"We have to elect the people to do that!!!

Fine but support candidates outside the scope of the Tea party.

The People ARE the Tea Party.. We aren't electing Tea Party members - The Tea Party is meeting the candidates, vetting them to be sure that they are Conservatives & then supporting them.

What suggestions do you have on how to pick the candidates that is better?

Correcto Mundo,
so I repeat:
“So what’s the difference between Juan and Glassman?”

"Why would McCain be in that informercial? Cindy has enough money to last 100 lifetimes."

It's as stupid as why he is running for re-election at his age.. They'll have to wheel chair him out if he lasts through this term - if he wins. He could retire & enjoy that money - but he chooses not to. Maybe he just lives to torture us Conservatives!!!

I have no idea why he does any of the stupid things that he does. It was supposedly on his web site & then removed. Maybe the person who mentioned it will hop on this thread & give us a clue.

“It was not formed to endorse candidates.’

What makes you an authority on what the tea party was or was not formed for? It seems to me that this exactly what the tea party should be doing in the primaries.

"What makes you an authority on what the tea party was or was not formed for? It seems to me that this exactly what the tea party should be doing in the primaries."

Otherwise what would be the purpose of having the Tea Parties at all? Are they just supposed to meet & get together like tailgaters to have a little fun?

[Spaulding]

You can stick a fork in JD. The informercial was the final straw. Since you are are a recent member, I'll point out that without the help of Democrats, Pat Leahy and Clair McCaskill to start with, McCain would not have cover for his unresolved eligibility issues. Because everyone knew about McCain's issues (every Senator signed Senate Res 511 in April of 2008 to pretend McCain was eligible), Republicans were prevented from raising the public fact of Obama having a non-citizen father, which makes him ineligible too.

McCain enabled another ineligible candidate because he felt intitled. Obama's supporters used a complicit McCain. Clair McCaskill's first effort to make "Children of Military born overseas natural born citizens, eligible for the presidency", Senate Bill 2678 failed to pass in February 2008, so they passed a meaningless resolution in April, knowing that the public wouldn't know that a resolution carries no legal force. McCain, whose eligibility had been the subject of almost ten years of law suits and congressional hearings, always knew Obama was ineligible, but enabled Obama to take office rather than protecting the Constitution, as he swore to do as Senator and a Naval Officer.

So what's the difference between Juan and Glassman?

Glassman presents a clear political target.

[ThermoNuclearWarrior]

It's laughable how McCain is now taking a tough stance on illegal immigration when he's been one of the worst RINO’s for years on that issue.

Am I the only one who thinks McCain would have opposed the Arizona immigration law if he had won in 2008?

[ThermoNuclearWarrior]

It wouldn't surprise me if McCain loses and then does something like Crist and Spector instead of doing the right thing and endorsing Hayworth.

[Sto Zvirat]

JD isn’t gonna win because he is not likable. I am not voting for him, I just plain do not like him and never will. My choice.

[ThermoNuclearWarrior]

I have no problem with them endorsing candidates when the differences between them are so enormous like in this case. I could understand it causing problems if you have two good Conservative guys who agree on most things. Then I could see members getting angry, but who in the Tea Party would support a liberal like McCain?

[Chunga]

The Tea Party movement was formed to return the country to the Constitution, support the limited government principles instilled in the Constitution by the founding fathers and confront those issues that threaten the Constitution. It was not formed to endorse candidates. Doing so only creates divisiveness within the Tea Party and enables the Tea Party movement to be incrementally folded into the OP(formerly the GOP)

In Arizona, if you want to help return the country to the Constitution, you have to vote for J.D. in the Republican primary.

[Chunga]

JD isn’t gonna win because he is not likable. I am not voting for him, I just plain do not like him and never will. My choice.

Why aren't you going to vote for him? Because he isn't likable?

[Sto Zvirat]

I’ve met JD, my company has done business with him, and I just don’t care for him. I would rather Shadegg were running, but he doesn’t want it. Its personal preference and that is how I am going to vote.

[Chunga]

Sure, it’s a free country...but politics is issues. Is McCain more in line with your politics than J.D. is?

[Sto Zvirat]

I vote for who I want. Its a beautiful thing, democracy. I respect your opinion, but its my choice.

Have a good night.

"I vote for who I want. Its a beautiful thing, democracy. I respect your opinion, but its my choice.

Is that you John??

[Chunga]

We discuss politics here...so why post here if you don't want to talk about the issues that concern you and which candidates you think best reflect your views?

Of course you vote for who you want, but all anyone knows, apparently, is that you have a personal problem with J.D.

Will you tell me specifically what he's done, or hasn't done, or why he's unlikable, or anything? Will you state who you're voting for instead?

BTW! Democracy blows!

[presently no screen name]

How can they do what you listed without a representative for those ideas in DC?

I think it’s a perfect followup - here’s what we stand for and here’s the man/woman who is best qualified to carry it out.

Those not paying attention AT ALL might think McCain was doing a good job since he’s been there forever. If we learned anything at all, it’s MOST are not keeping up like us here on FR.

[presently no screen name]

If you haven’t done business with McCain - and that’s what you use as a litmus test - how can you compare them?

Didn’t know this was a popularity test but a vote for what is best for our country.
