Teabaggers bitch about public transit in DC

[Wolfman]

Teabaggers ?
Even thought it really was not one--I think they call them Tea Parties after the Boston Tea Party.
Look it up.

[Sirfindafold]

yet complain about the adequacy of public transit

You mean efficiently run entities like AMTRAK?

[Bizzarofelice]

The irony is lost on RJack.

Should I have been surprised by this fact?

DC Metro funded by Federal income tax

Hence my point, you fucking scum-sucking shitbag. These are the same jerk-off politicians that vote against any funding bill for Metro, but then they have the fucking gall to bitch and moan when the service doesn't produce to "what they believe it should."

Fuck them and fuck you.

They vote against it. The bills get passed, the tax money allotted, so they paid under protest and they feel the received substandard service. What's your problem with that ?

Frankly, I don't think Metro was prepared, I don't blame Metro at all. I think the number of people attending was underestimated - no real precedent for it. Conservative activism such as this is relatively new.

[Tom In VA]

I think the system does fine when they're prepared. Take for instance the Innauguration. I don't think Metro was prepared for this.

[smackaholic]

Tom, maybe if these pieces of shit would stop forcing Metro to run on a shoestring budget, maybe the system would be able to adequately equip for events like this and prevent accidents like the June Red Line accident from happening. But no, they'd rather have a political dick measuring contest and put lives at stake and waste riders' time.

Teabaggers from flyover country control the DC metro purse strings?

They got more power than I thought.

My guess is that when protesters for the lib cause are in town, they run every train they got. Conservatives can go fukk themselves.

[Tom In VA]

Not exactly smackoholic.

The lib protestors are more organized. This "community organization" thing is new to conservative activists that are normally focused on mind their own business. The professionalism of protesting award really does need to go to the libs. They do a better job, of course, that's all they do.

Many of the folks - I know several - actually took time and vacation time to come down and express their disdain for the administration's plans. Came as far as Maine and never attended a "rally" in their life.

The simple fact of the matter is, Metro wasn't prepared. I don't think that was entirely their fault either. It was simply a matter of protest by unprofessional protestors.

Look it up.

Teabaggers as in they are taint sucking retards.

[Jerkovich]

The only 'teabagger' here is the bitch who started this thread.

[Terry in Crapchester]

You realize more than 40% of Metro's rush-hour capacity is federal workers getting to federal jobs right?

Who gives a fuck? It isn't the responsibility of people in Texas to provide the people in DC with local public transportation. You want it? YOU pay for it and keep your dickbeaters off of my wallet.

So you're saying you're in favor of statehood for DC? Noted.

[Bizzarofelice]

There is no irony

There's irony dripping from every orifice of RJack yet he can't rightly recall why.

[Jerkovich]

Eat shit, you fucking jerkoffs. Millions of people, my fucking ass.

For the record,tea bags were still 130 years in the future.

But don't expect historical knowledge or Common Sense from the board Koskids.
