It's time for Democrats to demand Republicans denounce actions of Tea-baggers...

[kentuck]

Not just their actions, but their words. They came into Washington today, largely coaxed on by Republicans and FOX Network, and stormed the halls of Congress. It is reported they yelled "faggot" at Barney Frank and one yelled "n****" at John Lewis. This must end.

The Republicans should be called to denounce these actions. This is not acceptable.

1. Seriously.

K&R

[gateley]

2. Actually I like that they don't denounce them. Their silence implies tacit approval

and that's more damning than anything, IMO.

[SoFlaJet]

5. They're fucking cowards Gately

they ain't got the guts to stand up to the fringe element that is taking over their party. You know you can call democrats cavers or whatever but they denounced Move On with the General Betray Us shit flap, because they saw it as right and decent to do. Not ONE of these bastards will do what is right and denounce this shit, no they call them "patriots".

[gateley]

9. WHOA -- EDIT. I thought the OP was calling for the Republicans to denounce

the Baggers. Man, I was 180 off the mark! So I agree! We need to call them on it! :hi:

And thanks to babylonsister who showed me the error of my ways. :7

[babylonsister]

7. I don't think you're talking about Dems-the OP is. nt

[gateley]

10. Oh! I "read" that as Republicans -- WTF is wrong with me?? Thanks babylonsister! HUG nt

[kenny blankenship]

3. Heartily recommended

[Lifelong Protester]

4. YES! It is time for all SANE people to denounce them.

I used to think there were sane republicans. Is that possible any more? What kind of monster have they unleashed?

[SoFlaJet]

6. George Bush and Karl Rove and Dick Cheney KILLED that party

the final stake to the beasts' heart is being administered by these zealot Teabaggers. May they be in the minority for the rest of my life.

[bridgit]

8. Agreed

[SecularMotion]

11. Tea baggers = Republicans

[KonaKane]

12. I don't want the GOPs to denounce a thing from the Teabaggers

I prefer that GOP silence shows the American people without reservation, that the GOPers and 'Baggers are the same sort of slimey, bigoted, smallminded and violent idiots who deserve to be kept a thousand miles from elected office.

Then let election day come, and let the chips fall where they may.

[SoFlaJet]

13. The real question is will the media REPORT this

any takers on a friendly bet?

[Eg-ptiangirl]

14. Could someone simply

Please any one here can you simply answer those questions:
-What is simply the new health care reform in your country? What is the difference between it and the current one?
-Why is old tea parties coming again I studies that Americans refused to give tax money to British and wanted freedom why is this related to health care reform?
-Will the new health care affect doctors and people who work on health care system?
-Will you have 2 types of economy one for community services and one for industry or it is just a new system under the same economic values?

Please answer me cause I don't understand what is going on, thanks.

16. Basically...

It is an attempt by Democrats to get 31 million more people covered with insurance. It is insurance reform moreso than any type of "national healthcare". Republican claim it is a "government takeover" of our healthcare system.

"Tea Party" is used as symbolic of any tax issue. "Tea bagger" has a sexual connotation in America.

Yes, it could affect doctors that are specialists more than general practitioners, or so I have read.

Our system is a mixed economy already. It is part socialism and part capitalism. In the last 3 or 4 decades, it has gone more in the direction of "laissez-faire" capitalism.

It was a campaign promise by Obama that we would reform the healthcare system. The insurance industry and special interests are spending millions and millions of dollars to defeat any type of reform and to defeat Barack Obama in the next election.

I hope the helps?

And welcome to DU!

[Eg-ptiangirl]

18. Thanks

Thanks a lot.
It looks like a perfect reform cause except to Doctors I hope if it passes and affects doctors in a bad way they will do something.

[Turbineguy]

15. They won't.

[Better Today]

17. For heaven's sake WHY do you want them to break that tie? It's doing them such a disservice.

I hope the teabaggers stench wears off on every single republican in Congress, and I hope they can never wash it off. I have no doubt that 70+% of Americans find them all disgusting and by supporting or saying nothing about the teabaggers that have embraced them, well, they'll smell of it.

[kentuck]

19. Because...

if they don't do it, who do you think will?? The media? They need to make this an issue so the people can see what we are dealing with.

[Better Today]

20. Okay, I'm confused which "they" is which? Ithink somehow we

are saying the same thing but our "they"s are not the same.

[kentuck]

21. We is us and they is them.

But I assume the "tie" you are talking about is between the Repubs and the Tea-baggers"?? The issue will have to be forced or no one will be held responsible for their affiliations and actions. Oh, never mind. They are just like the old crazy uncle...

[libtodeath]

22. They should

But never will
