Is this tea bagging thing not the most hysterical thing!!

First off the name, it shows what a time warp they live in! "Let's tea bag the White House, and give Obama a good licking." LMFAO!

Also the orginal Boston Tea Party had to do with taxation without representation, and that the tax dollars were not going to the colonies, but to England.
And what they will be protesting tomorrow will be Bush's tax laws!! And when Obama's tax code does begin it will increase the tax rate somethig like 3 or 4% for the wealthiest Americans, everyone else will be getting a tax BREAK!! So all these working class people out there being led by the nose by Newt, Beck, Limbaugh, and Faux News are protesting against their own interests. Silly Republicans, they have to be the most uninformed group of sheep on the planet, and they keep proving it over and over again!!!

from rush's show yesterday...
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You know what we have learned about the Somali pirates, the merchant marine organizers that were wiped out at the order of Barack Obama, you know what we learned about them? They were teenagers. The Somali pirates, the merchant marine organizers who took a US merchant captain hostage for five days were inexperienced youths, the defense secretary, Roberts Gates, said yesterday, adding that the hijackers were between 17 and 19 years old. Now, just imagine the hue and cry had a Republican president ordered the shooting of black teenagers on the high seas. Greetings and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.

what a hypocrite rush is, had obama done nothing he would have been considered weak, now because he was successful, rush is calling him a killer of teenagers, isn't this the same guy that kept referring to obama using his middle name, this just gets better and better

Top G.O.P. Consultant Endorses Gay Marriage
By Katharine Q. Seelye

If Steve Schmidt is for same-sex marriage, can Senate Republicans be far behind?

Well, yes. We don’t expect establishment Republicans in Washington — or establishment Democrats, for that matter — to suddenly endorse gay marriage. But in a possible sign of the momentum of the gay-marriage movement, Mr. Schmidt, who was a senior adviser to the Republican presidential nominee, Senator John McCain, last year, is promoting gay marriage this afternoon.

He endorsed same-sex marriage last month, in an interview with the Washington Blade.

Today, Mr. Schmidt, who also served as a top Bush aide, discusses the subject with the Log Cabin Republicans, a group that supports gay rights. According to CNN, he will call on conservative Republicans to drop their opposition at a lunchtime speech in Washington.

Mr. Schmidt, who has a sister who is a lesbian, plans to say that there is nothing about gay marriage that is un-American or that threatens the rights of others and that in fact it is in line with conservative principles.

“There is a sound conservative argument to be made for same-sex marriage,” Mr. Schmidt plans to say, according to speech excerpts obtained by CNN. “I believe conservatives, more than liberals, insist that rights come with responsibilities. No other exercise of one’s liberty comes with greater responsibilities than marriage.’”

His remarks come in the midst of a flurry of legislative and judicial activity advancing gay marriage in various states. In the last two weeks, Iowa and Vermont have approved same-sex marriage, joining Connecticut and Massachusetts. The movement appears to be picking up steam in other states too, including New York, where Gov. David Paterson introduced a bill on Thursday to legalize gay marriage.

In his interview with The Blade, Mr. Schmidt said he voted against California’s Proposition 8, which ended same-sex marriage in that state. Mr. McCain supported the measure and has opposed gay marriage.

But Mr. Schmidt, who said he has never agreed “100 percent” with any candidate for whom he has worked, is undeterred.

“I’m personally supportive of equality for gay couples and I believe that it will happen over time,” he told The Blade. “I think that more and more Americans are insistent that, at a minimum, gay couples should be treated with respect and when they see a political party trying to stigmatize a group of people who are hard-working, who play by the rules, who raise decent families, they’re troubled by it.”

He said that his views had been shaped by the presence of a gay person in his family. He did not disclose his sister’s identity but said she accepted her sexual orientation.

“I think one of the most tragic things in the world [is] when people are closeted and are denied their sexuality and this incredibly important part of their lives and the destructive potential of that action,” Mr. Schmidt told The Blade. “And I’ve come to believe over time that, as Dick Cheney said, freedom for everybody means freedom for everybody.”

Mr. Cheney has a lesbian daughter.

It would be a watershed moment in American politics if other Republicans began supporting gay marriage, just as it would be if President Obama joined some of his fellow Democrats and got on board.

In last year’s presidential campaign, Mr. Obama said he believed marriage should be between a man and a woman, but he also said he opposed a constitutional amendment to protect traditional marriage.

“Historically we have not defined marriage in our constitution,” Mr. Obama said in August at a forum at the Saddleback Church with Mr. McCain. “It has been a matter of state law. That’s been our tradition.”

He did say he supported civil unions. “I don’t think in any way this affects my core beliefs about what marriage is,” Mr. Obama said. “My faith is strong enough and my marriage is strong enough that I can afford those civil rights to others.”
