The Tea Party had no viable plan. They are just mad and don't even know at what. Every time Tea party people were asked their plan, they had none. You do point out the big problem in the country, accusing people who advocate education as being elitist. We are not elitist, we just know the importance of education. The right wing has been systematically trying to get rid of pulbic education in favor of vouchers which is nuts. We know everyone can benefit from a good education and get stopped time after time by the right wing when dems try to fund programs like head start. And Bush started those two wars. Neither Gore nor Kerry would have done that. << To: koan who wrote (107895) 1/22/2012 5:44:45 PM From: mel221 of 107902 >> You would be wrong in doing that. I doubt it. I'm really not interested in a conversation about your intellectual superiority. However, I am interested in achieving our mutual goal of cutting military spending. Politicians are feathering their own nest by looting the future and giving the monies to their special interest supporters. Atleast the tea party has made efforts to shutdown the government in an effort to reduce total spending. That tea party effort resulted in the current plan to make minor cuts in military spending. The liberals had complete control over the federal government for 2 years. Despite their intellectual superiority, they did nothing to significantly reduce military spending. The liberal intellectuals in the Senate cannot even produce a budget for the past 2 years. What plan do you intellectually superior liberals have, one based in reality, for significantly reducing military spending? The only option I see is a balanced budget amendment... An amendment universally rejected by liberals.
