Teabaggers - dumb as nails.............
"SSDD, can you cite one source where members of the Tea Party Movement call themselves "teabaggers"? That is a term used by left wing wackos like Janeane Garofalo."
Here is but one example of how Tea Party movement morons were too stupid to realize what tea bagging is.
Republicans and Tea Baggers - one and the same - out of power, impotent and living with their parents after the food stamps run out. Pathetic.
verified Typical
SSDD, typical answer from a liberal. Ask they to prove something and out comes the name calling. Sorry your are pathetic.
verified SSDD, can you cite one source
SSDD, can you cite one source where members of the Tea Party Movement call themselves "teabaggers"? That is a term used by left wing wackos like Janeane Garofalo.
verified All the time
We see and hear the term all the time, you call yourselfs teabaggers by being in the Tea Party movement. Geeze, why the big hubbub about the name? Is it because Pirate uses that term for some sexual antics he has with his bird? Come on, there are plenty of problem to complain about more important than the term used to name you. You're teabaggers, always were and always will be. Accept it.
names
Teabagger is a derogatory term. There are plenty of names out there that shouldn't be used. There is names for gays, blacks, hispanics, jews etc that are only used by so called bigots.
Tron before you ask I am not a member of the Tea Party.
I will try to come up with a term that democrats take offence to but it will be hard because in my opinion liberal is the worst thing to call someone and democrats seem to like that name.
How about
Well, their symbol is a donkey and another term for a donkey is a jack...
ya but they are used to that
ya but they are used to that name.
I think that since they feel
I think that since they feel the need to cleanse the stench brought onto to us from those 8 years of Republican rule, and the clining on the lost hopes of a "Fresh" start with the Obama administration, I feel they should be labeled the "Douche Bag" party........If they start to organize now, they can probably get some of their own town hall meetings scheduled on a nice Summers Eve.
I cast another vote for
I cast another vote for calling them Douche Bags. I like that one Scotty O. An old name but with a new spin just might be perfect for this point.
Second
I'll second that.
verified Cite it
First of all I am not a member of the Tea Party Movement. I have never seen a member of the movement call themselves a "teabagger". This is done by those on the left. If it is done all the time, you should be able to give me at least one web site where they call themselves "teabaggers".
verified Accept it
They are teabaggers, so they may as well accept. It's an easy term to use and remember, and I gotta tell ya, their, and your, protestations makes even better. Accept it, embrace it, the big black man will leave the white house eventually. Then all will be right in your little world.
verified Nice Reference
Tron, that is what you do, when asked to prove your point you refuse to. Just because it is so in your mind, does not make it so in the real world. I will ask you again. Where did you find a member of the Tea Party referring to themselves as a "teabagger"
verified In the Dictionary
It is included in this years American Oxford Dictionary, right along with Obamacare that you guys use so much. So like I said, it is now de rigueur, so accept it, learn to embrace it, or not, I don't care.
Word of the Day
Wow, we both have the same "Word of the Day calendar". Cool!
verified Not a defense
That is not a defense. You still have not shown where they call themselves "teabaggers", probably because it doesn't exist.
verified I give up
NOTHING will convince you. That's what they call themselves, others call them that, the news media calls them that, even FOX News?, and it is in the dictionary. But you're right, no one calls themselves that. Guess we have to move on to something more important, unless you want to continue to beat this into the ground, go right ahead.
verified You give up
You give up because you can not prove your point. You can not point to one web site where that is how they refer to themselves. I can be convinced if you can give me on piece of evidence, since you can't, I'm not convinced.
verified Dead Horse
Dead horse, dead horse, d e a d h o r...............
Not covered
Don't waste your time. The left wing wacko talking points that were sent out don't cover things like that.
Tea Baggers
Are Tea Baggers invited too? Sounds like fun!

Really?
Ok, unless I'm missing something, this whole problem relates to First Wind joining forces with Algonquin because they needed some cash, but that would violate the Maine power deregulation law.
Did I miss the mark?

It didn't
People starved in the streets, died from all sorts of easily treated diseases, and died from old age and neglect.
As for Government intervention. As long as there has been "government" there has been intervention so you have to go back 3,000,000 and more years to reach "before Government intervention". The choice now is not between no intervention and lots of intervention. Its between the tyranny of religious dogma on the right and the freedom of personal growth and responsibility on the left.

Fantasy vs. reality
Every year Maine has a balanced budget. The state is not deeply in the red. The credit rating companies (as corrupt as they are) agree Maine has its debt well under control. The Governor Constitutionally can not "supervise" the State Legislature. The most he has been able to do so far is bully senior citizens, the infirmed, and children.
