In other words, Axelrod is a Chicago thug and crook!
Axelrod is a liar.
David Axelrod- a true rod..
The anger is directed at the big government big spenders, exactly where it should be. The Democrats are only using our money to buy support.
“promoted by organizers “
LMAO! Are they idiots? Obama was an ORGANIZER.
the “tax cut” is a miserable lie
Axelrod is a DIMWIT. I guess he thinks we are to grab our ankles and smile, no way.
WASHINGTON, April 19 (UPI) — The so-called “TEA Party” movement against taxes could become an “unhealthy” reaction to gloomy U.S. economic conditions, a White House adviser said.
In an appearance Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” program, Senior White House Adviser David Axelrod said the Taxed Enough Already rallies across the nation last week should not have been directed at President Barack Obama’s administration.
He said the TEA Party events, which were organized by the conservative group FreedomWorks, comes from a dissatisfaction with the economy that “can mutate into something that’s unhealthy.”
He also said the White House is “not at all” afraid of the National Rifle Association.

Emanuel: Obama eager to work with GOP - UPI
B S !!!!
ok, I am one of those rich guys who makes more than $250,000 so my taxes aren’t going down. But consider this, much of my income is derived from my small business interests. I don’t use my income to buy beach homes and fancy cars. I use my income to reinvest in my business by purchasing equipment and hiring people. The more I pay in taxes to fund these idiots in DC the less I have to invest in purchasing capital assets and employing people. Why is it that the Obama administration and the democrats treat those of us who fuel this economy like the enemy and imply we are doing something evil by being successful? I grew up thinking that was what was great about America ... The problem is that they are mostly like Obama and have never held a private sector job. They really have no clue what it means to create tax solutions that promote small business growth. Their dumbass solutions are throwing trillions of dollars at these big ineffectivce corporations with little accountability ... I could go on and on .... this is so very frustrating ... but at the end of the day I will continue to work my butt off and strive for excellence and we will beat these bozos, trust me on that one
LOL, did that scumbag say this with a straight face?
I must have not gotten the notice from Dick Armey and FreedomWorks because they didn’t ‘lead’ me to do anything as the AP claims!
******
The tea parties were promoted by FreedomWorks, a conservative nonprofit advocacy group based in Washington and led by former Republican House Majority Leader Dick Armey of Texas, who is now a lobbyist.
Axelrod replied: “I think any time that you have severe economic conditions, there is always an element of disaffection that can mutate into something that’s unhealthy.”

NO SH*T, Sherlock!
“The thing that bewilders me is this president just cut taxes for 95 percent of the American people.”
The thing that bewilders me is these idiots keep lying and expecting us to believe them.
Go play on the freeway, Axelrod.
Axishead is flat-out lying. What sacks of excrement he and everyone else in this Administration are.
Oh, sorry. I just insulted sacks of excrement.
Professional liars, all of them. It’s not about taxes, it’s about spending. The new level of spending is not even remotely affordable. It will eventually cause huge tax increases, high inflation, and/or massive bond defaults (probably two of the three). Any one of the three will be terrible for America.
I am glad to see the silent majority finding it’s voice. We have rattled their cages this week people and we cannot let them try to oppress us. We are the American people and we have a voice!
Yesterday my husband ran into a fellow at one of our local shops, who was so discouraged in the direction our government is taking us. He basically was a hard worker who came home every day to the nightly news and that was the extent of it. He heard something about the tea parties but did not know much. He and my husband talked an hr and a half. He had no clue that there is a force out there that feels the way he does. By the time the conversation was over he was so encouraged. This is what it is all about. Obama and his likes are afraid this will spread. So keep up the good work and do not give up and recruit.
The reason for the tea parties Mr Axelrod Idiot, is as easy as 1,2,3....

Response to Asselrod: “It’s the spending stupid!”
The so-called “Stimulus” was nothing more than funding for every pet program Democraps want plus setting up the means to nationalize whole segments of the economy.
Then came Obozo’s budget with spending on top of spending full of earmarks and waste and greed.
And Asselrod expects us ingrates to be happy we’re getting $32 a month thant hasn’t been passed yet? What a buffoon.
He knows the obamedia won’t question that inane statement. Hey Axlehead, most of the people getting that measly $400 bucks never paid taxes, they’re getting it from us. Hence the Tea Parties.
Pray for America, Our Troops and obama’s Continued Utter Failure
