Not exactly breaking news, Chuck. The Tailgate Party carries the Republican Water to the far fringe right.

Duh, the division between tea party people and conservatives was established a long time ago. If the tea party people have their way, then the democratic party will clean house at the elections because conservative voters have their limits.

Memo to Chuck Todd:

NBC/MSNBC is Just Another DNC Constituency

Tea Party people ARE the conservatives. They do not WANT a third party. They want big government out of their lives. They want the out of control spending to stop! The Federal Govt. is taking the rights away from the States.

Bill you carry the waste of the Democrats, trog.

Wow. Chuck may be the first media person to get this right. Of course I’ve been saying it for months and so have a couple of others, but we don’t have Mr. Todd’s chair. I’m glad to see that he’s capable of insight.

Let’s see, the Tea Partiers want lower taxes, less government involvement in their lives and a return to that old Constitution thingy. Chuck is right about one thing, these aren’t current Democrat Party values.

Note to Chuck: They are disaffected Conservatives who do not support any party that doesn’t support restraints on spending, taxing and the expansion of government.

It’s really a shame that MSNBC and NBC strangle holds these talented and articulate journalists to spew the DNC agenda. Why bother recruiting college grads. If you can read a teleprompter, you’re ordained a pundit.
I’d be curious to investigate how many of these folks are actually as liberal in real life as they appear on TV.
Let’s hope that Comcast will make some much needed changes

you libs are living in NEVERLAND ask peter to fly you home. tea party people all agree on 1 thing you libs are distorying this great country and we will change the house and congress in November look at VA and Mass. You can do all the name calling and trying to divide us all you want it will not work the two, for lack or good words, ladies from CA both are going to have hard time getting reelected as is old harry. So keep up your negative remarks about tea party just like british did in boston and we will win again as we did then

Oh wait sorry i just remebered libs don’t learn or teach real history i mean boston tea party

Drawing comparisons between the tea party protests and the Boston tea party is pretty lame. One had to do with growing tensions between 13 colonies and England because of the lack of real representation, and the other had to do with butthurt conservatives who can’t accept that they lost the elections to the point where they become delusional in the belief that they will clean house come election season. One has representation, the other does not.

how is it different 85% of the people in America did not want health care bill passed but it did. Is that not lack of representation.

Obama (and the democrats) were elected for the promise of a public option and regulations on insurance companies. To say that the made up number you gave was representative only of conservative ideology is a joke, otherwise he wouldn’t have been elected. Many Americans recognize that the bill that has passed is far too corporatist in its deployment, and some Americans do not like bill because of this.

Point is, the “85% of Americans” statistics you gave is both a lie and it is also of the belief that political ideology is binary. Essentially, anytime someone presents an argument in the form of a binary, there is a serious problem with that argument.

That’s great the Tea Party wants out of control spending to stop, but are they actually willing to lose their entitlement programs, lower defense spending, and not have federal funds brought back to their home district aka pork? What’s the answer, raising the age for Social Security benefits? Cutting benefits for veterans or the poor? Lowering education spending? It’s just easier to be hypocrite and talk about lowering spending then actually doing it because it certainly didn’t happen between 2002 – 2007.

Snipzor, you are one dim liberal.

“One had to do with growing tensions between 13 colonies and England because of the lack of real representation….”

And the majority of Americans were AGAINST Obamacare and they passed it anyway. That’s called lack of real representation.

“What’s the answer, raising the age for Social Security benefits? Cutting benefits for veterans or the poor? Lowering education spending?”

Yep, you finally got it.

Dumbass – the nation’s legislature voted, each and every state and district had representatives. Had a big bowl of stupid for breakfast, didn’t you.

LOL

You are a dumb ass. They IGNORED the people they were supposed to represent, a-hole.

I don’t know what makes you so stupid, but it really works!

So how should we go about lowering Medicare benefits for senior citizens and taking federal dollars out of all the state Medicaid programs? If our government actually did this, the red states wouldn’t be too happy.

Are you really suggesting that the government wisely uses all of the dollars coming into it? Even after all the stories of waste, disappearing money, padded contracts, fraud, etc… you think they’re taking just as much as they need? Really?!

Bridges to nowhere… airports with no passengers… trains nobody wants… museums nobody will attends… and endless “studies” to find out things we already know. Logical cuts and reduced waste… and of course, an elimination of fraud for Medicare, Medicaid, and welfare.

I simply don’t understand those who will criticize “wasteful spending” under Republican leadership… and then insist that everything is fine, when “their guys” are in office. It simply defies logic.

I haven’t expressed any opinion about the way federal money is spent, what comment are you refering to?

I’m only talking about the regular overspending which increases our deficit every year, no matter which party is charge. Bush and the Republican controlled government actually raised more tax revenue than ever before from 2004-2007 because of his tax cuts, but they just increased spending with no attempt to deal with the debt.

“Logical cuts and reduced waste… and of course, an elimination of fraud for Medicare, Medicaid, and welfare.”

So what are the logical cuts to our entitlement programs? Waste and fraud exist, but they don’t cause government overspending. Saving a million here and there isn’t going to fix the problem.

Lots of Americans recognize that the draft law, which he passed too far in the corporate deployment, and some Americans do not like the law because of it.

Your “April 18, 2010 at 2:34 pm” comment.

Bush and the Republican controlled government actually raised more tax revenue than ever before from 2004-2007 because of his tax cuts, but they just increased spending with no attempt to deal with the debt.

And despite what the haters on the left will say, many of the Tea Partiers address this very issue. They complain that Bush over-spent, and left us in a hard way. However, they say that things hadn’t gotten bad enough to protest until the bailouts begun… that’s when folks started to get really upset and organized.

I’ll agree with you the both parties have increased spending and hurt the debt.

So what are the logical cuts to our entitlement programs? Waste and fraud exist, but they don’t cause government overspending. Saving a million here and there isn’t going to fix the problem.

Logical cuts, like specific earmarks going to things nobody needs. As I said, bridges to nowhere, airports nobody uses, museums nobody visits, and studies to tell us things we already know. Entitlement cuts does not necessarily mean complete program cuts. Heck even Obama has said we need entitlement reform! I think you’re making the issue more black and white (all or nothing) than it really is.

And I disagree that saving million here and there will make a difference. We have to start somewhere, and if we start eliminated the waste, after a while it’s going to add up. We can’t say, “Well, 3 million is relatively small… so who cares if we’ve wasted it?!” We can’t operate like that… it all adds up, and that’s where our problems come from.

Dear Chuckie: I am a “recovered Democrat” and a Tea Party member. You are a kool-aid swilling Obamabot posing as a “journalist.” pfft!
