Redistribution of wealth fosters mediocrity. Always has, always will. And Santelli was willing to say it. Before CNBC yanked the poll, nearly a quarter million people had responded, and of those, some 95% expressed willingness to join the Chicago Tea Party.

You disagree with Santelli’s motives? You think that because he’s on Wall Street his opinion doesn’t count? Okay, that’s your opinion. But to deny the fact that this one guy galvanized an entire massive group of people is to cut off your nose to spite your face.

Unless you have an alternate plan, I’d suggest getting on board the Chicago Tea Party concept. Me, I’m going to push my local news outlets to report the concept. Even if CNBC has yanked the poll, the video has gone viral and I think it’s a great message that needs to be co-opted and drum-beaten into the public consciousness.

No more entitlements. No more redistribution. It’s not your money to spend.

Not as much gimmick, too far from Ohio.

I am hearing this all over the place.
People are just plain Pissed off at
The elitist congress
The gag messiah who is dumber than a rock
All of the tax cheats running our country
And congress just spent another 850 billion on condoms, birth control in other nations, giving poor people in africa free abortions..
All at tax payer expense..

Now obama wants to GIVE free mortgage re-adjustments to all of the people who couldnt make the payments in the first place..

So WHY should I
Pay my mortgage
Pay my car payment
Pay my credit card off
Pay my TAXES (Hell all of congress evades taxes like the plague)..

Please tell me since all of the liberals wakos are running our entire country into the ground (in less than 4 weeks)

CRAP we have 4 more years of these morons

Please tell me how spending money on condoms is going to create jobs.. (ok except for barney franks)

This guy is really Joe the Plumber 2.0, and just as phony.

Draw me a flow chart demonstrating the damage from Wall St to your state. I’ll bet ya can’t. “Wall Street is da debbil” is just another talking point.

I would only need to draw it based on the numbers of workers displaced directly, or indirectly from factories going to Third World/FTA countries.

To take a few words from Pearlstein:
Wall Street isn’t the devil so much as it’s a bunch of “petulant children” who aren’t getting their way. Some of them have yet to wake up much less want to reconcile with reality.

A Chicago day trader acting like he’s one of us, how precious. Its idiots and swindlers like him that got this country in trouble. A blowhard punk trader, yeah guy, your the one I want to listen too about middle class problems. puh…..leeze.

Man, I don’t like President Ogabe either, but isn’t it a bit harsh to talk about him like this?

WOW! TA DA! +100

Just from a state that knows the worst of Wall Street, many times over.

Pick up the phone and call Donald Trump; he will be VERY happy to answer that question. He was right about the oil sky high price and I believe if someone grabs him, he will have his say about this situation.

Anybody know where we can get large quantities of tea? There are so many liberal tea pansies on the web, I can’t find a source via the search engines.

FuriousAmerican on February 20, 2009 at 9:03 AM

I believe look at hotel suppliers, or Sam’s Club. Distributers and of course, nothing organic/new out there b/c prices would skyrocket.

They might on tea, if this keeps on going.

1) Harrisburg – Rendell’s office
2) Wherever Murtha’s office is, and at Biden’s Land
3) Pittsburgh
4) Erie or Philly

You don’t really want the Octomom to have to live on the street, do you?

Local news here in LA corrected yesterday’s story. She is not buying the house. She was there to do an interview.

There are reports that Gloria Aldred (that celebrity lawyer) may buy her a house, if someone else pays $135k/year for nannies to help the mom.

AP please remove “The obligatory” from your headline and replace with “The absolutely imperative”.

This story is too important to treat with your usual blase’ header.
