Modern GOP: Government Subsidies For People That Vote Republican is Patriotic, For Anyone Else It's Socialism

Just a little stroll through the current Tea Bagger faction of the GOP. These are very fiscally conservative people who are steadfast in their belief that government should reduce its role in people's lives. There's just a few kinks with their whole platform, however.
  • Tea Bagger extraordinaire, Stephen Fincher, is a Republican tea bagger congressional candidate from TN. He thinks the government providing subsidies to people to buy medical insurance is socialist. But Fincher receives $200K/year in farm subsidies to not work. He loves government money, just not when other people get it.
  • Mike Vanderboegh of Alabama, is a Tea Bagger blogger who incites violence on his blog against Democratic lawmakers for passing health care reform. He thinks HCR should be repealed and government should get out of people's way. Vanderboegh lives off $1,300/month disability checks from the U.S. government. He loves government money, just not when other people get it.
  • Diana Reimer 67 from Pennsylvania is a leader of the movement who works for Republican PACS to organize Tea Bagger protests. She proudly states she's on a mission to stop HCR and that time is not on her side. She is so against government funds going to help people with health care that she is a recipient of socialist Medicare. She loves government money paying for health care, but only for her.
It seems government-run medical insurance and government-run financial services along with outright welfare has given them the wherewithal to go out in public and finally make that grand stand against Big Government.
