    Many, MANY are indeed (I've even worked for a few, and seen it first hand). I've seen the 'real intelligencia' just recently too. They were all camped out under tents, splashing champagne glasses with each other while their latest acquisition was being manned by the working people.

    That's very 'grown up'. Thank you. I wasn't quick enough to stab my buddy in the back for cash so, shame on me. Oh well. I can live with it.

    How is Boehner RINO? He disagrees with only one of the Tea Party's core beliefs. Do all conservatives have to be carbon copies of one another to be real conservatives?

    I prefer to call him a worthless meddling moderate. Not that there's
    any other kind of moderate. There isn't. For some silly reason wmm's are
    considered Independent. Not true. Independents know what they think.
    wmm's don't They simply follow the leader. Boehner is a prime example.
    If you agree with him then you are a "]worthless meddling moderate.

    Puke.

    That is collectivism in a nutshell. Rich or poor doesn't matter. It's all
    about central planning.

    The irrelevancy can be sped up if the liberals would go away. Obama and his minions have done more to rally the conservative base than anyone.

    Has it ever occurred to you, that people who are rich, may have just worked harder than you to get there?

    Leftism is just the politics of envy and jealously, it is an utterly reprehensible ideology.

    I think both ends need to go away. Liberals believe everyone is entitled to everything and conservatives believe everyone must adhere with their brand of religious slavery.

    Both stagnate the progress of the nation. Both destroy individual liberty. Both rely on emotional agitprop to obtain votes.

    The democrat and republican parties need to be outright dismantled, destroyed and never again allowed to exist. There should be no party. All parties should be pushed aside for statesmen, not politicians. Initiate term limits on everyone. No more lifer congressmen ruining the lives of all the younger voters in their districts by adhereing with their geriatric support base.

    Two criminal parties. Both should be removed from power totally.

    It’s all relative. I assumed because you are on this forum all the time you make a decent salary/wage. This means you are making more than someone else who might just be suffering. This means your level of wealth is depriving them of their opportunity to obtain wealth. If I may make a suggestion… if you care this much about the poor, get off this forum and get out there and start spreading some of your wealth. And the poor are asking bailouts and have been for decades. It’s called welfare.

    I agree that there is not a dimes worth of difference between democrats and Republicans in Washington today, and ousting them ALL is what needs to be done. However, I realize that if we don't win seats, we will never be able to effect the change that needs to be made. If you have two parties that are split 50/50, and one of those parties split, now you have to recruit 17% away from the party that doesn't split to make it 33/33/33, else the party that doesn't split runs away with every election. That is my fear. Unfounded?

    You’re right. In today’s America it is an illusion to wish that people earn their own and pay for their own. It has now become the standard for everyone to expect that someone else is going to provide for them. Even in light of all the failing government programs in an effort to provide for people, folks still look to the government to provide more. So, in light of illusions, do you really believe the government will be successful in provide you healthcare?

    I can understand to a limited degree.

    The big problem is if everybody's is on the government dime, then nobody is producing everything. If nobody is producing anything, then there is no money coming in to support people. So eventually things will collapse.

    I don't understand why people can't see that.

    This why being independent is important.

    Please explain to me how the Nazis and the Fascists are left wing.

    Don't use the name "National Socialist". The Nazis had no singular economic policy and Hitler, while he did espouse socialism, obviously was not espousing what is normally thought of as socialism.

    Literally everything you mentioned there is NOT part of the Tea Party platform, they think Christianity should be the official state religion, Sharia should be banned, they are vehemently pro-life, and of course they hate gay people. You said you support everyone of the Tea Party's "Core Beliefs" while at the same time stating beliefs that entirely contradict the Tea Parties core beliefs.

    Not true. This is not a core belief of the Tea Party nor has it
    ever been. Neither is hating homosexuals. These are myths
    concocted by the media and perpetuated by it's minions.

    Where the heck did you get this? The Tea Party does not want a Christian state nor any other religion. They are largely libertarian, so in that they do NOT hate gays. The core of the Tea Party beliefs have nothing to do with religion or one’s lifestyle; they are primarily founded on the grounds of smaller and limited government. It was in response to what they believed to be overreach of government power due to Obamacare. In that, they stand for individual liberty; that, as long as you are harming no one, you should be allowed to live your life as you please without government involvement. That means if you are gay you can be gay, if you are atheist you are free to be that, if you smoke pot you should be allowed to smoke pot, if you don’t want to purchase health insurance you don’t have to… all of these things without government stepping in and dictating it to you.

    How is it you folks have allowed this leftist propaganda blur you from the truth? Do you really hate people that differ from your views that much?

    I'll just say this. Many people believe that the wealthiest amongst us, have a certain 'disconnect' with the majority of the 'not so wealthy'. Many say they're 'out of touch' , so to speak. Now, in MY opinion, I think that it's POSSIBLE that no all of the wealthiest people fit under this umbrella but, a very large percentage DO. It seems that THEY always think that THEY that THEY 'worked' so much harder than everybody else to get where they are, and have what they have. THEY tend to belittle anyone else who may or may not have been as fortunate as THEY were, and THEY sum it up to their own brilliance, 'hard work' (cough cough), or some other product of their superior intellect (in their own self delusional and snobbish minds). This isn't always the case but, it is very, very often. THEY seem to dub themselves as 'better' that the rest of us, and tend to look down on anybody who doesn't fit their criteria. Hence, the 'disconnect' the perpetuates itself with the accumulation of more and more wealth. It feeds itself, and further isolates they and those 'other people' we hear being referred to very, very often. (IE Mitt Romney, or his wife referencing those 'other people').

    I think this is most of what occurs, and the more money, the bigger the disconnect, IN MY OPINION.

    Oh, I see. The wealthiest amongst us are simply 'better planners', always and forever. The big boys standing around in tents banging their collective champagne glasses during their latest acquisition of whatever corporate merger they're toasting themselves to (while the exhausted and overworked people INSIDE the facility are not a part of), are 'better planners' Hmm..you may have a point there.

    ...and the wealthiest who continually whine about high taxes, not enough 'corporate welfare' are called other things. If it's all 'relative', then why would any high dollar recipient ever worry about anything except themselves? They don't. Instead, they often claim it's those 'poor people' that are doing all the damage to our economy. I reject that philosophy. I think it's exactly the opposite, and I'm on this forum to express my opinion, just like YOU and everybody else, Sir. Poor people aren't the problem. It's the absolute inverse and their mentalities. Poor people didn't crash Wall Street, or fly in own personal jets to ask for bailouts (WELFARE). The wealthy DID do that. You have a fine day.
