    That the left's favorite tactic. They don't want people to actually pay any attention to what they are doing, so they do their best to create as big of a distraction that they possibly can.

    Apparently not. Is it worth it to give people a better life? It is if you value life in the first place
    and then there's this......why in the hell would I give away what I worked for? By your own admission, you are a socialist wanting everything for free.
    Tell me, have you donated three of your paychecks in a row to feed some stranger on a corner? Have you donated a months worth of paychecks to the local church to feed their hungry? Have you signed your paycheck and donated it to your local bank?
    You are more like a conservative than you agree. Cognitive dissonance?

    It's responses like this by lock step liberals that let's us know they are all about Crony Capitalism and anything that threatens the Big Government / Big Business rule over Americans is to be attacked.

    Finally something both sides of big government can get together on. Big money hates individuals having anything to do with politics. The people shouldn't be allowed to interfere with who the corporate interests pay to elect!!! That is bad for the upper class. Well the next election, I promise the biggest propaganda war of all time against those who would end the free money gravy train for the wealthy aristocracy. Let's stomp out the last vestiges of the middle class once and for all!!!.

    Valid question. You could ask the same thing of liberals. They have taken over the Democrats, making lap dogs out of blue dogs.

    As for the Tea Party, they defend the party platform better than the Republicans who wrote it and "say" they stand by it. So, why don't the RINOs just become Democrats and leave the Republican party to those who actually believe in it?

    True, they are still here, but in what capacity? Are they on the verge of becoming like the so-called "Reform Party"?

    Under the same guise as the sequester cuts. The majority of the nation is politically illiterate. Much to Neo-Liberal advantage. For as long as they're illiterate. Socially destroying programs such as the ACA can continue to be implemented.

    I've almost lost my political spirit to fight. I see no reason for fighting when mainstream Democrats and Republicans support each other, and likewise the American People support the mainstream quo.

    This, in spite of the fact that they hate the mainstream which makes me angry most of all.

    Ladies and Gentleman, if you hate the mainstream so much, why not support the "tea party"? If for no other reason than to find an alternative, solution to government? What about the mainstream is so beneficial?

    Government benefits and programs? They won't go away, they'll simply be readjusted to fit into the economy. "The devil you know"? They're still devils!
    Yes, alternatives have the dice pool that could turn out into sheer terror(1930's Germany) but we once rolled the dice for the Founding Fathers.

    If we're unwilling to fight for our nation's beliefs, then we should no longer call it America, we should no longer feel passionate about this country or anything at all. We should be content with being a little, insignificant nation in world affairs.

    These are the same people who predicted a Republican wouldn't win the White House for 20 years after Watergate. All it took was 4 years of Jimmy Carter to remedy that.

    "...overwhelming majority of the nation didn't want a shutdown..."

    Taxcutter says:
    But they want some active resistance to ObamaTax.

    The one where everything was funded and they requested a 1 year delay of the individual mandate to reflect the same delay given to businesses.

    You know. The one where Reid and Obama said they wouldn't negotiate with hostage takers.

    You know. The very same plan that Democrats are talking with Republicans about RIGHT NOW.

    (*)(*)(*)(*)ing hypocrites.

    You claim the only reason anyone noticed the shutdown was because of liberal media, yet I recall the neo-cons protesting the shutdown by removing blockades for WWII vets to visit their memorial. I recall the right wing media going all crazy about how the parks are closed and harassing park rangers who were working without guaranteed pay. It seems the right got more bent out of shape about the shutdown than the rest of the country. However, the rest of the country must have noticed because the polls showed them blaming the Tea Party Republicans for the shutdown and their approval ratings dropped dramatically.

    Probably because the Palin bashing thread ran its course for a week or so.

    Obama ran the last election with Obamacare on his platform and he was re-elected. That tells me there are more people in this country that liked Obama's platform more than Romney's.

    Hell, not only that but immediately after their Political Messiah was campaigned into office by the mainstream media in 2008 the idiots among that faction actually wrote articles predicting that the Republican Party would be a non player during Obama's first term and that conservatism was finished in this nation. Ahem . . . they got it wrong. The same idiot faction predicted that the Tea Party would have no impact on the 2010 mid term elections. They got it wrong.

    At the rate that Obama is simultaneously pissing all over this nation and -- via the ongoing NSA revelations -- the entire damn world I am beginning to suspect that even a mainstream media backed Hillary Clinton won't have political cachet enough to get elected in 2016.

    She's got a lot of baggage. She was fired from her Watergate post for lying and unprofessional behavior. It just gets worse from there. Then again, the media will do all it can to cover her (*)(*)(*)(*) with rose petals.

    Oh definitely! If Hillary does decide to run the mainstream media is going to all but outright worship her and perhaps for no other reason than that by the end of 2009 a great many leftwing journalists and pundits probably began REALLY regretting having dumped her in 2008 in favor of Obama, who by then (the end of 2009) was clearly permanently out of his depth as president.

    Of course they pretended that this wasn't so but if you read between the lines it was apparent that a great many of them were experiencing a touch of buyer's remorse even then. They only reluctantly campaigned for Obama again in 2012; and probably as much because they didn't want to officially admit that they had been wrong all along as because they actually disliked Romney.

    I understand the Tea Party members think they are trying to save America, but your elected officials are going about it in a rather backwards way. They are focusing on the debt when we need to focus more on job creation and focusing more on ending social welfare than ending corporate welfare. The Koch brothers and friends want more of the tax payers money, that's why the Tea Party has become the Koch brother's puppets.

    I run a business. I loved the shutdown. I wish it was still going on. My business actually picked up by more than 1/3 during the shutdown. Furthermore, I love gridlock. Gridlock is the ideal business condition. Most of the nation didn't want the shutdown, but most of the nation really doesn't want Obamacare. If the shutdown got rid of Obamacare, then the nation would have rejoiced.

    I recall World War II vets protesting the closure of their memorial. And they should. The government supposedly didn't have funds to monitor memorials which they do not monitor anyways, but they could afford to pay park rangers to install barricades, and patrol memorials which were never patrolled before. Yes, that was Obama's finest hour. No one noticed the shutdown so he did everything in his power to hurt the little people. That is some tyrant we have there. If they had a shutdown and we didn't have a President trying to harm fragile old men who risked their lives to preserve the liberty of the entire world, then no one would have noticed. I stand corrected.
