The Tea Party isn't even a party. It is a movement.
<quoted text>
Rep. Michael McCaul who has a net worth of $294.21 million and Rep. Darrell Issa who has a net worth of $220.40 million are both Republicans. They are the richest members of Congress. The people you mentioned are not even close to the richest in Congress. I don't know who told you what you said, but you've been misinformed.
I think in order to be a rethuglican you have to not be able to think and reason. They belive some of the most stupid outrageous things that have no merrit of fact basis. Sara(Scara)Palin manipulated people like these into giving her 22 milion dollars pretending to use it to run for president. When she got all that money she dropped out of the race and didn't return the money. If I have given her any I would have asked for it back but not these ill informed people!

I also assume that it is Fox News that you are watching. They lie far more often than any other legitimate news organization. Follow up research on the things you are informed. Check multiple sources.

Reuters and BBC are probably the most trustworthy news sources.

Hmmm... and here all along, I thought it had something to do with moonshiners and the revenuers. Republicans did not like having their 'shine taxed. Then after that, it became tradition to be Republican here.

<quoted text>Yeah if you are a hypocrit. Most of you want to kill the unborn, have gay marriage, support the lazy and give rights to prisoners..what a great party...we should all sign up for that one..
Republicans contradict themselves. It was a Republican Governor that released the killers from prison before he just left office, it is the republicans who go into wars that kill children everyday, it is the republicans that do not want a woman to have contraception, but when she has the babies will let them starve to death. As for gay people, all people deserve human rights. I do not believe abortion should be a form of birth control. I do know if a rich girl gets pregnant daddy takes her to a real doctor, and not some back room or basement for someone to perform one on the poor girl. Like it or not that is the way it would be. That is the way it was. Jesus was about helping the poor, the republicans if they had the majority of the house, and presidency would do away with that. They to would do away with civil liberties for all people. They want to use God's name for cool-aid drinkers, in other words, they play on little pions, by using their religion to gain votes from them. I believe in helping the poor, not going into wars in places that did not attack us. I believe in God, and I understand Jesus was sent to teach us we are to have compassion toward all peoples, so if kindness, and compassion are how we are to be, I am a democrat. I learn and think for myself, not what someone else may want me to believe. I have lived and learned and I am not worried about republican or democrat, when it comes to religion, God had none, I go on Jesus' teachings to live my life by, not what a praying millionaire on television wanting the poor votes to buy into their game want.

I read maybe post and i just shutter to think he calls himself a christian. First of You start of playing politics, God not a dem or republican so get of your horse on that. Second you claim soldiers kill babies, you ever read how God hate esau while he was in his mother womb please read and learn. When in war fighting to keep this country free so people like you can have religious freedom God honors soldiers read your bible and see what the father has to say about that. Aparently you never read how God and Jesus both tell you homosexuality if an abomintaion look it up educate yourself then you know what the bible says.Its shame you call yourself a christian you an apeaser you try to please everyone afraid of the truth well You will be judge by the fathewr and when he ask do you follow my word or words of man whats going to be your answer.
As for politicans i pay attention to there actions, when one party does whole hardly suport killing of unborned, think 2 men or 2 women can be called a husband and wife then i not what they stand for, nothing but eagernous to stay in office. A true christian has spirtual discernment and will follow God not mans words. You go right on calling yourself anything you want but when that time comes and you are with the father then will you be one of those crying for the mountains to fall on you out of shame.

I got news for you all things going to get worse. We have elected fools as leaders and they only have one thing in mind that is power. Power gives them control over the money and money is what most people are after. When this idiot we got as president was running for office people refused to listen or watch what he had done or was saying. He said he wanted to do away with coal minning well his regulation through the EPA is sure doing that. He told you he wanted abortions to kill the baby and free a woman from the burden of rasing and unwanted child and yet you voted for him. He is piting people against each other, if you have worked and done good he wants you to share with thjose to sorry or ignorant to help them,selfs and you voted for him. I know this going to make certain people mad, and i be called a racist but voting for someone just because of his colored is stupid, man i love herman cain and he was black and we saw how the powers of both parties done him just because he was conservative. This act along should tell any intelegent person whats going on. Now you can blame anyone or anything you like but untill we the people put aside the d or r in a candidate, stop listening to a corrupt media and use that brain God gave us then nothing will ever change. We the people have the power and they should fear us not the other way .
Its come down now to to societies, ones that work and want better things and then the ones that are moochiers, lazy, worthless and happy with a government check and stamps. Whats so frightening is they getting to be more of the moocheiers, lazy worthless people then they are the working ones. When 54% of people have to depend on the government for help then something has to give and all you sad sacks can say oh its the rich fault, i got news flash if not for the rich they be a lot less jobs, companys and oportunities for you to get ahead in live. I ran a business and i can tell you this fact a company is only as good as its workers and if you got wasteful workers you not in business long. Now you can sad rich don't pay enough well the more you give these idiot politicans the more they will want in the name of helping you but like fools you beleive them. Well hows the help- they giving you today, electric bills doubling, food prices doubling and medical, gas and just everday things get so high you get sick at it. thats my rant, like it, love it or leave it i don't care but if you elect fools then what does that make you.
why do republican's CRY so much? dry your eyes and wipe your nose on your shirt sleeve, it will be better, when President Obama gets them pubs to stpo crying and pass some bills that will us poor folks here in the hills. so stop crying because you priced yourself out of business, roll up them snotty shirt sleeves and start over.

One can tell you just typical person could careless about the truth. If you not a check drawer then you should be for they no honest company hire a fool like you(and i did say fool). Guess high gas prices, food prices, elctric bills don't matter to a fool. I will say this can tell you never worked hard or you be mad at all politicans way things are. Anyone with a brain knows what happening, they reward you if you want work and suck you dry on any income you have if you do work. Such a fool as you i hope you have to go inside and abandoned mines to get coal to heat that government house you proably got, maybe you open them ignorant eys and see reality. One thing i despise is idiots and brother you at the top there old democrat fool.

I believe it was king george that got us into debt by starting two wars and not funding them. He never included the cost of the wars in his budget. President Obama includes these costs and that is why dumb rethuglicans think he ran up the debt!!!!!

Confused. You are confused. Obama passed health reform by pushing down everyone throat when he had control on both the house & senate. Secondly, you grandmother can get help for cancer treatments. Try doing a little research the is medicaid assistance programs to go along with Medicare. There are also grants you can get to help. Get off your tush and go get her the assistance she needs. Also the cancer centers will not turn you down as long as you make even the smallest monthly payments. Back to taxing the rich. This makes zero sense. And if you believe in that line you are being feed by the government. Who decided that 250,000 was the cut off line for being poor. If you live in reality people making 250k a year is pretty well off.

He can't do much due to the Republican-majority Congress. He did manage to pass a health reform, which I wish was passed earlier. My great grandmother is too poor and can't afford treatment for cancer. He does want to increase taxes on the rich, particularly those that make more than $250,000 a year.
<quoted text

Being Gay is totally against the Bible.

There are pro-life and anti-gay marriage democrats. Abortions will still happen even if the bill is turned around. Gay marriage has nothing to do with your church, I can assure. They just want to be able to have the same benefits that you have. They want to make a lifetime commitment to the person they love and to protect their families.
Helping the poor is a thing that you should be doing. Even if they are "lazy", they probably have children who are suffering for it. There are great programs that some local churches are doing to help with this, but it isn't enough.
I'm not sure what you're talking about with "rights to prisoners."

My comment goes to the need for real, authentic, people and community oriented leadership development. We MUST as citizens of our collective communities commit to support, vote for, and elect new people to office that demonstrate a desire to re-build our communities.

With new leaders (regardless of party affiliation) we can start anew with development ideas and begin to resolve some of the issues that affect our hometown.

We need Board of Ed. members who are not inheriting the seat and who are not involved in nepotism practices but who actually have the interets of the youth and future in mind and in practice.

We need City leaders (mayor/council) who want to grow and re-vitalize the downtown area for local merchants, who seek out investment development, and who are not self-serving and trying to create city jobs for political favors and support from vested interest families.

We need County leaders (judge executive/magistrates) who actually want to create an environment whereby development efforts can be realized through effective collaboration with state agencies, federal programs, and private corporations.

In essence, to be blunt and to quote a newly released book, we need to "Throw the Bums Out" and start fresh with leaders who want more for the community and for the youth than corruption, nepotism, and poverty.

Start fresh with leaders like who ? Maybe you Roger and some of your self appointed cronies is the way to improve our City , County and School Board Members ? It's been tried before but always seems to fail due to greed and self interest. Clay County , Manchester and the School System struggles due to a lack of a tax base. A few work and pay taxes and the majorty pay nothing or do nothing for our County. Drugs, welfair, No Jobs, and a lack of pride is what is hurting this County.

Ms. Lewis, Why such a negative tone and attitude toward someone who proposes ideas about re-building our community with authentic leaders who are not self-serving but who prefers to encourage citizens to evaluate candidates based upon qualifications, vision, and a desire to make a difference!!

Geesh, how about you propose a few ideas and offer a constructive post for readers to consider!!

Topix doesn't have to be a bash site, it can be a vehicle by which ideas and postive expressions can be shared!!

Because we're not confused. We can see the forest. Those of you who are confused are basically wondering through the desert. Some will stop, dig a well with their own hands and become republicans. Some will look for someone else's water, drink to much and become addicted to "free" water. They will become democrats. Some will wonder aimlessly forever; confused. It's not to late. Open your eyes. Even a kitten doesn't stay in the dark forever.
