    Then how is you thought the tea party controls the house, is responsible for Obama's executive decisions and that they're in a position to fix Obamacare?

  3. Funny stuff lucrum using your word of the day, well at least you're trying to improve yourself. And you know as well as I do the tea party holds much more power than their numbers indicate they should. You can call my ideas or views stupid and some may be, I've made some mistakes and had views that in hindsight were not good. But you can't call me stupid not compared with the average right winger anyway nor when compared with yourself.

    At 11% of the house?
    NO dopey, I know no such thing
    Actually I can, have and will likely do it again. At least until you stop making stupid ignorant and unsubstantiated statements. And stop demonstrating the spelling, grammar and reading comprehension of a not too bright elementary school student.

    Let's assume this is so. Wouldn't that indicate that the Tea Party wields more power because the rest of the political spectrum (on both sides of the aisle) fear the large conservative base of voters who you would classify falls under that umbrella?

    Isn't that the job of the people? To put pressure on their politicians? So either the Tea Party has a lot of support, or the people supporting the other side of the equation are remaining silent.

    I fail to see the issue with this, as it is functioning exactly how a republic is supposed to function (in this regard).

    Hey remember all those multi-million dollar, nonsensical Obamacare cartoon ads that taxpayers were forced to fund in Oregon? Yeah, well taxpayers haven’t exactly gotten a return on their investment as exactly zero people have signed up in the Oregon health care exchange program.

    From the AP (Via CBS Seattle):

    With a reputation as a pacesetter in health care, Oregon laid out bold plans for complying with the federal overhaul.

    The state wouldn’t just create a health insurance exchange, a complicated undertaking in its own right. Oregon officials set out to build one of the biggest and best in the nation — a model that other states would want to copy.

    But more than a month after Cover Oregon’s online enrollment was supposed to launch, reality is lagging far behind Gov. John Kitzhaber’s grand ideas. The online system still doesn’t work, and the exchange has yet to enroll a single person in health insurance...

    The Tea Party Patriots' mission is to restore America's founding principles of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.



    I'm really not seeing the so called "problem" with the tea party.

  8. Some of that is true for the republicans or most of it, but not as much for the dems. The dems have a long history of compromise. They cave to the will of reps over and over with Obamacare being an exception and they should of forced the reps to put their 2 cents into the bill so it would be somewhat of a joint effort. As far as the will of the people I don't think they represent the majority at all. They just have the power and are willing to hurt America to get their way. It won't last forever and after they last debt limit shutdown it's less now.

  9. From reading you on here I would be shocked if you were anywhere near 124 IQ. You need to check business owner for a reference to my IQ not roofer. Or insurance adjuster, I do that too and I used to be a firefighter, and was top scorer on the hiring test out of 500+ applicants. I'm telling you that to scare you and so when you lose your money to me you can't say I sandbagged on your ass. Feel free to continue talking shit, it is what you're best at.

    From reading you on here I'd be shocked if you're over 90. In any case I'm not 124. Nor did I ever say or even imply I was. That number is an Average IQ by occupation (estimated from median income). Again - reading comprehension.
    From that same list:

    102. Insurance agent 99.7
    107. Firefighter 99.2

    I don't see business owner on the list. But then even a roofer can own their own business. So I wouldn't expect that average score to be very high anyway.
    Scared? LOL You've demonstrated repeatedly that you're a mental midget.
    More than a few here have come to that same conclusion, independently.
