Tea Party candidate runs for cover

Most of the interest of the Tea Party is fiscal in nature followed by a strong belief that the Constitution is a formidable document and deserves to be observed by our ruling class.


fiscal my Texas ass .... take their SS checks away and watch their resolve for anti government spending vanish behind one of those rally signs

I think you are being a bit narrow minded. It isn't about SS checks, it is about "MY government pork is GOOD; everyone else's government pork is BAD."

Sounds about right.

How dare you use government money for school lunches or subsidized child care or libraries when those dollars should go to MY Medicare!

TeaParasites for Medicare! (But NOT for unemployment insurance, roads I don't drive on, or public schools).

Surely you must realize not all government spending is good, and not all government spending is bad.
Government does some good things in certain areas.

True. The problem is that too many people equate"good" with direct benefit to themselves, and "bad" with no immediate gain for themselves.

I notice that Timmie had no response and couldn't even answer the question of where it came from. We know where it came from... the secret Soros line that all Obama operatives have in their basement. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

Yeah, and I got a full 1 hour and 6 minutes to do so before you jumped in and started quacking like the fucking bitch you are....sorry, unlike you, I own and run a business and it's a real job and can't usually be up eating M&M's and trolling the internet at midnight like you. So, fuck off.

COG, I took the article as a whole to imply that the guy was a speaker.

You own a business? Great, do you pay your employee's health insurance, provide benefits, and pay matching SS and Medicare or do you do the subcontractor dodge like WTF?

this guy is the tea party backed challenger to mitch mcconnell....you would think someone from his staff would have at least looked at the list of speakers' and vetted them for ridiculous ideas....
it is strange that tea party members' who are known for having small dicks would endorse cock fighting....
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (AP) — Stepping into an issue on the political fringe, a Republican Senate candidate spoke at a Kentucky rally meant to build support for legal cockfighting, a bloody practice illegal under U.S. law.
Matt Bevin, the conservative tea party-backed challenger to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, portrayed the event last Saturday as a states' rights rally, but his appearance among cockfight backers prompted one animal-rights group to call on Bevin to withdraw from the May 20 Republican Party primary.
The McConnell campaign scoffed at Bevin's description of the event.
"Only Matt Bevin would go to a cockfighting rally and claim he didn't know what they were doing there," said McConnell's campaign spokeswoman, Allison Moore.
Bevin did not respond to several requests for comment Friday.
But he told WHAS-AM in Louisville he's never been to a cockfight and doesn't condone it.
Bevin also indicated in the radio interview that the U.S. government should give way to states on the matter. The federal bill that sets farm policy also prohibits knowingly attending an animal fighting venture, such as a cockfight.
McConnell's vote in favor of the bill irked cockfighting enthusiasts in his state.
It is a misdemeanor in Kentucky to enter a bird in a cockfight — in which roosters outfitted with spurs fight to the death while spectators wager on the outcome. The issue surfaces in Kentucky during occasional police raids on cockfighting rings.
Bevin, a Louisville businessman and political newcomer, is facing long odds in challenging McConnell, the longest-serving senator in Kentucky's history.
McConnell has a huge fundraising advantage. Bevin portrays McConnell as an out-of-touch Washington insider. The winner of the Republican primary will likely face Democratic front-runner Alison Lundergan Grimes in November.
Bevin never brought up cockfighting during his speech before about 700 people at the private rally at Corbin in southeastern Kentucky, but other speakers advocated for legal cockfighting after Bevin had left, said Craig Davis, president of the United Gamefowl Breeders Association. Other issues that came up included federal spending and federal involvement in personal lives, he said.
Animal rights activists were furious.
"Matt Bevin showed appalling judgment in associating himself with this band of lawbreakers and perpetrators of unspeakable animal cruelty," said Michael Markarian, president of The Humane Society Legislative Fund

I believe the signs are about taking funds from medicare to prop up Obamacare to make it look like Obamacare isn't nearly as expensive as the reality will reveal.
Like any American that has paid into a system, involuntarily, people want what they paid for.
