Liberals Hate Poor People

Hell if you form a liberal Tea Party that was concerned with fiscal responsibility I might be on the list to join.

I doubt a liberal tea party would want the same things as a conservative tea party. I was thinking more in the sense of a grass roots thing that businesses haven't crapped all over and influenced that at least some politicians had to listen to.

Really? What would you envision a liberal grass roots movement doing? Personally I believe in the Will Rogers version of liberalism. Im all for personal responsibility, personal contribution to social spending, and responsible social and health care reform at a state level. Im a big fan of being liberal with your own resources to solve social concerns.

I hate tea anyway. Liberals would find a much cooler drink to party with.

Well I don't think liberals would be against a balanced budget, however their approach to solving that would be different than the tea party approach (I have no doubt taxes would be raised and become more steeply progressive for example). I doubt it would be will rogers like.

I bet someone is thinking "kool-aid" would be worth mentioning as a possible put down :lol:

Coffee sucks too. Maybe fruit juice.

SOME of us are OK with tax increases PROVIDED that those tax increases didnt just give crack addicts more money to spend on crack and hookers.

Yes, we should not be funding crack addiction. I think everyone can agree on that one.

Dood you are SO going to lose a corner off your lib card for that...

Nah, see, the stereotypical lib position is that things are only cool if they aren't mainstream. This is why I wear a scarf in summer.

I think everyone is against that, but most liberals don't see the solution to that problem as just cutting the whole program. There is danger in uncontrolled spending, but there is also danger in unwise cuts as well.

I would agree. Ive said all along Im fine with social spending...I just believe it should actually be designed to HELP people and not be used as a political club or polling point.
 
Liberals, meaning the little liberals (as opposed to professional liberals), all the people who support liberal policy, don't hate poor people.
They are people with good intentions, but seriously misguided intentions, in my opinion.
