Sarah Palin and the racist Tea Party Movement vs. Obama and Democracy (w/Video) [Ellie Light?]
Philly2Philly ^ | February 9, 2010 | Dennis Bakay

Sarah Palin and The Tea Party movement are making many headlines these days as they fortify their position as the key opposition against President Barack Obama.

Make no mistake about it. Sarah Palin is going to run for president in 2012. And, the millions of morons who follow her with every beck and call will vote for her. She'll get a lot of votes. And, she very well could unseat President Obama in 2012.

Sarah Palin has now captivated the hearts and minds of conservatives across the country by being the face of the divisive Tea Party movement. She spoke at the same convention, where a former Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo gave a speech calling for literacy tests for voters.

The Tea Baggers are gaining a lot of momentum because the unemployment rate isn't going down anytime soon. This is not Obama's fault though. He inherited an economy on the brink of disaster, which was losing 750,000 jobs per week in January of last year. Why was this Obama's fault? How could it be when he didn't even take office until the third week of January?

Pretty much every economist predicted that the jobless rate would continue for a while and that unemployment wouldn't decrease until the second half of 2010. Things are playing out as predicted.

Do I think all of Obama's policies are all right? Absolutely not. The first time homebuyer tax credit and cash for clunkers were great programs for kicking some life into a lifeless economy. However, you'd have to be under the influence of paint fumes to defend most of the bank bailouts at this point.

Sarah Palin is riding the backs of angry conservatives and racists who want Obama out of the Oval office either because he's a Democrat or an African American. She knows fully well who she's appeasing and has less shame than an ambulance chaser.

Ultimately Sarah Palin and the Tea Baggers are no more for "democracy" than any other Republicans. What they want is to see their own kind in the captain's seat and it has nothing to do with freedom, improving the economy, or stopping terrorism. It all boils down to keeping their policies in place and bringing back the good ole days of the 2000's when taxes were cut for the wealthy.

Which, ultimately benefits a very small percentage.

That race card sure is dog-eared these days. BTW, did Congressman Tancredo call for literacy tests or proof of citizenship?

I guess he feels like he knows what can happen because he and millions of other morons who hate personal freedom elected our current president.

“Millions of morons”? Three words that pretty much sum up the leftists’ view of ANY opposition to the mad march to marxism.

And...Thank God for those millions of morons. They are the only thing standing between 0bama and his successful transformation of the US into a third world sinkhole of socialism.

It’s time to take back the country.

"The Tea Baggers "

like this guy continue to dismiss ordinary American citizens with lewd characterizations and call them the "haters", "morons", etc, etc.

If Progressives were not so destructive in their evil and self-righteousness they would be a joke.

If you prefer Dennis, we could skip elections and your ilk could have it out with the “millions of morons” a-la 1861. Winner takes all, shall we?

The title is incorrect. It should be “Sarah Palin And The Tea Party Movement For Restoring The American Republic vs. Obama The Usurper And The Party Historically Supported By Southern Slave Owners And KKK Members (check out Senator Byrd’s [D, WVa] ties to the KKK) Who Now Use Insincere Race-Baiting to Advance a Statist, Collectivist, Socialist and Communist Agenda To Put All Political Power In The Hands Of A Ruling Elite Who Think They Should Be A Modern Nobility.”

Uh jackass! This is February of this year not February of last year? The inheritance garbage doesn't fit anymore. It is time for Zerobama to take credit for what he has produced!!!!!!

A new Pew Research Center study provides evidence that Republican voters are smarter about current affairs, issues and news:

Republicans, on average, answered one more question correctly than Democrats (5.9 vs. 4.9 correct). These differences are partly a reflection of the demographics of the two groups; Republicans tend to be older, well educated and male, which are characteristics associated with political and economic knowledge. Still, even when these factors are held constant, Republicans do somewhat better than Democrats on the knowledge quiz.

OK, let me get this straight:

1) He refers to anyone who would vote for Palin as a "moron"

2) He makes a point of calling the tea party folks "tea baggers"...which is meant to insult them by comparing them to a private practice of some homosexual men.

3) And then he proposes that Palin is playing to bigotry.

I ask my fellow Freepers, how can we fail to be swayed by such brilliance?

The ... cash for clunkers (was a) great program for kicking some life into a lifeless economy

Yes, because what better way to kick start the used car market...and all of the peripheral businesses associated with it such as parts suppliers and repair shops just to name a few...than by destroying the very product they rely on.

Idiots

I disagree with this obvious mind-numbed Obot. Taxes were not cut for the wealthy alone. Taxes were cut for those of us that PAID taxes. You paid taxes? You received tax relief. See how that works?
The IRS used to stand for the Internal Revenue Service but now it stands for Income Redistribution Service.

When are Zero’s supporters going to realize they elected an unqualified, America-hating statist and stop making excuses for this empty suit? I realize this is a rhetorical question at this point, but I still had to ask it.
