Ummm, Jesus???
True, we share some common ground.
When it comes to safeguarding liberties, it is an issue of beating back the baggers.

Teabaggers are not all Republicans.
It would be a mistake to fall for that misconception.

Only the left thinks the tea partiers are Republicans. No one else.

Only 13 percent of American voters say they are part of the Tea Party movement, a group that has more women than men; is mainly white and Republican and voted for John McCain, and strongly supports Sarah Palin, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.
While voters say 44 - 39 percent that they will vote for a Republican over a Democratic candidate in this November's Congressional elections, if there is a Tea Party candidate on the ballot, the Democrat would get 36 percent to the Republican's 25 percent, with 15 percent for the Tea Party candidate, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds.
By a 28 - 23 percent margin, American voters have a favorable opinion of the Tea Party, with 49 percent who say they don't know enough about the group to form an opinion.
American voter opinion of the Democratic Party is 48 - 33 unfavorable, with opinion of the Republican Party 42 - 33 percent unfavorable.
While 70 percent of all voters are "somewhat dissatisfied" or "very dissatisfied" with the way things are going in America today, 92 percent of Tea Party members are dissatisfied.
Government does too many things better left to businesses and individuals, 54 percent of all voters say, while 42 percent say government is not doing enough. Tea Party members say 83 - 15 percent that government is doing too much.
"The Tea Party movement is mostly made up of people who consider themselves Republicans," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "They are less educated but more interested in politics than the average Joe and Jane Six-Pack and are not in a traditional sense swing voters."
"The Tea Party could be a Republican dream - or a GOP nightmare. Members could be a boon to the GOP if they are energized to support Republican candidates. But if the Tea Party were to run its own candidates for office, any votes its candidate received would to a very great extent be coming from the GOP column," Brown added.
Looking at voters who consider themselves part of the Tea Party movement:
- 74 percent are Republicans or independent voters leaning Republican;
- 16 percent are Democrats or independent voters leaning Democratic;
- 5 percent are solidly independent;
- 45 percent are men;
- 55 percent are women;
- 88 percent are white;
- 77 percent voted for Sen. John McCain in 2008;
- 15 percent voted for President Barack Obama.
While only 33 percent of all voters have a favorable opinion of Sarah Palin, 72 percent of Tea Party members have a favorable opinion of her.
"Overall, this survey paints a picture of the Tea Party movement that encompasses a broad swath of the American middle class, but clearly at this stage one that is a minority group. In essence their numbers equate to about the size of the African-American electorate overall," said Brown.
Only 4 percent of voters making more than $250,000 per year consider themselves part of the Tea Party movement, while percentages among all other age and income groups are close to the 13 percent overall Tea Party affiliation.

Wrong.
All Teabaggers most certainly did not vote for McCain. Many did, but not all.
Many voted for third party candidates.
Some even voted for The Chosen One.
Some did not even participate in the last election at all.
That mis-characterization of the Teabaggers is a fundamental mistake the Douchebaggers made in the first place.
You have no idea who your opposition is.
That 'Obama won' mantra is getting old.
He's not winning now. The belated health care 'victory' and the fact that he must sell the enacted law to Americans proves that.
The magic of the campaign and the euphoria of the election are long gone. You're living in the past.

you right about how many voted for McCain that's why I had to edit it to 94% lol.....you fall in that 6%...and trust me we know who these teabaggers are...Birds of a feather ...

Where did you get the back-edited 94% figure? Perhaps you should compare notes with FLAE before you start throwing out numbers with no sourcing.
Democrats ignored the Tea parties on April 15th last year.
Only when they became a source of political damage did they earn the Teabagger label from the Douchebaggers.
If you know who the Teabaggers are, explain how the Democrats got caught flatfooted by them in the town hall meetings last summer; and again in the November elections Obama desperately wanted Douchebaggers to win in Virginia and New Jersey. And then there's Ted Kennedy's seat in the hands of a *gasp* Republican.
Even now you are dismissive of the Teabaggers.
Apparently you know nothing at all.
I've never been to a Tea Party rally. I have never attended a Tea Party conference. You will find my name on no Tea Party membership list. Hell, I'm not even subscribed to a Tea Party email list. The Teabaggers have no idea I even exist.
But you seem to be sure I am one.

you seem pretty upset for it to be so early in the morning
...When did I say JohnnyO was a teabagger ????are you ??? Never did I say that all people who dislike Obama are teabaggers...Fox ( Glen Beck )news help create the teabagging that we have today..Now the real Teabag movement was more so with Ron Paul, but this hateful crew that we refer to as Teabaggers is something different....what point are you trying to make that because a group of people can disrupt means that you don't know who they are.....???? Hell when you have people show up just to disrupt instead of talk then you will always have problems...does not mean you are clueless to who they are...their actions reveal just who and what they are..question if the teabaggers are so large and great why do they have to lie about how many show up at the rally's ???? Guy i never underestimate the opposition ( especially ones as hateful as these teabaggers ) but fear them ..NEVER. Now if you want to claim to be part of this then go right ahead, but this hateful bunch will kill itself from the inside.

You haven't seen me upset, Pal.you seem pretty upset for it to be so early in the morning
You stated it unambiguously in your post, which I reproduce for your benefit.
I'm not a Teabagger. Satisfied?
And I did not say you did.
Progressive douchebagger propaganda.
Fox covered the Tea Parties on April 15th when the rest of the mainstream media virtually ignored them.
Show me evidence that Fox News created the Teabaggers.
People exercising their right to peaceably assemble and petition the Government for a redress of grievances is a right that is sacrosanct. But to you they are just Teabaggers.
You don't even understand that this is not one cohesive movement. There are separate and diverse Teabagger groups all over the nation, which makes it very difficult to determine membership.
You've got me there. I have no idea why they would want to inflate their numbers at rallies.
Why does the Census count illegal aliens?
You underestimate them all right.
Furthermore, I think you are scared shitless. Your false bravado does not fool me.
And you give yourself away every time you use the term 'Teabagger' in the pejorative sense.
And it is abundantly clear the Democrats who passed Messiahcare are afraid. Afraid for the present and afraid for the election.
Again, you seem to want desperately to identify me as a Teabagger.
And again, you misunderstand the Tea Parties. The movement has much more to do about anger than it does about hate.
But I suspect you need them to be evil haters to justify your own fearful hatred of them.

Can you imagine a group of people actually wanting to follow the constitution.
Now imagine another group which labels them as the enemy.
Which group to give the head nod to? Man, it's a tough choice isn't it?
If you are brain dead perhaps.
