  - pull the other one! -- nm - znufrii Oct 2, 12:31
  - L6! -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 12:24

Prove me wrong... - Mr. Havens Oct 2, 11:57 21
- the hatred of the income tax and rosevelt was pretty intense during ww2 when it was confiscatory for the wealthy, they feared him more than nazis -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 2, 12:41
- I believe the platform is a lot more encompassing. - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 12:02 3
  - My dad is a Tea Party acolyte, and I've never once seen or heard him voice concern over gun laws or illegal immigration - Mr. Havens Oct 2, 12:11 2
    - "Only Government Spending and how much he hates Obama." So... nothing about taxes? - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 12:16 1
      - I thought being an acolyte of a group who acronym stands fo Taxed Enough Already kinda supports the basic theory you think you're taxed enough already -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 2, 12:19
- Whether you are accurate or not (I am not sure) I think may be irrelevant. - ty97 Oct 2, 11:58 14
  - We make it relevant by using facts and figures to prove these chucklenuts for the idiots they are - Mr. Havens Oct 2, 11:59 13
    - You misunderstand me. The argument 'we are taxed too much' is an opinion and it is not refuted by the fact that taxes used to (maybe) be higher - ty97 Oct 2, 12:01 6
      - That's kind of the point, though. People in 1963 making $400k were taxed at 91%. Today, it's 35% -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 2, 12:05 4
        
        What if I think 20% is the fair number? Then 35% and 91% are both too high IMO. -- nm - ty97 Oct 2, 12:07 3
        
        I said prove me wrong, not prove you're an idiot - Mr. Havens Oct 2, 12:09 2
        
        But I didn't say you were wrong, I just said you were on the wrong bus. -- nm - ty97 Oct 2, 12:12 1
        
        FWIW: I think he's on the wrong board -- nm - Qale Oct 2, 12:13
      - (more) So if the Tea Party is arguing 'we have never paid more in taxes', absolutely look for facts to refute that. - ty97 Oct 2, 12:02
    - facts, figures, reason and logic are not in play with the Tea Party -- nm - Epiphany Oct 2, 12:00 5
      - and all the cutbacks to education just ensure that the problem will continue to procreate -- nm - Beryllium Oct 2, 12:00 4
        
        I do wish spending was the simple answer. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 12:08 [Image]
        
        I am a certified conspiracy theorist - and I firmly believe there has to be some strategy for them in that area - Epiphany Oct 2, 12:07 2
        
        (And the *electorate* that we want, too.) - Kim Pine Oct 2, 12:13 1

  - This is just one example of how to go about doing it, though -- nm - prayformojo Oct 2, 12:02 1

How about some early Halloween stuff. Drive Thru pranks YouTuber scares up folks with his skeleton driver. -- (link) - Qale Oct 2, 11:52 [youtube]
Is it correct to say that there isn't much Tea Party influence in the Senate? If so, why is there (comparably) more influence in the House? -- nm - prayformojo Oct 2, 11:49 14
- To the first part, no. We've still seen the Tea Party make inroads - Cruz, Rubio, Rand Paul all have tea party connections. Jim De Mint too, while he - Roger More Oct 2, 12:03
- Thanks, everybody -- nm - prayformojo Oct 2, 11:52 1
  - Even without gerrymandering, House members are usually going to be more extreme because they have to campaign in midterm elections - con_carne Oct 2, 12:02
- Senators have to represent an entire state, whereas Reps only have to deal with a smaller, usually gerrymandered, area. -- nm - znufrii Oct 2, 11:50 3
  - also, the GOP doesn't have a majority in the senate, so what little influence the tea party has there cannot really be leveraged. -- nm - znufrii Oct 2, 11:52 1
    - But we keep trying -- nm - Ted Cruz Oct 2, 11:55
  - this -- nm - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Oct 2, 11:51
- cheaper to get elected to the House. -- nm - colin Oct 2, 11:50
- Senate = rich old white dudes. House = the unwashed masses. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 2, 11:50 1

- only coffee machines in the house? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 2, 11:50 1
  - Not from the reports we heard yesterday. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 11:57

- Gerrymandering -- nm - ty97 Oct 2, 11:49
The NFL spent over 20 years working against the science connecting football to head related injuries -- (link) - Beaker Oct 2, 11:48 1

HUMP DAY, YEEAH!!!!! -- nm - Camel on a Wednesday Oct 2, 11:46
Word. -- nm - Jim Oct 2, 11:45 5
- This team goes to eleven. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 11:45 4
  - If I was the twelfth player on that team I'd be pissed. -- nm - decline Oct 2, 11:49 3
    - You would also get your team a penalty if you were on the field. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 11:50 2
      - I'd totally pick the number 11 for my jersey too. - decline Oct 2, 11:51 1
