re: #1465 Lidane

I definitely hope so.

Some of the signs on display were bad enough, but the racial slurs and members of Congress being spit on and all that is just beyond uncalled for. Also, someone throwing a brick at Rep. Louise Slaughter’s office is way, waaay out of line.

There’s a lot of unhinged anger out there, and very little of it has to do with health care. I refuse to believe that this bill could cause that much rage. It’s much deeper and much scarier than all that. I just wish there were elected Republicans out there willing to take these nutjobs on and call them out on crap like that. It would be nice.

Regardless of how the health care legislation is voted on once that passes the Tea Party will largely go extent. Their only other platform that may be relevant is taxation and/or spending. However, if we disregard their shall we say, moral deficiencies they have nothing. They have zero credibility with foreign policy, the environment, transportation, military, education, etc. They are for the most party a single issue organization.
