Who's leading this Party?

Tom Tancredo's description of President Obama as a socialist, is one of the funniest things I've read or heard in quite a while.

The Tea Party Organizer is throwing around the "S" word like it has a separate meaning for Obama and not any other area (or administration) in America.

When Bush I sent the Army into Kuwait to protect the oil field for U.S. oil interests, he was using taxpayer money to help corporations. Isn't that socialism? When Bush II gave tax credits to purchasers of SUV's isn't that socialism. When we drive on our streets, have our roads plowed, go to public schools, use the military to protect special interests, give government contracts to insiders (and outsiders), isn't that socialism. The list goes on and on.

It seems that, to neo-conservatives, it's REALLY only socialism when it's the government spending money for the common person.

Big corporate no-bid contracts are what? The government paying for road construction is what?

Listen...anytime the government pays to help build a country (or line the pockets of its cronies) it's socialism. AND if you wanna look at the years between 2001 and 2009, you'll see more socialism than you can shake a stick at!

This Tea Party is so NOT like the original one that it's laughable. I really think they need a Brand New (Tea) Bag.
