Tea party trivializes themselves again with impeachment talk

[paul alan]

These sad people seem bent on trivializing themselves off the charts.

Most Republicans are turned off by the tea party insistence on playing the juvenile role of whining and ranting to gain attention.

Tea party has no support - of course - for their impeachment nonsense, and little recognizable support for the other juvenalities: defunding Obamacare, shutting down Government, or holding the debt limit.

But noise seems important to this anomaly, more than achievement.

Gov. Bobby Jindal rejects Obama impeachment talk

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal went on the record over the weekend to reject GOP chatter about impeaching President Obama.



"Look, I reject that kind of talk," Jindal said Sunday of impeachment chatter, speaking on NBC's Meet the Press. "The reality is I didn't like it when the left spent eight years trying to delegitimize President Bush, calling to question his election. I don't think we should be doing that to President Obama."

Youre right about one thing, there are many traditional republicans turned off by teaparty antics and lack of any meaningful legislation to help the middle class on down in this country.

[Mainecoons]

Could you cite where the Tea Party is officially calling for impeachment?

Some individuals are, both TP and non TP. I know of no formal TP movement to impeach.

Not that it isn't deserved, but poor Nixon was the last guy to which a serious standard of impeachment and removal from office was applied. Clinton directly and undeniably committed perjury in a Federal court and got away with it. Obama has done everything from using the IRS against his enemies to using the government to spy on journalists and everyone else, has published fake documents, has lied through his teeth and so on. He makes Nixon look like a piker. Yet it is clear he is unimpeachable.

So don't get in a lather over it, it won't happen and shouldn't. America need to experience more McJobism and loss of medical care as a result of Obama to learn their lesson. Let's keep this unmitigated disaster in the White House as a teaching experience.

[Chris]

Of course the establishment moderate basically liberal Reps you all like are against the Tea parties who are running them out of office.

If the Tea Parties were triavial as you suppose why are you whining about them?

Gee, Paul, I am so happy that you decided to help the conservatives. They desperately need one more far-left denizen of LibWorld to help them succeed. Oh, did you happen to search for Tea Party National Headquarters or Tea Party National Committee. Try it. Even a citizen of LibWorld can do it.

I don't know why liberals insist on trivializing themselves in their race to tyranny.

[paul alan]

Jindal ... flatly rejected the notion as counterproductive.

Bobby, isn't everything the tea party does 'counterproductive'?

People support the tea party principles.

http://freebeacon.com/the-tea-party-lives/


A plurality of Americans support “Tea Party principles,” according to a poll released today.The poll, commissioned byTheTeaParty.net (http://www.theteaparty.net/) and conducted by NSON, Inc., found that 48 percent of Americans support the principles of “limited government,” “free markets,” and “personal responsibility.”
The poll also found that 21 percent of Americans support “progressive, liberal principles” of “big government,” “higher taxes,” and “more spending.”
The poll explicitly tied the conservative principles to the Tea Party, said Niger Innis, chief strategist for TheTeaParty.net.
According to the poll, nearly half of people in the Midwest, South, and West expressed support for Tea Party principles, while just over 40 percent of people in the northeast—the country’s “liberal stronghold,” said Innis—expressed support.
“The mainstream media wrote our obituary after the November elections. Unfortunately for them, the tea party isn’t going anywhere,” Todd Cefaratti, founder of TheTeaParty.net, said in a statement.
Innis cited the poll as evidence that conservative leaders need to “embrace the Tea Party principles.”
If they do so, he said, “They will win elections.”

You're revealing your ignorance of the Tea Parties, Paul. I'm a member, we're organized at the voting district level, no higher. It's a leaderless, distributed, grassroots movement. The best analogy I can come up with to help you would be OWS.

[Mainecoons]

Still running away from the question, Paul?

I think we can conclude we caught you making stuff up. Don't worry, that is SOP among the liberals here. You will feel right at home.

[nic34]

Don't mind the local conservatives Paul, most resort to answering questions by asking their own.

Dodging my question, Paul?See post#25 :grin:

[Mainecoons]

Oh, I'm sure nothing. All those IRS folks coming and going at the White House while this was going on. They probably talked about basketball. No doubt the Justice department spied on journalists and ran guns with Obama completely ignorant.

Yes, there's a petition to impeach there. I'm sure Paul appreciates your help.

Don't get your shorts in a knot, genius. No one is going to impeach your half-black Messiah. Nope, you get three more years of economic decline, constant screw ups, and maybe a war or two.

Enjoy the ride.

[patrickt]

So you're saying that OWS was funded by the Koch Bros.?

Of course not. I was funded by the federal government and a convicted felon, George Soros.

I'm sure Paul is the local idiot somewhere but he's ashamed to tell us where? Berkeley? Detroit? Chicago?

Wow! Blad finds a posting on someone Facebook page and believes it's significant.

I do like the liberal defense, which started with President Clinton, of "he hasn't been convicted yet." Blad, the King doesn't have to directly order. Merely muttering, "Can no one rid me of these damned conservatives," will get the job done.

[bladimz]

Even worse, poor Paul was shown up by a fellow liberal in looking stuff up.

:rofl:

[paul alan]

Conservatives say tea party is not one of them.

If not, what then?


:)

[Mainecoons]

Oh, BTW Blad, you might find this interesting. Once again, the British press actually looks at things in depth:


'Impeachable Offenses' consists largely of a laundry list of well-worn conservative complaints about the White House and its current occupant. But unlike quick-hit blogs and short investigative series that have dominated right-wing grievances against President Obama, it defends its collected beef with more than 60 pages of footnotes and a systematic connect-the-dots exercise that the president's defenders will find troublesome.

As I've noted before, I think there are plenty of reasons why impeachment is warranted, but also I continue to believe that it would just make a martyr of a very bad POTUS and it is far better to let the cascading disaster of his presidency play out as a lesson to all.

Pardon son I suspect it is the idiot Mainecoons that shows his ignorance of tea parties - he's looking for something called an "official tea party response....

And he says it's not Ted Cruz.

Can you help him?

[Mainecoons]

Gosh, Paul, you couldn't even provide one reference to back your claim up. You weren't even able to respond to the question in any significant way.

Did you thank Blad for helping you?

Fourteen posts and you're already showing your inability to respond to a reasonable question with anything other than personal insults.

Nah, there might be personal attacks coming from both sides, but the pattern I pointed out, flame bait followed by attack, is unique to a few progressive members here.

So you can't tell your friend where to get an "official" tea party response without being sarcastic?

You can't even tell him who the leader of his tea party is?

Well, try sarcasm ......

Really should follow your source to primary sources to get the real story instead of the spin. The actual study is summarized in its abstracts as"


Background The Tea Party, which gained prominence in the USA in 2009, advocates limited government and low taxes. Tea Party organisations, particularly Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks, oppose smoke-free laws and tobacco taxes.

By that loose reasoning we can say the origins of the Tea Parties are to be found in the American Revolution. Both advocate liberty. Q.E.D.

[Mainecoons]

BTW, I see that the foul-mouth attack, like so much of the black racism these days, comes right from the top:


President Obama: GOP Opposition to Stimulus ‘Helped to Create the Tea-Baggers’By Julie Percha
Three days after he decried the lack of civility in American politics, President Obama is quoted in a new book about his presidency referring to the Tea Party movement using a derogatory term with sexual connotations.
In Jonathan Alter’s “The Promise: President Obama, Year One,” President Obama is quoted in an November 30, 2009, interview saying that the unanimous vote of House Republicans vote against the stimulus bills “set the tenor for the whole year … That helped to create the tea-baggers and empowered that whole wing of the Republican Party to where it now controls the agenda for the Republicans.”
Tea Party activists loathe the term “tea baggers,” which has emerged in liberal media outlets and elsewhere as a method of mocking the activists and their concerns.

So you depend on an opinion piece for facts.

Fact, Koch's donated funds. Fact, to FreedomWorks. Fact, to distribute to local, voting district-organized tea parties. Fact, each got a small amount to do with as they pleased.

Why wouldn't the Koch's contribute to a movement that seeks the same things they do.

[Mainecoons]

Because it is OK for liberals to spend as much money as they want in supporting their causes and beliefs but for a partisan hack like Paul, it is not OK for conservatives to do the same.

What Paul is showing us, once again, is that liberals only support free speech if it is their free speech. Anything else is a conspiracy against the planet.
