The Tea Party Downgrade

[undertheice]

Please dig a little deeper into the Koch brothers so you can tout their halos.

do you expect saints? what sort of skeletons reside in your own closet? i know my own contains a few real doozies. i would have hoped that the rabid racism and dishonesty surrounding the savior's many acquaintances would have tempered those expectations, but i really had little hope of such candor. with a bureaucracy filled to the gills with frauds, tax cheats and corruption, why should any less be expected of those who do not suckle at the taxpayer's teat?

#2 confirming the under informed. More than a few of the Koch brothers companies suckle at the governments teat. We call it corporate welfare.

My skeletons do not influence or pay off corrupt politicians.

I had to look up the infamous "Koch Brothers" - and you're right these fuckers are downright evil.
"Koch, who, at the age of seventy, has become one of the city’s most prominent philanthropists. In 2008, he donated a hundred million dollars to modernize Lincoln Center’s New York State Theatre building, which now bears his name. He has given twenty million to the American Museum of Natural History, whose dinosaur wing is named for him. This spring, after noticing the decrepit state of the fountains outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Koch pledged at least ten million dollars for their renovation. He is a trustee of the museum, perhaps the most coveted social prize in the city, and serves on the board of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where, after he donated more than forty million dollars, an endowed chair and a research center were named for him."

I liked your post, but giving money away to renovate buildings and having them named after you and giving to a Cancer center are NOT philanthropy. They are either Charity or influence peddling.

An example of Philanthropy would be if Mr Koch stood and served soup at the homeless shelter or became a foster parent or spent his own money to develop a new technology that would help all of humanity. You don't need a bunch of money to be a philanthropist, although it helps.

Oh yeah? Well my dad is 89 and he weighs about 475 and can probably lift 50 pounds. His chain smoking would probably kill your dad. He looks like a mid 100's fat man.

well my dad once won a butter eating contest at the state fair. 5 sticks in under a minute. he was stricken with diabetes at 35, had his first heart attack at 46, leg removed at 48, blind at 50 and a massive fatal heart attack at 51.

and he could kick you dads mother fucking ass any day of the week

Shiiit, I can kick my dads ass just by walking across the street and watch him attempt to follow me that far.

That butter thing is kind of gross.

You really are one hell of a writer. If your logic wasn't all based on theoretical non-sense that doesn't coincide with reality, I'd read books of it.

 

[Red1966]

sounds like you may be part of the problem

Yes, and we all no how Progressives handle people who are "part of the problem".

just heard a commercial for the wisconsin (i think it was wisconsin) state fair. they have a deep fried butter booth. can you imagine that?

i hope michelle the mooch gets there and closes it down. dont want a bunch of fair goers getting heart attacks. i would much rather see them beat down by a bunch of angry black kids who know how to tweet.

Boehner said he got 98% of what he wanted in the debt deal....sounds like ownership to me.

Boehner is not in the tea party.

 

[UncleBuck]

Boehner is not in the tea party.

anyone ask S and P what took them so long to downgrade? it should have happened many months ago

Its right there in black and red...read the red you freaking teabagging idiots..Own IT and be proud of what you have done..

Two (three?) sides couldn't come to an agreement (for awhile, anyway) and it's all one sides fault? You keep trying to blame this on "teabaggers". You lack objectivity. Anyone who tries to to object to your rant is wasting their time. You're angry you can't pin this on the Tea Party. Your "evidence" contradicts your theory, but you're so blind you can't see it. You quote the whole article but ignore the first half. If you read the whole article, you'll discover S&P believes the agreement doesn't do enough to control spending, which, I believe, was the premise of the Tea Party. Frankly, you're so indoctrinated. you've lost the ability to perceive the the world as it actually is.
