I love Hoffa! Finally! A public man with balls in the U.S.!
If I so much as hear ANYONE call for civility in the light of this, after the screwing by Repukes that this bullshit 'civility' has gotten us, I swear I will modify the way I VOTE.

Tea Party (in other words, Repukes wearing costumes), can all kiss my ass.

Here's an interesting article about how the Tea Party (in other words, the lowest I.Q. Republicans), are pissing off mainstream America:


"...But in fact the Tea Party is increasingly swimming against the tide of public opinion: among most Americans, even before the furor over the debt limit, its brand was becoming toxic. To embrace the Tea Party carries great political risk for Republicans, but perhaps not for the reason you might think.

Polls show that disapproval of the Tea Party is climbing. In April 2010, a New York Times/CBS News survey found that 18 percent of Americans had an unfavorable opinion of it, 21 percent had a favorable opinion and 46 percent had not heard enough. Now, 14 months later, Tea Party supporters have slipped to 20 percent, while their opponents have more than doubled, to 40 percent.

Of course, politicians of all stripes are not faring well among the public these days. But in data we have recently collected, the Tea Party ranks lower than any of the 23 other groups we asked about — lower than both Republicans and Democrats. It is even LESS popular than much maligned groups like “atheists” and “Muslims.”
