If the tea party talks about money, money, money to the exclusion of all else they don’t have a chance to sway the public. They are to easy to poke fun at by the MSM. Particularly when it’s a lot of retirement age people collecting social security and medicare while at the same time maligning “Obamacare”. They also won’t have my support unless they speak out against immigration policy, affirmative action, outlandish military spending on useless wars and occupations of countries. They seem to only espouse “limited government”, and “freedom”. Nice words but they ain’t going nowhere with that. Trust me.
Personally, I am grateful and I think it is a good strategy for the TEA Party to limit its focus and to do what its does in an effective manner.
We have Pro-life, anti-illegal immigration, Libertarian and isolationist, “oath-keeper”, Second Amendment, and anti-affirmative action groups now. And...I am willing to bet my 401 K that many of the members of these groups showed up to support the TEA Partiers precisely because they shared the values of the TEA Partiers.
By the way, I am especially interested in education, and Obama’s eligibility. Even though abolishing K-12 education and demanding that Obama prove his natural born status is barely on the radar of the TEA Partiers, the NRA, the Pro-LIfe,... etc., I still completely support the values that TEA Partiers and many other organizations are upholding.
“If the tea party talks about money, money, money to

Are you serious?
Just what is the Obama administration and the Demo
controlled congress talking about? Are they remind-
ing us how wonderful the nation will be when we
have achieved a socialist utopia? No. They’re
talking about money. They don’t talk about redis-
tribution of wealth, they just attempt to enact
laws that lead us in that direction.
And, just how is immigration policy, affirmative ac-
tion policy, and “outlandish military spending
on useless wars and occupations of countries” NOT
related to money, money, money?
The reality is that there are some issues that
are of current concern that cut across party
and basic philosophic beliefs. The Tea Party
folks have tapped in to those. Sorry if they
are not quite “Ron Paul” enough for you. But
they sure have the Dems squealing.
“Trust me.”
No thanks, I’m good.
You'll always have Pat Buchanan's Reform Party.
