And good riddance. I would be happy to let them go with just two conditions: No nukes, no slavery.

The Tea Party thinks Trickle Down tax cuts we gave to the very wealthiest 1%, both in 1981 and then again in 2001, worked and delivered broad prosperity.

The Tea Party thinks corporations like mega-banks, health insurers and BP Oil, can be deregulated and they will police themselves.

Unable to absorb recent history right in front of their noses, Tea Party voters live in a world of delusion and get their cracked information from Fox News. They think Obama wasn't born in USA, is a Muslim, and Bush found WMD in Iraq. They are totally misinformed sheep of a far right wing, which has systematically gutted the middle class over the last 30 years.

Many of these dupes live in Texas. Who else would vote for George Bush 3 times, Rick Perry and Louie Gohmert? It's comical...

And the Dem/Rep clones believe the scam that they've been running on this country for generations will never be replaced. You scratch mine I'll scratch yours forever and the voters will never figure it out. Tick tick my friend, you are running out of affordable credit lines.
Balkingpoints replies:

@realtimecoffee ; You mean credit lines like the budget Bill Clinton balanced after Reagan & Bush 1 ran record deficits?

You're welcome to defy the last decade & believe that Trickle Down tax cuts that benefit the wealthiest Americans, worked to create jobs and prosperity. Good luck convincing anyone with their eyes open.

Never was a balanced budget Balk, that was just smoke and mirrors written by Newt Gingrich and signed by Clinton. Federal Debt has increased EVERY year since at least the late 1950s.And you are free to ignore that neither dominate party has any current plan to change that.

To Balkingpoints: Well said my friend. Tea Party supporters will go down in history as the dumbest and most gullible voting against their own best interests. Follow the money..they are backed by the Billionaire Koch Brothers who spoon feed them lies so that the Tea Party supporters/voters vote in the Best Interest of the Billionaire Koch Brothers and NOT for the middle class!!

Can't be just folks waking up right Hope? Has to be some dastardly plot by some evil rich guy. You and your Republican clones are in for a rough ride. Question is when will one party stab the other in the back and embrace change? Might be too late for that already though. Neither dominate party has earned the trust of voters for generations.

Obama promised he wouldn't raise taxes on the working class. He lied.
Obama promised to control spending. He lied.
Obama promised to he wouldn't "mortgage our children's future under a mountain of debt." He lied.
Obama promised "an unprecedented level of openness" in his administration. He lied.
Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, ain't gonna happen.

No, you're being lied to by Fox News. Obama did not "aise taxes on the working class". The 2009 stimulus which you kicked & screamed and said didn't help stop a Bush freefalling economy losing 500,000 jobs per month - cut taxes on workers. Along with stopping the hemorrhaging job loses.

The top 1% are holding several trillion in tax cuts from 1981 and 2001, that they never reinvested back in America. Then we blew 1 trillion in a cooked war in Iraq, that you no doubt cheerled. Wake up.

As if Bush did any better
Get real
Oh, and he didn't raise taxes on the working class. Taxes are lower now than under the GOP Presidents.

And your beloved Dems could have stopped any of it at any time Balk. Wonder why they never voted No? You know the Dem/Rep clones just announced 6 more months of more of the same, literally so good governmnet stewardship doesn't become a campaign issue. That bother you?

Obama had his hands full when he came into office. He had to clean the economic mess the village idiot from Texas left the country in. Now the GOP seems to have amnesia. Not enough to invite "W" to be a speaker at their convention though.

Texans are stupid when it comes down to it. The people who died at the Alamo are most likely looking at Texas and going "This is what we died for!" and regretting their deaths.

The guys at the Alamo probably regret later deciding to join the United States in the first place. After you get past that mistake everything else was the inevitable result of our two party system.

"That's the way the democratic process is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be a bunch of guys in a smoky room in Austin picking the next senator," Cruz added.


So Cruz has a handle on how to get elected in a democratic process.

Let's see if elected, he can figure out the Democracy means more than just the other Tea Party guys in the room.

Would he be someone that knows what working, compromising Democracy is?

Or would he just be another Tea Party, Mr. Potato-head/Parrot and grid lock the system? Like we need more of them in our system.

Compromise? The art of making sure no one gets what they want. The Dep/Rep scam has worked that angle for years, does anyone like the result?

Don't worry too much. I'm originally from Texas and I can tell you that the lunatics have been running Texas for many years now. Luckily I escaped that backwards and intolerant hellhole It is just amazing what a distorted sense of reality they have there about the world at large.
