[Hard Assets]

1. Here's the official Tea Party response

[Flashmann]

4. official Tea Party response

[patrice]

11. Is that the guy who was mad about gangnam style? nt

[Hard Assets]

15. I wouldn't know.

I like Gangnam Style.

I googled "derp" on google images and chose the most appropriate derp pic.

[patrice]

28. Looks like the guy who went berserk on youtube about a gangnam style conspiracy.

[cosmicone]

18. That's the only response they have !! n/t

[lastlib]

23. it's near the high end of their vocabulary.

right below "Don't taek my gunz!!"



(yes, the misspelling was intended--following TP standards)

[cosmicone]

25. Yall morans be takin ow branes! n/t

[Botany]

2. oh my they are fracturing into two groups; Republicans and Tea Party Patriots

[randome]

19. Yes, this is very telling, isn't it?

I think a corner has been turned.

[Botany]

22. The Koch Brothers along with other front groups have created a monster ......

.... they sold those tea party regulars the idiotic idea that they had to rise up
and "take back their America" after Obama won in 2008 and now they are having
trouble controlling their offspring.

If the republicans keep up their war on women and immigrants along w/ closing
down post office operations they are cooking their own goose.

[lunasun]

30. Maroc Rubio and his bilingual State of the Union response

teabaggers dont play that game
that is what turned the corner on the Express imo
Thank goodness they have Rand !!

[goclark]

48. Are there any wealthy Rthugs in the TeaParty?

I thought they were just the Water Boys/Girls for the 1 %

Bye, Bye TeaBags

[Botany]

50. It is funded by the Koch Brothers and the like

n/t

[loudsue]

57. So I think the socialist party should get equal time if we are to have

two republican party members flaunt their points of view.

[Myrina]

3. Trying to decide if I should drink beforehand or not ...

... if I'm already hammered when he starts to blabber, some of it might make sense.
Or at least be comical.

[sinkingfeeling]

5. That should be a laugh/lie a minute.

[denverbill]

6. If Republickers get two responses, shouldn't progressives get at least one?

[peacebird]

38. Would be nice....

[Mr.Bill]

7. Proceed, Senator, proceed.

[1StrongBlackMan]

8. Why will this be televised? ...

Will the Cat-Owning Vegans Party of Idaho be given equal time?

Edited to add: On reflection, please broadcast gop schisms, far and wide.

[truthisfreedom]

9. Nobody's paying any attention to the little kids' table, rand.

Mail it in.

[patrice]

10. Think I'll steel myself for RP with a bottle or red wine, for my blood pressure, of course. nt

[derby378]

12. Well, that's it. The Republican response has officially become a drinking game.

What'll it be? Single-malt Scottish whiskey or something a little closer to home like Jim Beam or Southern Comfort?

[riqster]

20. Respect the Scotch, sir!

Only whiskey should be wasted on Repubs. Save the whisky for more deserving subjects.

[patrice]

24. Which could result in some of us forgetting to watch altogether. nt

[patrice]

27. But then, MAYBE we should watch to see if he promotes fast-&-furious assault weapons pro-growth

around the world for MIC to fight "Big Brother".

[Dawgs]

13. Fine, then Rand Paul has to leave the Republican party and become an independant.

Having two rebuttals is bullshit.

[wandy]

14. Will Rand Paul also be delivering the response in Spanish?

That would be worth seeing!
No. I know just enough Spanish to pick out about every fifth word.
That would be different how, to English Tepublican babble?

[MADem]

52. He'll probably say "Git outta here, ya furriners! Comprende?" nt

[wandy]

53. No he will get with the program to change the Teapublican "image"....

Remember the three promises.
1) I promise to stop making fun of you.
2) I promise to learn a little Spanish.
3) I promise not to electrify the fence... Again.

It's all in the messaging you see.
Yup. That will fix it.

[MADem]

55. Well, "comprende" is Spanish!

And when he tells 'em to "GIT!" he'll turn off the electricity to the fence!

He won't make "bean" or "siesta" (darn, another Spanish word he knows!) jokes while he's showing them the door, either!

He's such a loser!

[wandy]

56. I hope the republicans do not sucker to many people into the scam......

The 'cosmetic' change is about all they intend to do.
Rand Paul is but a symptom of the republican menace.

[Coolest Ranger]

16. why are we getting TWO responses I don't get that.

[CBHagman]

46. They started doing this a while back.

I don't know the justification for it, assuming there is one, but one year Michele Bachmann (R-MN) gave the tea party response.

I think part of the reason this has lasted more than a yea ris that the media made so much of the tea party early on.

[ladjf]

17. Ignorant people, leading ignorant people. nt

[Liberalagogo]

21. Why the F**K

are the rethugs allowed to have TWO f**king responses? What is going on? There is NO Tea Party. The so-called Teabag senators or Reps are listed as R not T or I. This is Bullshit.

[lunasun]

32. see #30 for my take -its the Repug bilingual State of the Union response

teabaggers heads are exploding at the thought

Not gunna spake only Englash gosh dumbit !
Tyranny I tell ya

[EC]

26. Who did it last year?

I guess that shows how memorable their reply is.

[Mike Daniels]

34. Wasn't it crazy eyes Bachmann?

The only memorable part was her looking at the wrong camera half the time.

[EC]

36. oh yeah

well, at least she still won her district.

[jerseyjack]

29. This aughta be funnier than Bobby J's rebuttal.

I wonder if Rand will take Bobby's advice and not talk stupid.

[graham4anything]

31. Cousins, identical cousins every way

[img][/img]

they laugh alike
they sound alike
they have the same political beliefs
and they have the same personal opinions on things that make the John Birch Society proud

Is it Rand?
Is it safe? Is it safe? Is it safe?
Is it clone?

[img][/img]

[diabeticman]

33. WTF?!?! Two responses?

[Thinkingabout]

35. Let us be thankful, very thankful the Teaparty passed over the Democrats.

Withe those on the other side our intelligence level average really increases.

[BumRushDaShow]

37. I thought Rove said that he contributed to Rubio because he was a teabagger?

[Solly Mack]

39. Caterwauling. blech.

[jaysunb]

40. Please remove the soapbox

We are 1 America. We have 1 President. There's no need for anyone other than the elected executive to detail and outline thestate of the country.

The MSM can and should put a stop to this phoney exercise.

[supercats]

41. The Tea Baggers Are A Complete Embarrassment To America

How in the hell can someone who gave himself his own medical credential (really!?) be allowed to even run for political office. Rand Paul is a disgrace to humanity and he should be in prison!!!

[underpants]

42. Hey I didn't know Stan Laurel was still alive

[xxqqqzme]

45. That is not fair to the

memory of Stan Laurel.

[Trascoli]

43. geez

unreal

[The Wizard]

44. He'll be a bigger douche bag

than he was questioning Hagel.

[DallasNE]

47. So Tea Party Darling Marco Rubio Will Deliver The Republican

Response to the SOTU address while Tea Party darling Rand Paul will deliver the Republican Tea Party response to the SOTU address. Does that mean that VP Biden gets to respond to Rand Paul? Where does it all end. Will anyone besides Fox carry Paul's response? It certainly looks redundant.

[Cha]

49. Pretty sure cnn carried bachmann's reponse last

year and have no reason to think they would do the same for rand. We don't call them teaNN for nothing.

[sofa king]

51. I hope the camera crew puts up plastic.

'Cause that baboon will be throwing poop for sure.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

54. It did wonders for Herman Cain's career last year

Will the "lib'rul" CNN give them free airtime again?

[Heywood J]

58. Does every Congressman and Senator get to deliver a response?

The state legislatures and governors? What about the heads of the DNC and RNC, or the heads of the fringe groups? Will CNN televise Skinner and EarlG responding to the State of the Union?
