@apfelipod Exactly. Tea party is full of idiots.

Those "tea-drinkers" will end up doing a lot of damage to the USA...

I've been paying for health care my entire life (I'm from Europe) and I'm goddam happy that I had to. I can go to hospital not having to bother whether I can pay the bills or not, because the state will do it for me. So why should I be angry about that and in which way does it cut of my Liberty?! My grandma still has her "house doctor" and she's happy with the system as well. That really is a thing only republicans can complain about geeeezs....

Ok.. for ONE, people say Tea Party supporters are racist.. well look down at a few posts below, one guy makes us all sound like uneducated imbreeds with an alcohol problem. The tea party movement wants to give individual states back more govern, there for individual votes would matter more!! Illegals are here illegally, do NOT take away my rights.. and you are NOT going to tell me if HAVE to pay for health care... if we LET these things happen, its only the beginning. Educate yourselves !

@adri0877

information is a commodity so of course useful info is hard to come by. Information has a price. I dunno I guess its time to be a capitalist and join in on it. Or I dunno continue to use the net to give it away freely. Anyway man the tea party in my opinion is a fascist movement. I want your opinion because you are German. I have been to Germany before and trust me much better to live in than the US.

@fernando763 Thankyou for saying which areas you would like to cut. At least you actually have some kind of plan unlike the angry creationists and flat earthers that make up the Tea Party.

I myself believe in welfare reform, however simply wanting to cut it by an arbitrary figure would cause families deeply struggling to not be able to cope. Of course the reason families are struggling is because of the boom and bust economy from the GOP.

I am also strongly against any war so would cut that.

I'm from Germany and even i am recognizing that the tea party is only in the interests of tycoons. Maybe it's easier for me to recognize, because i don't consume american media like fox. ti's so sad that geting honest information in our so called information century is sooo hard!
