Unless I'm reading it wrong the tea bagger is the one who puts someone elses "you know what" in their own mouth while the tea baggee is the one who has said body part in that persons mouth.
But whatever you guys are into! j/k
Edit: Can't believe I googled it to find out but it looks like you guys were right!

You definitely are reading it wrong and got it back wards. The tea bagger is the one giving and the tea baggie is the one receiving. Are you dyslexic by chance? Next time try the urban dictionary. http://www.urbandictionary.....php?term=tea+bagger

In his new book, “The Great American Awakening,” South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint’s (also apparently known as “Senator Tea Party”) discusses his take on the Tea Party as well as his faith. If you don’t already know it, DeMint is an unabashed “Tea Party Republican” and Christian.
“(The Tea Party) is as much a spiritual awakening as a political awakening. The concern about our country…has awakened the faith of many people.”
“Big government is a religious issue. History shows in nations where there is a big government, there is a little God. When people are dependent on government, they are less dependent on God, and their spiritual fervor fades. Socialism and secularism go hand in hand, as do faith and freedom.”
According to Strand, Dr. Robert Jones, the CEO of the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), led a study last year that found a deep connection between conservative Christians and the Tea Party. Jones says:
“We found that nearly half, 47 percent, of those who say they consider themselves a part of the Tea Party movement also say they consider themselves part of the conservative Christian movement.”
Some critics contend that Tea Party adherents are more Libertarian in nature, but Jones disagrees. His research found the majority of Tea Partiers (63 percent) saying that abortion should be illegal — a view that aligns perfectly with the conservative Christian movement. NPR pulled out some of the highlights from PRRI’s research that help to reinforce this point:
[The Tea Party is] an overwhelmingly Christian group. 81% identify as Christian…and only 18% [are] in favor of gay marriage.

Good point. Compared to American demographics, there's a lower percentage of TEA Party Christians than there is in American society as a whole.
Still, the Tea Party wasn't about religion; however, the Christian Right has latched onto it. At it's inception, the Tea Party was about smaller government, fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, etc. To paraphrase John Stewart, if it's a grass roots movement, Ron Paul planted the grass.

My understanding of the act, now that I MUST define it, is that it is mereley bouncing ones sack off the forehead of another person. Male strippers do it a lot, watch "Pecker", dammit.

It has very little to do with the story line. It's a John Waters movie, you either love him or hate him, but either way, he is going to scandalize you.

Eh, I dare say that's but one aspect. Either that, or I've been doing it wrong.

...let's see. Is that 3 out of 4 of these candidates that are either Tea Party or Tea Party friendly? Neptune likes polls, so let's take a look at one:
PRINCETON, NJ -- President Barack Obama is closely matched against each of four possible Republican opponents when registered voters are asked whom they would support if the 2012 presidential election were held today. Mitt Romney leads Obama by two percentage points, 48% to 46%, Rick Perry and Obama are tied at 47%, and Obama edges out Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann by two and four points, respectively.
==============================
2 and 4 points are within the margin or error. And for a sitting president, this is VERY bad news. Tea Party dead? Not hardly.

Which candidate are you backing Bear? (that is if you've made a decision as of yet)

A look at presidential election trial heats conducted in the late summer of the year before previous elections reveals that such change is quite common:
In August 1999, Texas Gov. George W. Bush led Vice President Al Gore by 55% to 41% in a Gallup trial heat poll. That race ended up in a virtual dead heat, with Gore ultimately winning slightly more of the national popular vote than Bush.
In August 1995, Kansas Sen. Bob Dole was slightly ahead of President Bill Clinton in a Gallup poll, 48% to 46%. On Election Day 1996, Clinton beat Dole by eight points.
In August 1983, President Ronald Reagan was ahead of Democrat Walter Mondale by only one point, 44% to 43%. Reagan went on to beat Mondale in a 59% to 41% landslide in the November 1984 election.
In August 1979, incumbent President Jimmy Carter was tied with former California Gov. Reagan -- each getting 45% of the vote. Reagan ultimately defeated Carter by 10 points.

And Clinton was not worried about it. That was when he uttered the words; "It's about the economy stupid". And that will be the deciding factor in this next election. If it don't turn quick, Obama will not be able to run on his accomplishments, so it will be an attack campaign he will have to run. And it will not play well with the voters.

I don't see they have hijacked the Tea Party. I only get info from my sis, who says it is pure BS. She lives in San Antonio and is very active in it. I was actually surprised when she joined because of her previous voting record. Voted for Reagan's second term, Clinton twice, Bush's second term and for Obama.

Originally posted by tbone42: We have discussed this before, when speaking of education, you told me you had an inheritance that helped you with it when I said I had no money to retrain. (Dont ask me which thread) Since you already brought it up in public forum, I dont feel like I am giving away any of your personal financial business. (correct me if I am wrong) Some people dont even get that, so feel blessed you had something to help you along WITH all the hard work you put in. Some also succeed without any help of that kind. It happens and its wonderful,
Still.. I have no idea why you find my "many born with silver spoons" statement as personally insulting.. are you insulted
So why does it offend you? I take none of what you said as "jumping on me".. our talks are always civil in nature, I know where you are coming from, I just dont agree with all of it.
No, you aren't doing anything out of line in mentioning that. I was fortunately to get about $20,000 total, as I recall, from inheritance from my mother's passing, and my grandmother. But just to be clear, those happened while I was in medical school, and where they helped was in reducing my total 9 years of schooling debt from about $50,000 down to $30,000. So I was still going to be able to do the education, just that I was able to have lower payments of the loans.
Regarding the loans, it was about $300/month for 10 years. So it wasn't inconsequential, and it wasn't for a short period of time. Still, I took the loans out as an investment on my future, and that financial investment decision paid off many times.
Just so you are clear, I wasn't personally insulted BY YOU. As you stated, I feel we always just discuss things together, and if we disagree, it is a friendly disagreement. So thank you for that.
The reason why it is personally insulting to me, though, that my "success" is attributed to either a silver spoon, or getting the breaks (in Obama's campaign vernacular, 'winning life's lottery') is that it dismisses the incredible amount of work I have done. I have VIVID memories of working 50 hours per week during the school year in high school. I have VIVID memories of shoveling knee high hog poop out of pens in the summers as part of my way to pay for school. I have VIVID memories of 110 hour work weeks while in residency training.
So, yes, I got help from my mother and grandmother, as well as other family members along the way (non-financial). But without them, I still would have found a way to get it done.
But, please, no, YOU weren't personally insulting me at all. I want you AND everyone on the forum to know that you didn't do that.

Hmm. Just curious what you would base that on.
I don't listen to Beck much, but from what I have seen, he seems pretty much to be a guy who believes in the Constitution of the U.S., and wants to follow it.
And I'm not following the campaigns, so I don't know about Bachman, either.

not saying they are traitors, just saying their motivations are NOT patriotic - they are self-interest. They show NO actual interest in the nation in any other way other than how to make money off of it.

and there is yet to be a candidate with a (T)......they are just republicans.....
That is because the Democtatic party has been hijacked by the radical progressives, and their agenda is not what the Tes Party stands for. If a D were to run a campaign with the Tea Party ideals, the D party would have his nut$ big time. But some will lie this time around in close districts, with a wink and nod from Dem leaders.
Yeah I figure I would educate those a little bit about the wisdom of our greatest president.. who if alive today, would likely be a Democrat. (In other words, today's Republicans do not resemble anything close to what they used to be, ever since the 60s when the racist dixiecrats jumped ship for the Republican party.)
