I conclude that you are intellectually incapable of answering the question, as always.

Tea Parties, Birthers and "Death Panel misrepresentations come to mind.



I think the Tea Parties were badly misrepresented, how many arrests were ever needed at Tea Party events? What is the complaint against meetings where the protesters even clean up their own litter?

Birthers would be better off playing Farmville.

How were Death Panels misrepresented? Arn't there already  death panels distributing American Kidneys? How can Obamacare be run sans death panels?

Were examples of political opportunism from the GOP and or their ideological soulmates.

Which was in response to this question.

I don't think that the GOP "made use" of the Tea party, I don't think they were prepared. If the regular GOP had fallen in behind the Tea party they would have lost all moderates (which might have been alright really) if the GOP had of tried to lead the Tea party they wouold have been rejected.

Has anyone in any Tea Party tried to reject Dick Armey?

Much of the Tea Party was financed by the Koch brothers, superrich Kansas oilmen oligarchs, for their own purposes.

Which was then subsequently debunked both here & here, as well as here

Now, if a claim wants to be made that the GOP can and has been opportunistic at times, that's never been denied.  The issue here is in taking tragedy, taking disaster, taking issues that have prescious little to do with politics, and trying to use that tragedy to push a political agenda.  In that vain, there are still no examples by the GOP, that even remotely touch what the Democrat party consistently & sadly routinely does following such

And Soros is some poor little fella, living in a studio apt

And FYI, much of the Tea party is financed by much of the nation...millions of folks like me

You haven't debunked anything.

Plane hasn't clarified his questions.

And until he does all you are doing is flapping your gums and moving the goal posts.

I was satisfied with your answers , succinct tho they were, who an I to complain about brevity?

I agree that individuals are supposed to be the focus of decisions.

There can be institutionalised problems or dynamic effects of institutions that no individual controlls, but it is still individuals who decide to join , participate ,or leave the team even so.

Sure I have, as it relates to your claims in response to my original question.  If anyone has moved anything its your attempt to take my clear inquiry, directly referencing tragedy, like what happened in AZ, and answer it with a massive blanket, implying opportuntism, in any form was being asked for
