It’s amazing the stupidity of Jimmy Hoffa suggesting that the tea party folks are destroying American workers jobs, that they are somehow pawns led around by the Koch brothers and they are to blame for “right to work states” Huh?
The tea party started in February of 2009, all of the 22 Right-to-Work states were instituted prior to that date.
The tea party members did not invoke the free trade agreements that leave us with a lopsided trade deficit.
The tea party people did not start congressional over-spending
The tea party is not responsible for Café standards on automobiles
The tea party did not place restrictions on energy companies driving costs up nationally
The tea party did not threaten voters at the polls or partner with an organization that illegally registered Mickey Mouse and the entire Dallas football team to vote.
The Tea Party does however endorse reduced government spending, opposition to taxation in varying degrees, reduction of the national debt and federal budget deficit and adherence to an originalist interpretation of the United State Constitution
Maybe Jimmy Hoffa should take a look at these statistics before spouting off.
Percentage Growth in Real Personal Income (1999-2009)
Right to Work States 28.3%
Forced-Unionism States 14.7%
National Average 19.5%
Cost of Living-Adjusted Per Capita Disposable Personal Income
Right to Work States $35,543
Forced-Unionism State $33,389
National Average $34,256
Here’s another little tidbit of info for Jimmy; leading the pack in Big Labor’s violence category is the Teamsters. Since 1991, they have had 454 incidents of violence and they have twice as much as the group in 2nd place.
The comments this past weekend by these “democratic operatives” shows the level of urgency that this party is experiencing. The Democrat’s cannot run on their record so they need to attack anybody and anything to distract from that record.
When a conservative group of ordinary America’s concerned on which way their country is heading are called “terrorists, racists and jihadists” then they should know that they are the right track, especially when the name-calling comes from the extreme left wing, such as Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the number one race baiter in this country, Al Sharpton.

Conservative v/s Liberal
From the internet -- author unknown
If a conservative doesn't like guns, he does't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn`t eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A liberal will delete it because he's "offended".

28th Amendment
Here are a few points as to why 76% of the American people do not trust their government
* They voted to NOT give you a Social Security Cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
* You will not get the 3% COLA: $660/year.
* Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years.
* Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.
* U.S. House & Senate have accepted a salary increase of $4,700 and $5,300 respectively.
* Over these same 2-years each Congress person will get $10,000.
* Congress passed health care while more than 60% of the people were against it.
* Congress exempted themselves from this plan.
This past year has shown us that there are no “moderate democrats” in DC. They all voted to increase spending at every opportunity.
This year, you will have a chance to get rid of these pork patrons; that’s one-third of the Senate and 100% of the House.
Make sure you stay engaged and in November we will replace them and this will also remind the replacements of what can happen to them.
Additionally, we need to ensure that any law written spells out the language in the constitution that gives specific power for government to pass that law, if it does not -- it goes down in flames.
I think it’s time we added a 28th amendment to our Constitution. "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States"

Socialist Health Care Plan
To quote President John Adams, "I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is a disgrace, two are a law firm, and three or more become a Congress." With the approval rating of the current congress hanging somewhere in the single digits, one has to ask: Can't we do better than this for $174,000 a year and the best benefits package in America?
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was asked by a reporter to cite the provisions in the Constitution granting Congress the authority to pass a health care bill, she answered with an incredulous, "Are you serious?"
Senator Max Baucus (D-MT), one of the authors of this monstrosity, said that the legislation would address the "maldistribution of income in America." (It seeks to redistribute our money)
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI), who made the following statement recently concerning the health care bill: "I love these members of Congress; they get up and say, 'Read the bill!' What good is reading the bill if it's a thousand pages long and you don't have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?"
This man is a lifelong lawyer and a 22-term Democrat. Do you think he cares about what is constitutional and what is not?
Mocking the concerns of congressional Republicans, President Obama stated at his White House dog and pony health care summit to John McCain; "The campaign is over, John." You could have fooled me, Obama has done nothing but since he took office.
Now we have Rep. Phil Hare (D-IL) who states on camera when asked about the constitutionality of the bill; “I don't worry about the Constitution on this...What I care more about, I care more about people dying every day who don't have health care."
When he was further questioned he gaffed again; "I believe it says we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." A bystander pointed out that those words are not in the Constitution but rather in the Declaration of Independence, Hare replied, "Doesn't matter to me. Either one”
So now that the socialists’ democrats have passed their health care bill against the will of the people and against the constitution, how will you vote in August and November?
