Political Ruminations

Morning Quote: Tea Party Leader Attacks the Poor

Watch Dallas Tea Party leader, Ted Phillips, cry about the expiring Bush tax cuts for the wealthy and attack the unemployed and food stamp recipients:

Tea Party buffoon, Ted Phillips:

“I think it is a bad thing is they let those cuts expire, we’re in the middle of a deep, deep recession … Now is not the time to increase taxes to the dwindling producers in our country when we have a president who is trying to give more money away to the moochers and welfare. We need people working, not sitting back receiving food stamps and unemployment. It’s laughable.”

Political Must Reads

In a must read piece, John Amato goes after Alan Greenspan, Ben Stein, the Tea Party, et al, for their very bad Randian ways.

As you know, Greenspan was at the helm like an anti-Captain Kirk during much of the destruction of the world's financial systems during his reign in politics.

Also. Down With Tyranny compiles a list of quotes by Republicans on the Republican opinion of the lazy, lacking, good for nothings who are the unemployed in America.

It’s hard to understand the Republican mind. If you try too hard, you may end up catching a case of their insanity, or at least being plagued by nightmares, or your psyche might end up so wounded by the assault that you need to go for counseling or maybe just a prescription for some valium. My suggestion: Just let their own words do most of the talking. It is what it is. They reveal the inner workings of their twisted minds just fine. The only cure for Republicanism is complete derision and dismissal. Herewith some classic examples of Republican Mental Illness, or RMI as we call it at the Down With Tyranny Medical Center.
