The only thing he got wrong is that BOTH parties fear the Tea Party ... and well they should.

What bothers me is that this has to be explained to ANYONE who is an American citizen. Yes, I know.....

No democrat has to any reason to fear the T Parties.

Just sign and support the magnificent Contract From America!

Nobody fears the tea party. The MSM will dispose of it by using the tool of humiliation. They did that with Sarah Palin and it is very effective. The tea party is easy to make fun of. Old, white, angry and worried is how they’re portrayed and obsessed about their money as they use their medicare dollars to buy their cholesterol meds. They need something more. They need to have another focus besides Obamacare.

Check out the comment after the article from “Pete of AR”!

Wow! I had no idea that there were actually people like him who are foaming at the mouth, calling us names, and chewing off the furniture’s legs!

Heh heh heh...

They tried that already. Didnt work.

First CNN, the WaPo, then Geitner, now US Snooze...warming up to the Tea Party movement (at least not spewing hateful lies at the previous rate)? What gives? I like it better when the left is shrieking hysterically.

I will raise a minimum of $2 million dollars should Governor Sarah Palin decide to run for the presidency. I’m sure I’m not the only one here (and elsewhere) that’ll work like a dog to make sure she’s in the White House and the Chicago Kid is back wherever he belongs.

The assclowns driving the ship right now swore an oath to uphold and protect the only contract that's ever been needed to keep us headed in the right direction .. The Constitution of the United States of America.

Having folks sign on to another litmus checklist isn't going to fix the problem.

The MSM disposed of Sarah Palin by humiliation?

HHMMMM...... Something I didn’t know until just now....Yikes!

Wonder who they are gonna pick for our 2012 Presidential Candidate now that Sarah is gone? Have you got a clue?

Agreed, Tigerized. If ever there were a valid argument to keep internet access away from methadone clinics, this would be it.

"I don’t ally myself with the “tea baggers” simply because I think they’re too lax, and because they’re careless. Marching the woods in Washington armed to the teeth is not an effective way to protest. If anything, it’s an excellent way to get yourself on every federal watchlist in the country, and then some."

What you describe is not the Tea Party movement. What you are saying is only indicative of the power of the lies of the MSM. Do a little research of your own on the internet, maybe go to a local meeting (leave your weapon at home but bring pictures of your grandkids).

Worked very well. From Tina Fey, to seeing Alaska from her home, to Katie Couric intimidating her. I think her career as a serious presidential contender is over. Michele Bachman on the other hand...

We The People are the Tea Party Movement and we vow to take back our country in order to preserve our freedom and to guarantee our children and grandchildren’s future.

If we fail, we will have doomed our children and grandchildren to being slaves to the government; they will no longer be free.

I hate to tell you this, but the fact that you have an account on FR already has you on a list. I'm an NRA life member, an Oath Keeper, a retired military member, and a longtime FR member. I'm at the top of the list.

From now on every single time I see someone parrot the "tea bagger" insult I'll respond with this...

The US President Bukkake Osama.

Worked very well.

Did it work well to 'dispose of the Teaparty'? It only drew more attention to it and the movement gained momentum.

You say you're in West Texas. You should know better than that.

Have you ever attended a Tea Party? There have been plenty of them in your neighborhood. Yet, you seem to know absolutely nothing about them or the people who attend them.

Consequently, I'm understandably suspicious about the rest of your claims to conservatism.

Democrat party thug-politicians will never in a million years sign or support the Contract From America.
