This is Dick Armey of Freedomworks. Retired Congressman Dick Armey is the top national organizer for the 9/12 Marches coming this month in Washington, DC. FOX News host Glenn Beck set the 9/12 movement in motion. Please let us know how you feel about Dick Armey's positions on illegal immigration.
“Okay, let me try again (and keep in mind Mr. Armey is not running for election):
Do you agree that with Mr. Armey that there needs to be a March on Washington? Or do you disagree?”
Mr. Armey seems to have hijacked this idea...which came about before he climbed on the bandwagon. I get an email from his ‘group’ every few days, and I don’t want to be identified with him. As for the March on Washington. No, I think there are better ways, but I will support it, but I won’t support Dick Armey. The movement would be better off distancing themselves from him. He lends it no credibility.
And if it hasn’t happened already, someone will bring up his ‘Barney Fag’ comment on the floor of the house to discredit the entire idea...remember that?
I got one of Dick Armey’s mass emails today about the march in DC which his group helped to promote. He says, “WE DID IT”.
My reply:
WE???? MR.ARMEY!
95% of those people oppose your soft stand on illegal immigration and AMNESTY!
You should be ashamed of hijacking this movement, you were one of millions promoting this rally.
You’re fooling them, just like Obama fooled his voters....they don’t know you that well.
And you should have listened to Milton Friedman, when he looked you in the eye and told you that NAFTA was NOT Free Trade, it is ‘managed trade’. QUOTE!.... “managed’’ just like Obama wants the government to ‘manage’ everything!
Armey thinks this was all Freedomworks doing. Beck thinks it was all his. Now Rush and Levin are worried about 3rd parties. kinda funny, actually.
*major bump*
Just another reason why Dick Armey is no leader or spokesman for the TP
