Reply #3: I believe they are angry,

[muffin1]

but not about anything documented above. They are angry at the black socialist in the White House, period. I'll allow that a VERY small percentage (1-2% MAYBE) is upset for legitimate reasons, but the rest? I don't think so. Where were they from 2000-2008? Their man got us into the horrible mess - illegal war, tax breaks for the wealthiest 2%, millions were added to the poverty rolls - we were circling the drain. All I ever heard from the repukes is how great things were.

If they actually walked the walk - cancel their Medicare and Medicaid benefits, call the fire and police departments and tell them not to ever respond to an emergency, withdraw their kids from school, stop driving on the highways - then, and only then, will I believe they worry about us becoming a socialist state.

Finally, they will always be teabaggers to me. They named themselves that, I find it very fitting, indeed.
