I'm getting pretty damned tired of people calling people teabaggers
because they believe in the Democratic Platform.

One might want to take a look in the mirror before throwing the term around and labeling others. As it is they who are AOK with the republican policies of:

bush tax cuts for the wealthy
cutting SS
cutting Medicare
escalating WAR
Romney care

....feel free to add your own...

1. No, no -- we're firebaggers.
I'm a firebagger and proud of it.

If someone calls you a teabagger, just correct her or him that it's "fire," not "tea."

2. Firebaggers are posters at FDL...
Firebaggers are not leftists in general.

You're a DU'er.

11. Are you AOK with an Republican controlled House and Senate?
Can't have an FDR Presidency with Republican's controlling or blocking everything.

13. I am sick and tired of "Democrats" advocating against our nominee, thereby ensuring a Republican in
office. Trying to cause dissent and advocating voting 3rd party or not at all is trying to implode Democrats. I am sick and tired of these people. Give me a better name to call them and I will:

Charlatans
double agents
trolls
freepers
firebaggers

What do you prefer?????

I prefer Democrats running the White House and picking the next Supreme Court Justices.

Others obviously prefer Republican rule.

17. It is not advocating against our nominee. It is advocating a change in course,
whatever that may bring.

19. Change of course is not what I and others on this board complain about. It is the all out effort to
sabotage our nominee, and advocating for 3rd party alternatives which would implode our party. Arguing policy or decisions made is not what I was discussing. It is clear that many on this board would love to see Obama lose which would mean a Republican in office.
