Questions for Rick Perry and the Tea Party GOP
Tweet Share on Facebook August 24, 2011 Comment (13)My post last week about the party formerly known as the GOP was such a hit that I decided to quickly follow it up with my latest observations on the Party of Tea (POT, for short). To be honest, the post wasn't a hit but a lot of readers did want to hit me. So here is this week's Party of Tea Hit Parade courtesy of Casey Kasem.

The Tea Party Makes a Train Wreck of the GOP

Watching the Tea Party's presidential nomination campaign is like watching George Romero's classic zombie movie Night of the Living Dead. The campaign is repulsive but you can't take your eyes off it.

Time for Democrats to Put Up or Shut Up on Jobs

The new deficit deal just shows you that no person's life, liberty, or property is secure while this legislature is in session unless you're a banker, billionaire, corporate jet setter, hedge fund manager, or oil company executive. Then you're okay. But if you are unemployed, the deficit deal will cut funding for the extension of unemployment benefits. This creates a real hardship when there are six Americans chasing every single available job here. But if jobless Americans are wiling to move to Bangladesh, big business will gladly use its federal tax freebies to create jobs for them there at $1 per day.
