To those that have more shall be given

And you have a citation for that, right? Because from this side of the pond, I see lots of headline republicans going out of their way to put their names to the teahadists, haven't yet seen any dems however.

Err, no, you merely need a blending of corporations and government. For the repubs it's the oil and defence industries, for the Dems, the media industry.

No, government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers in the private sector. Most of realize that cheaper gas prices means a better economy and buying domestic oil means jobs. We are bleeding what, nearly a billion dollars each day to pay for foreign oil (mostly Canada and Mexico).

Not to mention ethnic minorities, gays, women and non Christians...

There are two Tea Party candidates running for the GOP nomination. In second position:

and in third position:

Two none white males are in the top tier is good enough for me as a non Christian, I'll gladly vote for either one. There are no white males running for the GOP nomination that I would really bother with.

Somalia just called, they said to tell you you're full of it if you genuinely believe that.

Like you have a clue what you are talking about.

@Dammy,
Note my post was newer and contained a larger sample set by the same Gallup. This shot the 49% Republican to 80%. Which I think is more realistic. Even using your post we can see 70% are conservative.

There are two Tea Party candidates running for the GOP nomination.

More properly said there are two GOPs which signed on to the Tea Party Platform within the Republican Party. Bachmann's ideas are crazy and then some. Her Congressional record is crappy. She fronted no major policies. She's worked at running for the next election shortly after she was sworn in. Obama was criticized for his 'Do nothing in Congress'. Bachmann did even less.

Bachmann's husband runs a "health" care project to convert Gays to Straights through Christ. And this organization takes government funding. Really no surprise that a Tea Party Republican takes money from the government. To go on the Tea Partiers don't want a balanced budget. They simply don't want to pay anything to live in the USA. If they really wanted to balance things the Tea Party would start with calling for an immediate withdrawl of all Bush policies including the tax cuts.

No, government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers in the private sector.

But they do. No bid contracts for Haliburton, anyone?
Any time the government buys anything from the private sector it is picking a winner. All the contracts to run prisons required picking a winner - and the winners tend to be the ones with the most political influence. It's called corruption.

What governments SHOULD do is make sure that there is competition and that is why the US has (except on those occasions when it forgets the lessons of history) repeatedly broken up monopolies and passed legislation to prevent excessive mergers.

Bachmann is a beard for her self hating gay husband

Instead of running for the Tea Party. Funny how the Tea Party candidates only seem to run under a GOP flag. Sounds kind of like it isn't really its own party.

Citing the opinion of David "Axis of Evil" Frum is only proof that David "Axis of Evil" Frum is a git.

I do agree with David "Axis of Evil" Frum opinion why Obama is Leaderless and Pathetic.. I only put text with "proof" to make user click on and read if they are in the mood at lease I made the user click on "proof"

Faethors poll trumps yours and then some.

No, government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers in the private sector.

And yet, they both do so.

Two none white males are in the top tier is good enough for me as a non Christian, I'll gladly vote for either one. There are no white males running for the GOP nomination that I would really bother with.

Michelle Bachmann and her pray the gay away husband (who btw is quickly becoming a regular on Fundies Say the Darndest Things), I'd like to say that those two are the worst, but the teahadists have form for their speakers spouting off pretty bigoted crap since their formation.

Like you have a clue what you are talking about.

Plenty actually. But thanks for playing. Tyranny needs no centralisation or massive government. All it needs is a group of people with a whole lot of firepower and the willingness to impose their will on another group. Somalia is a fine example of the inevitable conclusion of anarchy. No big centralised government, but you'd be hard pressed to claim that the civilian population wasn't living under a bunch of tyranical warlords now.

I made the same point on here months ago.

And from where I'm sitting it appears that the same people who claim the so-called tea party is an actual party all seem to vote for the GOP.

Walks like a duck, etc.

Perhaps, although I prefer to think I clicked your link, not because you "made" me but because I was interested in what this "proof" would be. I clicked it, and it wasn't proof. This is what you intended. Bravo you!

And there's another side to that coin; this site is not meant to be an exercise in deceiving other posters into clicking things that are not what you say they are. Your apparent smugness at having pulled off this deception makes it less likely that I'll take your links as seriously in future. I'd be surprised if one or two others didn't feel the same.

No, government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers in the private sector.mergers.

Of course they should. This statement is insane. We live in the USA a country of, by, and for the people. If one group is able to impose their will on others for any reason such as polluting shared resourcesor failing to follow the laws (for example hiring illegals) They are taking away from the nation itself. The corporations are subject to the nation. Not vice versa as your statement here would like us to believe.

It appears you do not realize it but the right to pick winners and losers is in the US constitution itself. It grants the US Federal government the right to regulate foreign and interstate markets. What you've said here goes against the documents on which our society is based.

I think the Tea Party will agree with you for the most part....

Listening to the far left is like listening to a sock puppet....

somehow this image seems appropriate here:

It has never claimed to be a party. The tea party is mostly going back to what the republican party is supposed to be.

Don't tell me that. Tell Dammy.

I'll keep that in mind. I was not going to keep deceiving the link in this forum as it may push too far.
