tpaine: You may have a Masters degree but it sounds like you have never actually learned how to think.

James Twomey Says:

“I agree with Axelrod. These teabaggers are like robots set in motion by right-wing influences that have always been able to convince a portion of the population that they should support what is actually the opposite of what would be in their best interest. I have seen this work with illiterate and under-educated people in third-world countries. It seems to work with the less informed people in the US also. Education is the answer. People need to be taught to think with discrimination. At the moment the right-wing people of influence are trying to make people afraid rather than smart. It is really sick.”

I’ve got news for you… I’ve got a Master’s degree and I was out there. Go ahead and keep kidding yourself that these folks are robots. We’ll see how close the mid-term elections of 2010 mirror 1994. If they don’t the American people deserve what they vote for.

I guess in your opinion the “rent a mob” protests of the left are not robots? When was the last time you saw a left-wing protest without broken glass and flipped cars? If being well-behaved as a protesting mob earns us the label of robots, that’s ok by me.

Axelrod says we are getting tax cuts? What a joke! I pay the highest state taxes, highest sales tax, highest county taxes living in Northwest Suburban Chicagoland. This guy is an absolute moron! I should thank O’Bama for my $80 tax cut per year - give me a break people! My state of Illinois (filled with crooks) takes the money back 2fold everyday!

Tea Party participants are just exercising their civic rights still not trampled by the government.

Sad to see some Americans have no idea of what it means to be an American.
It’s also kinda funny to see people like Axelrod step up to the plate and make negative statements against fellow citizens exercising rights.
Makes you wonder just where people like Axelrod, Napolitano,Janeane Garafolo,Paul Begala,came from and what kinds of social values they have,or lack of.

James, your answer is what’s really sick. You just demeaned and insulted everyone who doesn’t agree with you. You are the one that can’t accept that people have minds of their own and think for themselves. You are the one parroting talking points. you have nothing original to say.

Take it as a sign that the left has nothing to say - and so must resort to ad hominem attacks.
