From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
—Van Jones, cofounder of RebuildTheDream.com and author of The Green Collar Economy
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
—David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning and When Corporations Rule the World
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
—Peter Coyote, Actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall

I believe the name for the Tea Party should really be the Pee Party as that is what they seem to be doing to us all.
SINCE the TEAbaggers are astro turf and foot soldiers for the Billionaires..............who created them so the GOP would regain the HOUSE and make sure that BUSH TAX cut would be extended................it proves that they are just moved by HATRED and as someone said
HATRED is the NOST POTENT FORCE in AMERICAN POLITICS.............something CRUZ knows well because he has been using Hatred of OBAMA and ACA to make these CRAZIES Rally and VOTE for the worst political party ever.
NOW COMPARE the OCCUPY movement ......those who had NO BILLIONAIRE Backing but were TRULY GRASSROOTS.
COMPARE how the MEDIA treated OWS and these stupid Teabaggers and you will see that MEDIA never ALLOWS LEFT WING to WIN...............
Tealiban.
New Word. TEALIBAN. N. Member of a US based terrorist organization. Originally started by the KOCH Brothers as a offshoot of the Republican Party, but since has gone out of control. Tealiban members have taken a secret vow to destroy America by dismantling its economic and social systems and structures.
Not certain how to vote on this one. It looks like the Koch Bros. have created their own Frankenstein party, that's even out of their control. At the same time the less extreme members of the GOP are leaving the party in droves to the point that even redrawing voting districts may not help them. Could be a landslide for Democrats in the next couple of elections, due to switching parties and/or lack of GOP turnout. Let's hope they make the most of it and make some wise reforms.
People can vote them out, but that doesent mean they will go away,which is why peopl eneed to pay more attention, and vote in every election, even if it is fo rdog catcher, because that is when they get a lot of their agenda through, because they know progressive, and democrats wont turn out to vote.
No because the 50 tea baggers are in districts with people who think like the tealiban does! As Ron White says you can't fix stupid!
