Dick Armey Stuns His Tea Partiers With Open-Borders Advocacy (see his immigration record here)
NumbersUsa ^ | Mar. 15, 2010 | Roy Beck

For weeks, various grassroots leaders of tea parties have been asking NumbersUSA if there is anything to the rumors that former Congressman Dick Armey is soft on amnesty and the costs of illegal immigration. If he were, that would be an unsettling situation for the vast majority of people at tea party events who oppose both vehemently.

Well, today, Dick Armey settled the question. No need for rumors now.

Mr. Armey -- labeled as the "uber-organizer of the tea party movement" by a reporter today -- seems to have labeled as "goofy" most of the grassroots citizens attending tea party events.

I warned folks, and mainly got abuse for it.

I've been saying that WE THE PEOPLE do NOT have a 'leader' per se. Anyone can "say" he is a leader of the Tea Party but that doesn't make him either a tea pot or a tea cup.

Dick Armey does NOT represent all Tea Party members. Neither does Sarah Palin for that matter. When the time is right, We The People will be our own leader and we'll support who we'll support.

Dick Armey is a , putting it kindly.

Armey did not start the Tea Party movement and is not one of our “leaders.”

It galls me to see any politician try to ride the Tea Party coat tails. It just proves how shallow they really are and they think we will not notice them trying to usurp us.

Every current politician should be booed away from every Tea Party event as they are basically all opportunists and have no real concern for our Constitution.

Armey - labeled as the "uber-organizer of the tea party movement"

That's why I've been asking who these people are. I wasn't convinced that the tea party leaders were 100% conservative. And I'm right! Yeterday I read that they want to dump conservative values (in favor of economic issues only). This is just one more proof.

Yep. I've been telling people for a couple of years to stop looking for leaders and be a leader.

No single individual can save this republic. Only God can, through the principled actions of decent Americans who are willing to return to America's founding principles.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

““Mr. Armey — labeled as the “uber-organizer of the tea party movement” by a reporter today...”

By what reporter? Manufacture all the news you want, dimwit, this guy us no leader of mine...and I’ve been to some parties...”

Armey is the one who started this. He’s an opportunist and I’m glad the tea parties finally started realizing it!

“Yep, now the MSM has someone to attack and use to divide the tea party movement.”

If you understand Dick Armey, you realize that may be what he had in mind to begin with...and raising $$$ for himself.

Oh, an I'll bet Mrs. Armey hasn't made her own bed or scrubbed her family's toilet in DECADES.

DICK THE LOBBYIST FOR CORPORATIONS THAT WANT TO DO AMERICANS OUT OF JOBS AT HONEST, LEGAL WAGES--

MOW YOUR OWN D@MN LAWN, AND TELL YOUR LAZY WIFE TO CLEAN UP AFTER HER OWN FAMILY. I'm sick of these glamour GOP princesses--Like the BUSH WOMEN--who won't turn their hands to a little housework.
