OK, this may be the most bizarre use of Connie Mack Stadium...ever
I meant to post this earlier in the week but when you have blonde-trolling Bensalem cops and what not, it's hard to keep your focus. Anyway, yet another wave of Tea Party people descended on Capitol Hill this week, desperate to stop government healthcare because it might reduce their government healthcare. Anyway, the Kentucky Tea Partiers got to meet with staffers of their state's junior senator, non-re-election-seeking ex-Phillies pitcher Jim Bunning. The event was mildly newsworthy because the Tea Party folks said the usual stuff about our first Muslim president and his phony birth certificate, but what stuck me is that this all played out in front of a massive picture of Bunning's old stomping grounds, Connie Mack Stadium/Shibe Park up at 21st and Lehigh. Weird. If only tiny two-dimensional-Dick-Allen-on-the-wall could talk, just so he could say, "Damn, you people are all bat-guano crazy!"

Yes, why is Palin relevant RG? You tell me.
----} And no Krugman did not do it first. {------ LOL! So, here we have a new twist: "Mommy, mommy, but they did it second." And RG - you're the one who's ducking here. The post is of a video of a bunch of conspiracy-minded "tea baggers" going from calling Obama Hitler to railing about armed IRS agents to calling Obama a Muslim to saying he isn't the president because he doesn't have a birth certificate. An in response, you start whining about Krugman. LOL! Yeah, I'm ducking issues. Hilarious, RG, just hilarious.— Talking point sleuth- "Yes, why is Palin relevant RG? You tell me." She's not to me, only those poor souls who look to politicos for leaders and solutions. Even if you agree with the idea that pols can solve problems, she's not an officer holder and does not vote on the actual bills being proposed.— RG
- And youn are lamely trying to say that these people are influencing health care reform. Once again, trying to paper over the failures of your party to pass said reform, even though they hold the requisite seats in Congress, the presidency, who also used primetime spots to sell the bill to the people, and supporters such as Krugman who write for widely circulated papers. But its these people who are influencing the debate. That really is a pathetically sad excuse for an argument. And you still have not answered any of the questions I asked of you, but are isntead still trying to me to the people on the video. Everyone sees right through your hypocrisy and fradulence. You don't have the intellectual capacity to argue or debate the issue, so you demonize your opponents.— RG
- ---} Yes, a fringe movement {--- LOL! Fringe movement. The former vice-presidential candidate for the Republican Party (and likely the next Republican Party presidential candidate/American president?), prominent elected Republican Party officials, and hugely influential fundamentalist religious leaders with tens of millions of followers = a "fringe movement." Wow! The problem is these days, RG, that being an extremist, conspiracy-minded nutjob doesn't equal fringe in today's Republican Party. The Republican Party is doing everything it can to foment this lunacy and to cater to the lunatics. The evidence is overwhelming, and Republican moderate after Republican moderate is talking about how dangerous this is. Yet you, laughable, cling on to the "tea party" movement - no matter how many lunatics are involved, because like you they oppose the notion of government providing health insurance to people who can't afford it otherwise. We have the most unequal system of health care in the developed world, RG. I'm really happy for you that you can afford good quality health care.— Talking point sleuth
- Amazing poll from Rasmussen - 23% would vote for the not-yet-existent tea bagger party, trailing Dems by 13%, but exceeding the GOP by 5%. That's Palin's party-to-be, RG.
- "The Republican Party is doing everything it can to foment this lunacy and to cater to the lunatics." I couldnt care less what the Republicans do, they cannot determine the outcome of health care reform. The Dems have the votes, stop whining and use them. Or face up to the fact that the Dems have done a poor job of selling their side of the story and that most Americans dont want this "reform", no matter how many appeals to emotion you make. "I'm really happy for you that you can afford good quality health care." No your not, you are insanely jealous of anyone who has something more than you. Its why you support redistributive policies, under the guise of moral righteousness, so you can game the system in your favor. Government fiat over real life results. Its failed over and over again, but keep trying. But heck, when it benefitted you to ignore laws and hire an undocumented worker for an illegal wage, the free market didn't seem so bad.— RG
- You make the charger over and over, RG, I guess out of some persecution complex, but I'll clarify yet again. I'm not "tying" you to the conspiracy theorists in the video. I'm laughing at your hilarious attempts to downplay the percentage of lunatics on the anti-health care reform side of the debate. The Dems aren't "my party." And clearly, failure to pass health care reform will mostly be due to the inability of Dems to present a winning case as to why it is necessary. But you're denying the influence of lunatics who are nothing more than haters or extremists or blind Republican partisans - and the evidence if overwhelming. Just watch the video, RG. If you really think that the group of people in that video are somehow an anomaly - and aren't really reflective of a significant chunk of the "tea bag" movement - more power to you. The wonders of denial are truly amazing. It is a very good natural defense mechanism.— Talking point sleuth
- "That's Palin's party-to-be, RG." Still don't see the relevance of this. As polls once showed Hillary clinton to be a shoo in for the Dem candidate. Is this the best you can do to show Palin's relevancy in regards to health care?— RG
- An absolute must watch for anyone who, like RG, continues to believe that the Republican Party isn't catering to lunatics. Absolutely hilarious. http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-december-16-2009/obama-s-socialist-christmas-ornament-program— Talking point sleuth
- "But you're denying the influence of lunatics who are nothing more than haters or extremists or blind Republican partisans - and the evidence if overwhelming." This is not rocket science, these people neither influence nor represent me. I oppose it for my own reasons, some of which may or may not overlap. Yet you still try to push this collectivism meme, which is the antithesis of libertarian thought.— RG
Since MSL puts so much faith in Rasmussen "Monday, December 14, 2009 Email to a Friend ShareThisAdvertisement Fifty-six percent (56%) of U.S. voters now oppose the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the highest level of opposition found - reached three times before - in six months of polling. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 40% of voters favor the health care plan. Perhaps more significantly, 46% now Strongly Oppose the plan, compared to 19% who Strongly Favor it." WOW!!! 56% of U.S. voters oppose the healthcare plan - that's an awful lot of lunatics isn't it TPS??— bird11- ---}}} his is not rocket science, these people neither influence nor represent me. {{{--- I never said they did, RG (outside of my joke about the dude in the video sounding like you - because he was ranting about taxes). So why do you continue to think that I do?— Talking point sleuth
Comment removed.- LOL! And where did I say that everyone who opposes the Dems' healtchare plan is a lunatic, birdie? You guys really need to get some help with those persecution complexes.— Talking point sleuth
