domain name for 'Chicago Tea Party' was purchased back in August 2008 tracing to billionaire Koch family.)

Watch the REAL Tea-Bag Party

Best explanation I've seen so far.

a) Packaging and reselling mortgage loans to unqualified buyers
b) Starting blogs on Pajamas Media to support our troops
from treasonous left wing bloggers.
c) Trying to get their SS Abe Lincoln codpieces unfastened in
time to teabag when the Kool Aid patrol took over.

very interesting idea/concept. for this idea of having a national ranking system for state law practice(s) to be effective you would need concensus among the partisans i don't see that happening. they will focus on the faults the imperfections if you will. i would very much like to see an index of this sort. it would be very beneficial to many demographics. i'm afraid there are too many who don't want a better system.

During the bush years the tea baggers were yelling at us and calling us un-American for not supporting bush's invasion of Iraq. The said we were supporting the terrorists if we didn't support bush. That's where they were and that's what they were doing. They were avoiding military service and slapping "I support the troops" on the ass end of their big SUVs.


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

We were warning everybody and getting laughed at by you on the left and the neo-cons on the right. We've been raising the alarm for decades and you laugh. Well I guess we're going to find out who right pretty damn soon who was right.

Where are you now? That's the question. We are about to enter a new era of tyranny. You think Washington is bad wait to you see the new boss.

for themselves someone else will. There's no shortage of people willing to "manage" your existence for you.

You were warning everybody about what?


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

He's right but guilt tripping isn't going to change anything.

speaking of NEOcons bill kristol was on fox saying that obama was blaming BUSH for the economic crisis
and that was smart politics. the use of deception in this case is ridiculous. this recession started dec.2007
and most of us remember the BUSH administration was trying their best to delay that announcement as long as they could. BUSH is also a liar he did NOT start his presidency in a recession. the NEOcons are well aware that certain demographics want to hear what they want to hear.....NOT necessarily the FACTs.

I Was Watching This Piece From the Brits

The topic was the talking head newsreaders. First he blasted the ones in Old Blighty, then he laid into the ones over here. I just about lost it when he said that "Fox generally leans more to the right than a man who just had his right leg blown off."

"Bill [O'Reilly] gets wound up by virtually anything to the left of Mussolini, hectoring and yowling like a wolf that's got his nuts caught on a coat-hanger. "

Thanx, Mike!

beck is the ultimate fearmongerer. personally i can't watch/listen to him. fox knows the mentality of certain demographics. they feed those demographics what they want to hear. this may in some cases rationalize their reality of an addiction to fear and casting judgement. even if there's any molecule of truth to what beck says there has to be a better way to present it. i can't take his melodramatics seriously.

Is beck making a Firefly reference? The part where he's wearing the blue gloves.

"Blue hands, side by side".

Fans should remember that scene and what they represented.
