The local paper told about the Tea Party going on in the Treasure Coast (Florida). They quoted an Eric Jotkoff, Florida Democrat Spokesman. This is going to be the word of the day.

“Florida Democratic Party spokesman Eric Jotkoff said the event seems to be the only solution to the current economic crisis that the Republicans are offering.

“While the Republicans are sipping tea and eating crumpets, Democrats led by President Obama are working to rebuild our economy and create jobs,” Jotkoff said. “Democrats are doing what is necessary to do the short-term investments to jump start Florida's economy, and make the long-term investment to have a sustainable job market over the long term through key investments in health care, energy and education.”

Of course, this is totally wrong. The Republicans DID offer a response to the Democrats’ plan, but it was turned down by the Democrats. When the plan was being formulated, the Democrats literally shut the door on the Republicans. As for the “tea and crumpets”, well -———

The answer to that is, he’s a LIAR. Don’t pull punches. That’s what pubs do. FIGHT BACK. You don’t even have to argue with them. Call them liars, forked tongue liars, and move on.

As if stealing one group of people's money and giving it to another group produces ANYTHING. This guy is a poster child for what people are protesting and he's too stupid to know it.

If you want to know how the Media is going to react to all of this, look no farther than this KOS quote, folks....

“we have to take the potential of their “movement” seriously, while still treating them as irrelevant in order to set that meme in place.”

HE that controls the “MEME”, controls the message. It’s how Obama even got elected.
