oh yes the TEA party, we all know they are against new taxes, small government and for the constitution, so is that bad for America??? Lets shift to what Kerry stands for, new taxes, free contraceptives,late term abortions for all, and bloated government, oh, and by the way no God , so is that even America???

Lower taxes and a balanced budget, I guess it’s time for a tea party

So the tea party wants to ‘Restore America.’ Trouble is, those who want to restore America want to do so with a new vision, not the nostalgic vision most hold. So that means lower taxes for the top 2 percent, who are already pay far less in taxes than they did in the nostalgic America of 50 years ago. They want to Restore America, they just don’t want to pay for it.

Wear it proudly Deb the label is accurate. You chose to be a member of the political group containing every smug, self righteous and political goofball in the land. Obviously you agree with the wacko’s so wear the label proudly. I trust Bob to inform all voters of your true beliefs..

Our ‘TEA Party’ principles and values are what has made America great. As a TEA Party organizer, I take great exception with Bob Kerry’s repeated attacks and mischaracterizations. He clearly does not understand our conservative movement nor does he seemingly desire to. I’m proud that Deb Fischer does and am happy to support her. You see, she feels as we do that America is at its best when all people have some stake in it, when people are challenged to take personal responsibility for themselves and for their government and when we are all afforded equal justice and equal opportunity not equal outcomes, socially selected justice and redistribution of the fruits of our labors. Achievement in America is to be honored and respected not scorned. Our TEA Party movement seeks to bring out the best in our elected leaders, we are the grassroots of our communities, we own businesses, we employ thousands and we are aren’t going away. Bob Kerry would do well to get to know those of whom he speaks.
-Patrick Bonnett, Conservative Coalition of Nebraska – Nebraska TEA Party

The 9 Principles
1) America Is Good.2) I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
God “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” from George Washington’s first Inaugural address.3) I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
Honesty “I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” George Washington4) The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government. Marriage/Family “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson5) If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it. Justice “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political.” Thomas Jefferson6) I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit of happiness “Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson7) I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable. Charity “It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity; all however, are worth of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.” George Washington8) It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion. On your right to disagree “In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks, or more properly without thinking.” George Washington9) The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me. Who works for whom? “I consider the people who constitute a society or a nation as the source of all authority in that nation.” Thomas Jefferson

And no Amnesty!

The Tea Party is patriotic, stands for solid values, The Constitution, Balanced Budget… what the heck is wrong with that? Bob’s attack puts him in the minority.

Joe, I’d like to ask you, when walkin j bob tells you to jump, do you ask him “how high” while you’re in the air or before?

Dear Old Bob has forgotten his manners since he moved lock, stock and barrel to NYC!!! It is going to take some not so gentle reminding for him to remember that you don’t insult folks in this part of the country for no good reason!!! But hey, we might just make a believer out of him yet . . . wouldn’t that be sweet?

And biff I’ll let you in on a dirty little secret, the rich pay MORE in tax revenue to the treasury NOW than they ever have. Noone ever paid the 90% tax in the fifties because they voluntarily QUIT WORKING before they had to pay it. That’s why John F Kennedy, yes him, slashed taxes and helped the economy until that lunatic lbj took over and skyrocketed taxes for his great society and sent us into an economic and inflation tailspin until Reagan came along, pulled a Kennedy and saved us.

You Tea Baggers are a bunch of whiners. I got your Tea Bag principles right here. You act like you came up with these ideas. I can’t wait to see hear the deafening silence when Kerry stomps on Duh, duh, duh Fischer.

To Patrick Bonnett…POPPY COCK No one elected you President and you (Tea Party) do not rule this country, Thank God! You and Dick Army can take your little cult and go to Mexico and live happily ever after cuz we are sick of hearing your backward bigoted ways.

How is the Constitution a Balanced Budget? That’s not part of the Constitution. The balanced budget isn’t in place because your last choice for President was Bush and we are still living with the Bush economics. Congress won’t get rid of that. Bob will do away with this hideous economic plan and gain one that will put our deficit on track.

As a liberal and probably a Progressive, I take offence to being called a communist. Don’t you know by voting for Deb is like voting in a facist?

Biff, under Bob and Obama’s plan they would reduce taxes on the middle class. Raise taxes on people that make over $250,000 on up. It’s not class warfare for the rich to pay more in taxes it’s patriotic!

What she did with Grover Norquist is a joke and she should be ashamed of herself. And yes Congress wont’ get rid of the Bush Tax Cuts but that can end with Bob in Congress. I don’t want to see a Romney/Ryan ticket because it would devastate my family. But you’re right Jason, Nebraskans wouldn’t know what to do if SS gets taken away and then bankrupt in less than 4 years. If we got rid of the Bush Tax Cuts then maybe we could work on our deficit.

He speaks for me and represents everything I want in a Congressman. Deb will extend the Bush Tax Cuts which would benefit the 1% and big corporations. Which means she would tax the hell out of the middle class. Wake up Republicans. Do your research. Congress has obstructed Americans for 2 years. Are you ready to put in another obstructionist? If you don’t like the way things look in Congress right now then look who you voted for and see why. Bob for Congress all the way!

ToucheTurtle you are so out of tune to what’s going on in America right now I don’t even know how to describe it with words. Deb would do nothing but raise our taxes, extend Bush Tax Cuts for the wealthy and big corporations. Medicare will be bankrupt in 4 years and that will be on Deb’s watch with a Romney/Ryan ticket. I don’t think our older Nebraskans want a voucher system which would only give them so much and wouldn’t be able to afford a good insurance policy so they will pay out of pocket. Yep that’s the ticket you want Deb on that’s fine with me but you will be sorry.

you don’t have a clue as to the Bush tax cuts do you?

I AM an older Nebraskan on Social Security and Medicare, and just in case you don’t know, Paul Ryan’s overhaul of SS & Medicare doesn’t effect ANYONE 55 or older!!! And the program will be revamped so you young pups might just receive something back from a program you will pay into all your working life at a time when you might need it the most! My daughter is 41 years old and is absolutely convinced that there won’t even BE a program when she gets ready to retire. I’d like to see SOMEONE try to prove her wrong instead of just doing the same old thing time after time, borrowing instead of solving the problem, and expecting different results!!! DUH!!!

And honey, you think I am out of tune “to what’s going on in America” . . . I hear the Democrats say that if Romney/Ryan get into office, Medicare as we know it will end!!!. Perhaps the bottom line is that no matter WHO is elected, programs for Seniors WILL end as we now know them – either they transform into a more efficient programs or they will surely die!!! Progressive ads talk about “throwing granny off the cliff” trying to scare our seniors to death, but they have NO solutions! What REALLY ought to scare seniors is that in 12 years or so, if we continue on the path we are on, there will be NO Social Security, NO Medicare, and NO Medicaid because we will be flat broke. Surely even Democrats recognize we cannot endlessly borrow without having to face the consequences of such action.

HEY, I have some REAL news for you . . . it doesn’t have a single thing to do with who is elected; it has to do with who has the GUTS to tell US the truth, and then try to solve the problem for ALL Americans!! If you think that is your party, show me viable EVIDENCE that they are going to at least ATTEMPT to save the program for all of us . . . including YOUR generation!!

I am glad you agree that God is NOT in the Constitution!! Frankly I am tired of hearing that The Constitution “requires separation of church and State!” Thank you for that small concession!

The fact that kristi doesn’t even know what office cosmic bob is running for and that congress can’t “veto” anything, only proves how stupid she and other libs are. And fwiw, go check out bob woodwards new book on who’s REALLY at fault for the “gridlock” the last few years kristi, here’s a hint, his initials are BHO.

Well resistwemuch, I beg to differ. But i’m sure you follow the likes of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. Deb signed an agreement with Grover Norquist to not raise taxes on the wealthy. Don’t you feel that’s obstructing our government. Why can’t the wealthy pay more taxes. It’s not class warfare, it’s patriotic. Facists promotes physical violence. With the extreem right wing politicians who spew their bigotry, hatred, and ignorance saying things like, shooting gays on site, killing children of immigrants, and voter suppression laws, and now Akins “legitimate rape” comment. That’s fascism. A facists goeal it to promote the rule of people deemed superior while seeking to purge society of people deemed inferior. Facism opposes conservatism and liberalism. Facism condems liberal democracy for basing government legitimacy on quanitiy rather than quality. Facists are hostile to financial capital, plutocracy, and the power of money. So if you want to google the definition of facism by all means do so because you are totally ass backwards. I support a party that wants to move forward, keep our state taxes down, and help to recover the deficit which Congress won’t get rid of the Bush Tax Cuts. I want someone who will work with our President, rather than an obstructionist like Deb.

Well I am on SSI and medicaid for health reasons I don’t feel I need to explain. Are you prepared to get a voucher for your Medicare and be given a measeley amount to get a for of privatized insurance? Health insurance companies won’t be regulated so they can raise the cost of premiums and you would eventually be paying out of pocket just to get a plan. Then will they accept you if you have pre existing conditions? Will your doctors take your insurance? How much out of pocket will you pay for your meds? At least Obama has saved Medicare through 2024 whereas there is proof and all you have to do is google it and don’t go to a Romney site but to politifact.com and see that under their watch Medicare will go bankrupt in 4 years. Romney wants to decrease Medicaid by a third and cap that so the states would get a blocked grant. The states will then be in charge of the financial requirements and decide who can be on Medicaid. That would affect me and my son. I make too much money on SSI as it is and have to spend down $90 a month on needless insurance policies just to be covered by Medicaid. I make too much for foodstamps but yet can’t afford to go grocery shopping every 2 weeks. Romney’s plan would not work for me nor will it work for you. Like I said go google his plan and use politifact to find your answers. They are an unbiased site.

Maybe if you could spell correctly and use correct grammar this would be a decent conversation. In 2010, Congress openly stated they will veto any bill that Obama wants and will make him a 1 term President. How is that working out for you Dan? It’s not working out for me. All Congress is doing is obstructing Americans because of their hate for our President. And yes Congress can veto any bill. Google it. And maybe you need to use politifact.com to check your facts which is an unbiased website.

And you all masturbate up and upon your own “God” and “Values” and “Constitution” and party’s spoon fed lines…so save it.

Kristi, you are a buffoon, dems had 60 senators from may 2009 after benedict arlen specter turncoated until Scott brown in early 2010 so repubs couldnt do ANYTHING to stop anything then. Bernie sanders is an admitted socialist and Lieberman is a liberal whose only an indy because he lost his dem primary in 2006 so i asume that’s where you come up with your WRONG # of 58. And i did read it, and you’re still wrong, congresses can’t veto anything, they simply refuse to pass it, only presidents can veto. As for taxes, what do you think of the 27 middle class taxes in obamacare, or bob kerreys tie-breaking vote in 1993 on taxing ss checks as income, slamming the middle and poor hardest, what do you think of kerrey voting to raise the national gas tax dozens of times, what do you think of kerrey raking in MILLIONS personally from tarp, huh??? And lastly, copying and pasting something from that liberal rag politifact proves how dumb you are.

Kristi, put the kool aid BARREL down and back away. The interns are on the way with your meds. we’ll get you through this.

And what of the body of the baby? Who speaks for the babies rights? The little baby that murderers try to call a medical choice. Murder is murder on the street or in the womb!

If Kerry wins you won’t have any money to buy him lunch with.

In 2010 Pelosi and the dumbasscrats still controlled conress kristi. And Congress has no “veto” power what so ever. Only dingleBARRY obama has veto power. What a waste. You have been told several times about veto power and still screw it up. Sad.

1. The “Bush tax cuts” were passed by a DEMOCRAT senate run by none other than your beloved tom huff daschle who subsequently lost his reelection to john thune. Anyway, what you are conveniently oblivious to is that receipts to the treasury HAVE NEVER BEEN HIGHER!!! So how could those tax cuts have added to the debt if the result was more money coming into the treasury, kristi??
2. You wanna know the dirty secret how obamacare achieves the “savings” in medicare, they stole 716 billion from future medicare outlays and appoint an unaccountable uncontrollable 15 member death panel called an IPAB to RATION CARE, and throws millions of elderly onto your beloved medicaid all the while slashing reimbursements to the point where doctors have already made clear they are no longer accepting either. And the worst of it is this, they slashed the program additional 40-60 billion a year arbitrarily, then passed a totally separate bill called a “doc-fix” that restores the cuts and presto, claim obamacare reduces the debt, while the separate doc-fix totally wipes that out and then some because that all has to be borrowed with interest.
3. Ben nelson signed the norquist pledge.
4. Boo hoo, you can’t get food stamps, maybe perhaps you could give up other things like your iphone or droid for a cheaper phone, internet, cable tv, maybe sell some things. It is true, govt programs are like crack, one taste and your hooked, and hell will freeze over before you take the treats and goodies away, but you’re right kristi, at least obama gave you free birth control, at least you got that, does medicaid, excuse me, the taxpayer pay for that btw?? Thank god you can have all the sex you want and not get pregnant, thanks to john and jane q taxpayer.

Punishing success is not patriotic, Kristi, it is foolish. If you REALLY wanted people to “pay their fair share” you would be screaming for a FLAT Federal Income Tax on ANY earned income over $10,000. That’s not what you want though, is it Kristi? You don’t want want people to pay their fair share…you want class warfare.

Guess the Sons of Liberty would not be supported by Kerry. After all the were a bunch of rebels that were tired of a government that taxed them, tried to hold them down,and rule them from an out of touch realm. Oh by the way that bridge to no where in Kerry’s honor all the action is in Iowa.

Randy you must not know your facts about what a fascist is. And i’m the 99% that Romney/Ryan/ Fisher will increase our taxes. Take away my SSI. I will not allow that to happen. And your conservative party has gone so far left that they have turn into bigots and racists. Let alone taking womens rights away. I watched both the RNC and the DNC. I’m surprised and shocked that with all the fact checkers out there that you wouldn’t be more embarrassed by the Republicans. Sorry but Democrats are looking forward not backwards.

You must not be for any womens rights then. And what about Romney profiting from a business of this that got rid of abortion wastes. How about Romney flip flopping on his idea to protect women then go against the women. You’re party is so screwed up in the minds that you don’t realize what’s fact from fiction anymore. I feel sorry for you.

There is no lying where i’m coming from Randy. Maybe you and your party need to get your facts straight!

Ben Nelson did sign it to cut down on spending. What Grover never said to anyone who signed it and disobeyed it they would be voted out of Congress by the public. Which means Grover and his super pacs would run dirty campaign ads in the states where someone disobeyed him. Nelson says the Taxpayer Protection Pledge should be subject to interpretation. It doesn’t have exculpatory language in case of a depression or a war. Meaning the middle and lower classes would see thier tax burden go up while it reduces the millionaires and billionaires.

Bob Woodwards book sticks to narrow focus on the debt ceiling negotiations, declining really to grapple with broader questions about the Obama administrations handling of the economic crisis it inherited after the 2008 crash. Boehner walked away from the deal and let Eric cantor and the Tea Party to then make thier own rules about the stimulus bill and whatever else Obama has worked for for the American people. Boehner said he would put revenue in there is there were real changes in entitlement programs which Obama will never cut. So basically you are listening and reading about the obstructionist Republicans that Woodward has quoted. And also in the past, Woodward has been known for writing straight ahead narratives, with little analysis, context or assessment. Now this is why I see you are a true Conservative because you believe all this BS.

In 1993 Clinton created the bipartisan commission on entitlement reform. The co chairs were Bob Kerry (D) and John Danfoth (R). The commission made little progess. The 2 co chairs developed thier own SS proposal which featured raising the retirement age to 70, a cut in the SS payroll tax, with the money redirected into mandatory private accounts and adopting price indexing. There was insufficient support for their proposal so it failed to achieve consensus. So your claim would then be null and void.

Bush initiated and signed legislation establishing TARP in 2008. Ads that Karl Rove and his super pacs are running false ads. Kerry said if Rove had a problem with this he should have convinced his boss, Presiden Bush, not to sign legislation establising TARP in the first place. In fact contributors to Crossroads GPS include companies that took TARP money, JP Morgan Chase received 25 billion and Morgan Stanley received 10 billion. That’s who is supporting your Deb Fisher. Fisher owes everything to Wall St. Her election was paid for by a wall street broker. Now all of Wall St. will expect something in return. If Fisher goes to Washington, she won’t be serving main street Nebraska.

Oh and by the way you may want to go see what the definition of fascist is. You may learn a lesson or 2.

When you live in a glass house, YOU should NOT throw rocks!!!

The repuglicans need to do some research…of the 12 districts that elected tea party candidates over candidates in the last election the 12 districts all got about the same monies from the GOVT that the progressive/liberals that lost….we all need term limits….when you get to Washington you spend and spend…where were all the republican spend thrifts during the Bush admin…tell me…Ryan voted “YES” for every republican spending bill in front of him….TERM LIMITS…in Nebraska…no accountability from Smith, Fortenberry, Terry, Johanns, and now another republican that benefits from a land lease deal….throw them all out…where is the tea party when fischer gets this GREAT land lease deal…

And you wanna piss and moan about kennedy and byrd dying, both Massachusetts and west virginia had democrat governors, complain to them about that. Byrd was carted onto the floor unconscious with a string on his wrist being pulled by harry reid to vote yes anyway. Harry reid already has his hand up cosmic bobs butt like a ventriloquist and his dummy.
