Sam Donaldson Tells Tea Partiers 'It's Not Your Country Anymore - It's Our Country'
NewsBusters ^ | 12/24/2012

SAM DONALDSON: The minorities re-elected president Obama, but I'm going with Katty. It's the Tea Party and thinking of the Tea Party and people like that that are driving the Republicans out of contention as a national party. You cannot win nationally if you don't know something about the way the country's changed, and the Tea Party seems to think the country can go back 25 or 30 years. The greatest slogan that I hated during this last campaign was “We want to take back our country.” Guys, it's not your country anymore - it's our country and you're part of it, but that thinking is going to defeat Republicans nationally if they don't get rid of it.

So Donaldson like so many of his colleagues in the media believe that the movement that led to an historic Republican victory at the polls in 2010 will defeat the GOP if the Party doesn’t purge itself of such people and thinking.

Not surprisingly, the only good Republican in these folks’ view is a moderate one.

But then, great minds think together..........

Sam, if you think true Americans are going to let stand, the Socialist take over and ruination of this country, then drinking isn’t the only failing you need to get over.

Are you really so stupid as to believe this current aberration, is change in ownership of this country, that we are under some obligation to accept, and no longer fight, you are as foolish as you are ignorant.

It’s because Donaldson and the rest of his Fifth Column cronies are in overdrive with their left-wing propaganda to keep the Democrat Socialist Party propped-up.

Sam should trim his goofy overgrown eyebrows and quit drinkin’ so freakin’ much and he won’t look and sound so damn acerbic.

Tea partiers are disgusted with GOPE wusses who can’t call a socialist a socialist, a crook a crook, or ignore pocket book issues which affect every “demographic”.

Amen to that! The GOPe still hasn't learned you can't make nice with a serpent striking at you repeatedly. Even worse, it is disturbing to say the least that the GOPe has absolutely no clue about bringing together its base. Instead it opts to separate and remove among its own, while attempting to appease a regime that has already boasted they will make teleprompter speech after teleprompter speech for the next four years degrading and insulting Republicans, no matter what they do.

Silly me, I want to go back TWO HUNDRED years. Restore the constitution!

Or 1200 years when they sacrificed socialists on oak trees so Odin's ravens could chow down on their eyeballs...

Nope; born in Texas (El Paso) and raised in New Mexico. Untouched by conservatism, amazingly.

Now you know why this one percenter moron harassed Ronald Reagan and made a name for himself doing so. He made millions from the enhanced named recognition he got. So where are today’s Sam Donaldsons asking Hussein Obama the tough questions? They are nowhere to be seen

Sam is seeking money for his legal defense fund? Sam knew he had a drinking problems, got caught so he could get some help (liberal speak for free money). What a joke.

It is still Your Country, the liberals overreach with Our Country liberal thought and dreams of a Utopia. Right a Utopia will work out with the rising debt and delusional thoughts of the Odumbo Despot.

“This democrat party is the rebirth of the National Socialist Party of Germany.”

Bears repeating. Oh, as for Sam’s contentions about the Tea Party - WE SHALL SEE.

Sam is apparently drunk again. Maybe what he sees as his country is one where drunken elitists can be paid on the public dole for not raising sheep.

Ol’ Sammy boy is irrelevant. He’s just another talking head but nothing serious ever comes out of his mouth.

If you pretend you’re a hip lib instead of a drunken moron, the cool kids won’t rip the skunk fur off your head and laugh.

Apparently, ol’ Sam is guilty of pontificating while under the influence as well. PUI!

The only way back to sanity will be a total economic collapse that forces the parasites to understand that they have killed their host, or unthinkable violence that comes with another Civil War.

They will be parasites right up to the point that the checks start bouncing. Or worse, when the gov-mint check is at a fixed amount while the currency is hyper-inflated. Then the Leftists politicians will have a real big d@mn problem. No mo money and dose bitter-clingers still hast deir gunz!
