Where was the Tea Party when Bush spent more money than any president ever?

There was no tea party when Reagan was blowing up spending.

There was no tea party when Clinton was in office.

There was no tea party when Bush was increasing spending, cutting taxes, not funding wars and saddling us with paying for 30 thousand disabled vets.

Notice the tea party did not appear until we had an African American President.

And then they claim they hate him for his policies, and are wrong on every accusation, such as claiming they are paying more in taxes when in fact they are paying less.

And some of the things they say they hate him for were Republican proposals to oppose Hillarycare in the 90s, but Obama is evil for it.

This isn’t rocket science.

Wow - what racially charged question! Look Your Majesty, the Obama administration in 2009 outspent by a factor of 10 the over the Bush administration's 2007 budget year. That is a fact. Bush got hammered by conservatives for failing to restrain spending further and that's arguably one of the big reasons the Republicans lost the congress in 2006. It's just that at that point, the TEA party hadn't formed because the Republicans of that time, disappointing as they were, didn't rise to the level of recklessness we've experienced this last year or so. One other thing before you tar Bush with the racist brush - you might remember that in 2004 he launched a huge funding initiative to help HIV and AIDS afflicted people in Africa. He is also working with former president Clinton to raise funds to assist the people of Haiti. He didn't have to do either of those things. I'm a white guy, and I used to like our current president on a personal level. It wasn't his terrible policies that lost my affection for him, it was the dishonorable way he went about pursuing them. Does that make me a racist? I give you my solemn promise that if he were white, it wouldn't change my opinion of him one tiny bit. It's not always (or even usually) about race.

I 'm getting real sick of these Tea Baggers saying they don't like big government spending. They love big government spending, as long as the spending is done by a white president, and the spending gives them some vague sense of pride that they can pretend they're better then anyone else. That way they don't have to buy Viagra. Look at the defense budget, or the NASA budget Bush waged 2 wars, and wanted to go back to the moon, and Mars, and still cut taxes, all while the (so called) small government Tea Baggers were no where to be found.

BTW If there were tea parties during the Bush administration, maybe Fox news wouldn't have covered it, but according to the Fox news cult members MS NBC would have.

Supporting Ron Paul. Both Bush and Obama have spent us into a very bad situation, but there were most definitely protests against big spending before Obama was elected.

(And put your race card away. It's way overplayed and it doesn't excuse everything Obama does!)

Bush left behind a 10 trillion debt

... adder Clinton left behind a 6 trillion debt

Nope Bush did what they wanted, create two wars. Obama is trying to help people, not kill them. Which is another reason why they hate him. Also, i don't see how people can say, It's all obama's fualt, when this isn't even blaming Bush! what sheep roam these questions?!!!

boy that was a good one but your wright but the rububs will stick by bush even if he cut there mothers throat all youhear is obama obama isnt funny how they let one man get under there skin he must have a lot of power to have them shaken in there shoes all i know is 260 thousand jobs added and there right bush is gone because he didnt do it obama did all we got from bush was 911

Try again... your bias is showing. This current administration has spent more in two years than all of the previous administrations combined. We now are spending 90% of our GDP on debt. Nice try, but Bush could be the president for 200 years and would not have spent the money that this clown has.

The debt when Bush took office was already almost 7 trillion dollars.

All the democratic leaders were in favor of going into Iraq between 1998 and 2003.

"Hateing" is not a word.

I have lots of where were the tea party when questions.

the tea party is an opportunistic group that only serves themselves.

I am an American Assh0le, and proud of it. I find myself in the middle of both political parties.
