Scott McClellan must be so relieved that Robert Gibbs showed up to take away the title “Most pasty-faced, creepy, nasty little troll to serve as White House Press Secretary”.
They are making a mistake when they continue to “call out” private
If for NO OTHER REASON, I love Rick Santelli for doing one thing; getting the uninterested, INTERESTED!! Let the people of this great nation come to their own conclusions.
The playbook is not about discussing/debating the issue. It’s about digging up anything and everything about Rick’s past. If he sneaked a peek at his dad’s Playboy’s at 13 maybe he isn’t morally balanced. If he dated a cheerleader in High school maybe he’s some sort of pervert. If he drives a big American car maybe he’s un-American because of his carbon footprint. If he lives in a house over 750 square feet maybe he’s ‘just’ another selfish capitalist.
On the other hand maybe, just maybe, Rick has a point that will survive the MSM misdirection that is about to be unleashed. Matthews and Olberman will not allow any criticism of this administration. F them.
Keep it up Rick, a rational idea will stand up to the fiercest scrutiny and criticism. By invoking the fundamental principles of our country, this protest will not be just a passing fad. The ‘nerve’ that you’ve struck with the American people is the nerve that leads to the heart and soul of our liberty and personal freedom! “Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death” - Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775. The government is growing too large, too fast! We must exercise our right to stand up against the government and get them out of our backyards, out of our pockets!!
Go get’m Rick! I thought I could not get madder after the fifth nominee for Obama’s cabinet had tax problems. Those jerks in congress definitley have their heads up their butts! At the Tea Party or sooner, I want all IRS audits to immediately cease and focus their attention auditing every Beurocrat or elected official earning $50K or more subjecting 100% of them to an audit. Give them a chance to fess up and just pay, then audit them and if they have cheated, throw them in jail. I am sick of the double standards by a bunch of lawyers who have no clue how capitalism works!
We’re in at our house! If bikers can keep the Sturgis Rally together all these years surely we can have a wave of “Tea Parties” that continues over this next couple election cycles! Mad as hell doesn’t even begin to describe…
He is exactly right. Just because I am making my mortgage payments doesn’t mean that I am rich or that I am living just like I was a year ago. Between my wife and I, we are working 3 jobs so that we can afford some extra things in life and it is really helping right now. We have cut back. I need a car because the one that I now have is almost 20 years old (I take very good care of my cars). Am I going out an buying a brand new one? Heck no, I just bought a nice used one that needs some transmission work and I’m doing it myself. A lot of us are cutting back and STILL making our payments!!
It’s easy to steal from the rich and give to the poor, when we’ve got some 67,000 pages of tax code. When are we finally going to replace the entire system with one based on retail sales (consumption)? John Linder has been pushing HR25 for about 10 years in the US House of Representatives, but it seems to get stock in the Ways and Means Committee, due to petty partician politics. Once we get it passed, corporations will return to the US, and the poor will be completely untaxed. We’ll all wonder why it took us so long to make it happen. See FairTax.org, or Google or YouTube “FairTax”.
Kudos to Rick for providing a focus for the bubbling rage over the abuses of the American people by Congress. They forget that it is not their money, but ours, that they are throwing away. The only way to save our nation from the fate of Europe is to return to the founding principles. One of the most effective ways to reduce the power of Congress, as well as to create an economic climate that would invite investment and save jobs is to abolish the IRS and institute the FairTax.
GO RICK GO! It’s about time that folks got outraged about Obama’s plan to overload our nation with debt to secure it’s collapse! NO MORE PORK! No more spending increases! NO Reparations! No more bailouts for greedy corporations and socialist front groups!
Rick, “You have come for such a time as this”. If the good people remain quiet the wicked win by default. Today is the Jewish Feast of Purim for Christians, Queen Esther, represents the Bride of Christ. Queen Esther’s cousin or uncle Mordechi learns of a plot to destroy ALL the Jewish people. He sits at the gate weeping for his people. Queen Esther calls for him and learns of wicked Haman’s plans. Throughout the entire book of Esther there is no evidence of God delivering his people,but he is ever present behind the scenes. Mordechi warns Esther, “Do not think you will be safe if you stay silent.” “The Almighty will raise up another. “Who knows if, “you have come for such a time as this.” With these words Esther calls Mordechi to a 3 day fast. Queen Esther and her handmaidens also fast. The long and short of this TRUE story is the King (for Christians symbolic of Jesus Christ King) grants Queen Esther her desires and wicked Haman is hung on the very gallows HE made!
Moral of TRUE story: America was founded under Judeo/Christian values. If we do not unite to preserve our God given unalienable rights we will fall to socialism and eventually sharia law. Our HOPE is in Almighty God NOT the moon god of Mecca. We the people have sown to the wind and are now reaping the whirlwind. We have offended a Holy Deity
and it’s time to acknowledge it. Americans have been blessed because of our faith in Almighty God but forgot him in our prosperity, Mammon/Money became our God. The Almighty promises us if we will return to Him with all of our hearts he will hear from heaven and heal our land. May the Almighty remember his promises and send the greatest spiritual awakening unto HIM. God forbid that generations after us would say, “Daddy what was it like when America was free?” NOW IS THE TIME TO UNITE! Remember our men and women in uniform who have kept us free. Some made the ultimate sacrifice like my friend’s son, Marc Lee the First Navy Seal killed in Iraq. It is not business as usual my fellow Americans we are fighting for the soul of our nation for our children and grandchildren. If God is with us we shall not be denied. Be strong and courageous America’s best days are before her! We will not fail our forefathers. United We Stand! Godspeed!

Let the ad hominems begin. It’s okay, Rick can take it, and we’re standing by him!
So far, all I hear from Rick’s critics is “shut up.” Have any actual points to make, guys?
