TEA Party - I read ramblings of a few OWSers I know on Facebook who believe the TP was started by and currently funded by those evil and dastardly Koch brothers.

It’s the racist TEA party that wants to bring down obama and America.

We are standing in the way of progress!

Most of the low-info voters won’t be affected - the rest of us know.

Homosexuals have re-shaped our whole society and they’re about three percent of the population.

They wish. One and one half percent on the high end tops. They make a noise all out of proportion to their size.

Why must you remark about homosexuals?

Why not? You sure use a lot of words to bleat that your mother dresses you funny. I thought it was a thoughtful post and added to the discussion. You obviously don't, for your own reasons.

Hurrah for the TEA Party

Hurrah for the Cruzites

I voted for Cruz and so for it is the best vote I have ever cast in my life.

Keep the FERAL Government shutdown.

Update..... The sun is rising in the East again in South Texas for the second day of the shutdown......more updates at 10.....

Friend, in any argument where you are trying to win the high ground it is absolutely necessary that you keep everything as concise as possible so you don’t get dragged off into the weeds on side issue. We wabt the Dems give way on the indivdual mandate and the congressional exemption on Obamacare. Every word we say at work, on-line, and in a blog should only be about these two points....period. We have a good argument to make!!!! Don’t weaken your strong position by spouting off about homosexuals. The person you are tryig to persuade will then jusge you as a hater and then you will not win them over. Please be smart...is all I’m saying.

Look at it this way. If you were in the middle of a knife fight, would you suddenly criticise your opponent for not wearing matching clothes? No!!! Why? Because its not relevant nor helpful to your cause even though it may be true!!! Get it?

We are up against a machine and they will take this country down unless people like us can make an intelligent and concise presentation

Friend, in any argument...

I am not your friend. And I don't understand what you are talking about. You do take a prize for using a lot of words without saying much so I am not too embarrassed by my inability to comprehend.

Why must you remark about homosexuals?... This sort of name calling...

There was no name calling, just an example of how a small group can wield un deserved power.

You are the one calling names.
