We fought how many three unfunded wars. We are paying for practically everyone in this country without health insurance to go to the emergency room for their health care. Health care that the WHO ranks as 37th in the world. We don't make ANYTHING in this country anymore. Clothes, electronics, autos and everything we gave away. The housing market where I live is so overpriced that it is ridiculous. We charge everything in this country, much more than any foreign country that I have been in. Runaway spending?
The republicans stated publicly when Obama was elected that they were going to block everything he did and that he was going to be a one term president and that is what they attempt to do with everything. How does Harry Reid change that thinking?

Runaway spending? What runaway spending. Your listening to too many Republicans. We're not spending on research for industry because we don't make ANYTHING. We're not spending it on infrastructure, as our bridges and roads are the worst. We're not spending it on education because our kids are not the smartest kids on the block. We're not spending it on mental health. We're not spending it on the poor. We're not spending it on medical as the World Health Organization rates the U.S. 37th in the world. We're not spending it on mass transit as our transit system does not compare to other countries. We're not spending it on environmental issues. So where is the runaway spending?

The TEA party is a corporate sponsored (Koch Brothers) campaign who's sole agenda was to ignore government spending under Bush, and be against it if a black man tries to do the same thing.
Black people in office are anathema to 99.9999% of white members of the tea party.
They have been accused of being racist because of rallies and signs where they talk about how Obama is not a real American.
Their slogan "We want our Country Back!" means back under the control of White Men.

Wow! Spoken like a true hard left liberal. The Tea Party is a grass roots organization of fiscally conservative minded people who feel that the government has gotten to big and is to intrusive to the values that have made America so great. We, I say that because if I were to align myself politically, I am a TeaBagger, believe in the Constitution as written by the Founding Fathers. We believe in a free and vibrant enterprise system. We believe in individual rights and the pursuit of happiness for all individuals. We believe that the States, and not the Federal government, should decide what is best for thier constituents. In a nut shell, we believe that if the Federal Government did what the Constitution framed it out to be, the country as a whole would greatly benefit. Read the Constitution, understand the Constitution, and you understand the Tea Party.

Who are the politicians that are shutting down the government?
Obama!
Obama has refused to even talk to republicans, but he is more than willing to talk to our enemies.
How about all these people who should be voted out so that we could get people into government that are a part of the solution and not part of the problem?
Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, & Kerry to name a few. These life time politicians have done nothing but make millions off U.S. tax payers.
Runaway spending? So where is the runaway spending?
The national debt when Obama took office was $10 trillion, now it is over $16 trillion. You tell me who is (intentionally) wasting our money, with nothing to show for it except a **** load of illegals.

The TEA party is a grass roots campaign who's sole agenda is to bring government spending under control. This is anathema to liberal policy so the left launched a campaign of lies against them that they know that most of their followers are too lazy to actually look for the truth about. They have been accused of being racist with less evidence that they are racist than the Congressional Black Caucus.
