The Tea Party has spoken: "SHUT 'ER DOWN!"

[Skip_In_Boulder]

These people are destroying the country.

[spanone]

1. the teabaggers are the official brains of the republican party

[CurtJa]

2. Tea Party members sure love to cosplay.

nm

[BoWanZi]

6. I have to admit, some of their costumes are pretty damned cool.

[Skip_In_Boulder]

10. I've been thinking, I should move back to the Midwest

and open the Teabagger Funny Little Hat Store. I could make a million.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. LOL

:rofl:

[JHB]

27. That's an insult to cosplaying.

Cosplayers usually have a better notion of whatever character they're dressing as. And they know when they're dressing as a fictional character.

TeaTory costumes are more like packaging: so you pay attention to the wrapper, and make wrong assumptions about the product.

[Thunderstruck]

3. Plenty of coverage on MSNBC...

Covering another rally with Bachmann in DC too.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

36. The lame$tream media ought to ignore the Tealiban

and their WBC buddies too. The only reason this bunch of banshees got into office is because the media gives them so much attention. While ignoring Democrats and HUGE Democratic rallys - the media pander to the Tealiban rallys with 10 people and give them primetime exposure instead.

Pfft. If they'd "blackout" the Tealiban same as they do the Democrats/Progressives, they'd be just as invisible - and they'd never get elected.

The MEDIA has a lot to do with who gets (s)elected to office. They have a lot of power in this regard. Don't think they don't know it.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

4. But......but.....but

The House passed a budget, the Senate didn't!!!!
:eyes: :sarcasm:

How soon they forget that their allies in the Senate blocked the Democrats from passing a budget last year and the Senate is not obligated to simply approve whatever the House GOP/teabaggers want either. President Obama and the Democrats in Congress have shown themselves to be amenable to compromise (and, honestly, I think Boehner and some other Republicans are too) but as long as the teabaggers are demanding that the Senate adopt the RADICAL House GOP budget or shut everything down (and the House GOP leadership decides to do their bidding), they should ultimately be held responsible for a shutdown IMHO.

[Ganja Ninja]

5. Please do!

If the Democrats have any balls at all they will embrace this and use it to force the GOP to roll back many of the gains Republicans have already gotten like the tax cuts for the rich.

[Skip_In_Boulder]

15. I'm with you

Let's inflict some real "austerity" on the country and see how that plays with the baggers. It seems most of them are just clueless as to how many government services they actually use.

[lapislzi]

26. I want to see the Tea Party explaining to service members

Why they can't collect full paychecks. This should be good.

[Hubert Flottz]

31. "They Support The Troops"

Until the troops turn their backs on them.

Edit...How the hell is not paying taxes like GE or EXXON are doing, supporting the very troops that protect their investments abroad?

[OHdem10]

8. Bohner can get the Conservative Dems and Enough Sensible

Republicans to keep the Government going.

Will he, that is the question.

80 something brand new Representatives are going
to hold the Government Hostage.

[rucky]

9. This is what founding father Larry the Cable Guy said

after he and Jefferson freed the slaves.

[sharp_stick]

22. Now I'm picturing

Jefferson driving around his slave fields in Mater. Thanks a lot. ;-)

[EC]

11. This woman on with Andrea is really

stupid and doesn't seem to realize that the country has a credit score to maintain too.

[Justitia]

12. What is it w/baggers & their costumes? I mean, they look ridiculous.

I vacillate between outright laughing & being totally mystified by this costume fetish.

[bullwinkle428]

13. Founding fathers were known to sport Casio G-Shocks on their wrist all the time!

[chelsea0011]

14. this guy's on Utube. Loves to play dress up

[C_U_L8R]

20. Is this the same John Oltesvig?

http://www.glgroup.com/Council-Member/John-Oltesvig-170060.html

he must have forgotten to put 'playing dress-up' in the special interests section of his resume


on edit... oh wait there's more... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh3L-p93Tn0

[Justitia]

28. Sure looks like it. OMG, GLG group is a very reputable co, w/selective clients

I would think they would be mortified to see one of their consultants playing Teabagger Dress Up all over the intertubes.

[JHB]

32. Managment consultant, president of a company, corporate executive....

...just a regular ol' hardworkng taxpayer angry at the tyrannical gummint.

"John’s hobbies are flying, skiing, horseback riding, golfing and politics."
http://voiceofmoorecounty.com/john-oltesvig/

How's an honest Tory going to pay for all those expensive hobbies if millionaires and multinational corporations have to pay taxes?

[chelsea0011]

37. Looks just like him

[flakey_foont]

16. Sweet Maria!

This guy looks ridiculous!!! 'Shut 'er down!" yeah, and then what, Einstein?

[aquart]

17. They think it's Boston but it's really Alice.

[chaplainM]

18. What kind of name is "Oltesvig?"

I wonder why he refuses to produce a valid birth certificate.

[sharp_stick]

25. Damned Norwegians

Just imagine how nice this country would be if we could remain pure in our founding fathers intents to not allow Scandinavian ruffians to take over the Midwest?

[Ikonoklast]

19. Another idiot that hates the military.

He does realize that he will let all military personnel go without pay, right?

Their families will go hungry?

They will be forced to go on welfare?

Why does he hate our military so much?

Must be a COMMIE.

[Justitia]

21. well, he IS dressed like a British subject -eom

[Ikonoklast]

24. Ooooh...he's a freakin' TORY!!!

Of course he hates America!!


Bet he hates that Washington rabble-rouser guy, too!

[Shagbark Hickory]

23. Does this mean the politicians won't be getting paid while the govt is "shut down?" How about wars?

Will we still have to do war?

[Skip_In_Boulder]

29. More than likely it will just be the "Small People"

who don't get paid.

[Hubert Flottz]

30. The Army of dicks!

Dick's Armey is on the march to "armageddon" with their kool-aid and the sword of the lord.

[JoePhilly]

35. YUP, the Dick Army.

[guitar man]

33. If they do that

How will they get their Social Security checks, Their Medicare....their "free" stuff?

[pansypoo53219]

34. neo-know nothings.

this too shall pass. remind them that CLINTON fixed the deficit BY RAISING TAXES ON THE RICH!
