More Questions I'd have

For tea partiers

1) When did TARP pass?
2) Who passed it?
3) When did immigration become an issue for you?
4) How is it suddenly "not being enforced" now under Obama when deportations are UP?
5) If you're so concerned about deficits, why defend medicare and social security benefits and frivolous military engagements or national security state spending?
6) Who, in this line of questioning, is likely to engage in serious cuts to federal programs?
7) Who has a demonstrated history of doing so? And who does not?

To #4- why of course its the same way Obama is soft on terror and the wars, since more terrorists and insurgents have died since he got in office, not to mention more civilians, and he's increased the defense budget and sent more troops to (formerly) Iraq and Afghanistan!

Just like that. ^.^

Tea partiers don't seem any distinctly agitated about our foreign entanglements than the rest of the country from what I can tell, so the question isn't as specifically relevant to them as the fiscal and financial issues and a few "conservative" issues like immigration.

Lots of people seem perfectly willing to pretend we're leaving Iraq for example. I suppose there are some conservative windbags who think troops leaving Iraq is now suddenly a bad idea, but I'm not sure this is a strain of thought common to these particular rabble-rousers.

But yes, that is the same question and the same response that should be asked of that issue as well.
