From what I understand - Republicans = the stupid party, whose people think the sun revolves around the earth, and don't know where Iraq is on a map.

Maybe that is what keeps people away. It's somewhat surprising that about half of the US seems to vote for them - this is why a lot of stereotypes about Americans exist.

you are making a sterotype claim that really dosn't exist.


Insane American Republican complaining about taxes and government spending.... all the while living on welfare.  

nice commical map, but dosn't really prove every Republican is somehow stupid. I will give props to the map being funny, but its just a stereotype that dosn't prove anything.

The video is of some random guy at a tea party rally. thats it. some random guy. I could probably go to any political movement or rally and find at least one person that doesn't have much of an education. Its all just stereotypes created by media for ratings honestly. It really just comes down to difference of opinions. One method of running a government VS. another.


Pointing out that the stereotype exists was the point of my post.

Also, it's complete hore crap if you think that is just one rare moron among the bunch. This whole "Tea Party" thing is well known to be full of crazies and idiots - Bill Maher, Steve Colbert, and John Stewart have made entire TV series' dedicated to showing the world how stupid these people actually are. Essentially, these guys are the same as Black Panthers, except white, far more stupid, and wield guns like wild people, not because of intimidation against the police who brutalized and murdered their people (as the black panthers did), but because they're just plain insane. In fact, the great irony is that the people who were largely against the Black Panthers are largely the same ones who make up this "tea party". Bill Maher explains their whole ridiculous stance quite well:

Ummm...I wouldn't doubt you would get those kinds of responses from biased liberal media types. I would expect them to do and say those things. In any political movement you are going to likely get some of them that are weirdos and don't know what they are talking about.  Just look at the "Occupy Wall Street" crowd. Someone from that crowd dropped their pants and shit on a police car. Many of them are just sleeping in privately owned parks and smoking dope. I would say most of those people are more extreme than most "Tea Party" people. There have already been at least 700 arrests from the "Occupy" crowd. How many arrests have you heard from "Tea Party" rallies? um...hardly any from what I have seen if any. And I'm not a tea party member if thats what you think I'm getting at, nor do I align myself with all of their views specifically, but I am trying to get you to see the one sidededness of your argument.

The following is what they released as a contract that they want to Government to sign and accept

  1. Identify constitutionality of every new law
  2. Reject emissions trading
  3. Demand a balanced federal budget
  4. Simplify the tax system
  5. Audit federal government agencies for waste and constitutionality
  6. Limit annual growth in federal spending
  7. Repeal the healthcare legislation passed on March 23, 2010
  8. Pass an 'All-of-the-Above' Energy Policy
  9. Reduce Earmarks
  10. Reduce Taxes

So, from an unbiased standpoint and ruling out the small number of extreme people in the group what is so Ridiculous and terribly extreme about their stated desires? Do you think the "Occupy" group has a lot of people with extreme ideologies involved?
