If you want a stern dose of reality I recommend visiting an important website, one to keep you in touch with the real world in a society where media and political spin abound. The site is USDebtClock.Org and all you need to do is look at the steadily changing, ever flickering numbers that literally jump out at you to get in touch with the real economic world. As I write this the grand total stands at over $12.4 trillion. That encompasses $40,239 owed per citizen. While this figure has been quoted frequently when this verboten topic has been discussed the real figure of overriding importance that has tended to be overlooked is the amount per taxpayer. While $40,239 is a far from insignificant figure, it is nowhere near as calamitous as the salient number determined by taxpayer in that the aforementioned figure includes a large population of children as well as numerous other citizens not paying current taxes. The amount owed per taxpayer stands currently at $113,496. This leads us into another important category as the situation gets worse, not better. Let us be sober realists and move into the staggering realm of U.S. total debt. That current figure is $54.76 trillion and climbing so fast that I dare only put the decimal and carry over to .76 when moving from trillions to billions. In that staggering context the total debt per citizen is currently $177,380 and $678,882 per family. U.S. trade numbers are looking anything but good. U.S. debt held by foreign countries is a staggering $3.82 trillion. The U.S. trade deficit is $80.28 billion. For those Tea Baggers eager to take slams at China, the economic reality is that the current U.S. deficit with that nation is $36.33 billion. In terms of the mounting debt in the foreign oil realm that stands currently at $52.6 billion. Bearing in mind the foregoing numbers, did all this begin when Obama took office? One would think so since that is when the Tea Bag movement began. While some in that movement realize that they must say something negative about Bush, where were these same individuals when he exploded the deficit with his irresponsible tax cuts for the rich carried out in his name? There was no Tea Bag movement during Bush's eight years in office. Most of these same individuals, following media role models such as Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity, were preoccupied rehashing Bill Clinton's administration and perpetually asking why and how he could win two presidential elections. On the subject of the exploding deficits of Bush you will find that the same crowd now fulminating and castigating non-stop and ardently demonstrating at Tea Bag rallies were those defending him and denouncing as unpatriotic those who dared utter a disparaging word at someone they then extolled as the hero of 9/11. We know from history that this is a staple Republican right stratagem. Realizing that they cannot stand up to free debate because the facts lie elsewhere, they condemn as unpatriotic those who dare to point out who and what they really are.

Bush didn't 'demolish the economy'. Second, most of 'us' voted to fire the GOP in 06. As you know.
my anti groupie can't get through life without me.
They were singing his praises and saying that anyone with a dissenting opinion was un-American.
You're so full of shit your eyes are brown
Obammy sez it What's a tea bagger and why are you so familiar with it?
Boy Blunder didn't 'demolish the economy'. Boy Blunder didn't 'demolish the economy'. Boy Blunder didn't 'demolish the economy'. Day 8 of Packrat refusing to register here. Day 6 Of Boofer The One Eyed Wonder Bot refusing to answer: When is Blackwell going to have the recount?
You and the rest is obvious...

Neither the LP database nor the FR search function lie. [snicker]

I heard Newt Gingrich a few days ago call it the Tea Bag movement. Maybe you need to get out some since you seem so unfamiliar with the language used by your heros.
Ron Paul WAS the dissenting opinion. And you can look at forum data bases all over the country and see how the BUSHBOTS treated his supporters. They were marginalized in way that would of made old Joe Stalin proud. Goldi and JR banned his supporters en masse. Oreilly said his candidacy would not be discussed on Fox calling him and his supporter loons and from that day on there was no mention of him other than a few offhand insults.
Where where they? In the same place that the anti-war Left is right now - hiding behind a sofa covering their ears singing "Mary Had A Little Lamb" while neolib Obama escalates our wars and prepares to attack Iran. When was the last march for peace? Oh yeah...
I hear a lot of people talking about tea parties. I only hear fags talking about tea bagging.
Oh geezus fucking christ puddin'...is that supposed to be some sort of universal stop sign? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... [speak in Puddin's high whiney voice] If you call me a team bagger then you're a fairy..." BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Yet terminology evolves and life goes on. Why should it be gay to call something a tea bag?
That's something you would know, not me.
Why can't you discuss anything without casting dispersions? Newt and many other mainstream GOPers have called it the Tea Bag movement.
Ron Paul's a kook. Nuff said. And sorry, nobody was a 'bushbot' thats pure bullshit. Especially in the summer of 06.

Haven't you heard? Obammy is the Prince Of Peace - so if he blows up innocents in countries we have no business being in, it's all good. Not like when that eeeeeeeeeeevil Bush blew up innocents in countries we had no business being in. Get with the program!
Obammy sez it We had a Bring Our Troops home demonstration here just yesterday.
That should make you happy...

Prove your point, kookie.

I'm sure it had its share of "celebrities". Which phone booth was it held in? The anti-war Left dropped folks like Cindy Sheehan like a bad habit once It became POTUS. Now war is sometimes the answer - provided the freebies keep a rollin' LOLAY!
I didn't see one celebrity but probably about forty to fifty and some traffic was stopping. I'm sure they must feel devastated since it didn't meet your expectations. I agree that the so called antiwar left also discards what it considers to be it's useful idiots too. Behaviors indicate: both parties are pro wars all over the globe.
You are saying there was no such thing as self described Bushbots? That's too funny for words.
You are saying there was no such thing as self described Bushbots? That's too funny for words. Your assertion in the first line above. Your demonstrating you can't back it up as asked in the second line. And yes, I'll now state catagorically there is NO ONE thats a 'self described' Bushbot. That was a bullshit term, used by lightweights. Which is why you can't produce a fuckin thing to back up your first lightweight claim. Thanks for playing.

Thanks for playing. You persist in your belief that I need your permission to post and that you get to set the guidelines.....WRONG. But even Peggy Noonan ventured an opinion on the subject. Proud FRers GOP suckups such as Howlin and Peach had "Proud Bushbot" on their personal pages. Howlin and her friend Buckhorn helped break the Dan Rather story, but I'm sure next to you and your massive ego they are "lighweights". LOLOLOLOL
