TEA PARTY TIME IN AMERICA
Posted on 09/19/2010 8:23:52 AM PDT by wgflyer
NO, the GOP did NOT start as a “third party” it took over what was left of the Whig party. It replaced a failed 2nd party. If you cannot get enough Conservative/Libertarians organized to take back the GOP from the RINO, you are NEVER going to do the much harder work of organizing a viable third party.
Hooboy! Good ol Mitt was the FIRST to jump on the bandwagon of Tea Party Momentum.
Beware of Mitt the chameleon. Hucka boob too.
I can’t find the picture of the shape shifter wearing his plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up from the last campaign.
These RINOS have to go!
Be “The Party Of Know”
Karl? is that you?
How’s that “astroturf” gonna feel on Nancy’s backside when she’s voted out of the Speakership in January??
Exactly.
Good morning, Sir!
To Hell with that.
The GOP is ours now.
Let the RINOs form their own "moderate" third party, or go join the Democrats where they belong.
I'm looking at you, John McCain and Mitt Romney.
Rugburns! I hope.
Well said
You are right—we need real reform—a reform party—a 3rd choice. None of this old saw of Wasted votes or giving votes to the other guy—If we thought that way we would still have Federalists and Whigs around. The Republicans were a 3rd Party once and hated too. The way I see it there is only two outcomes for the Tea Party movement.
1. Take over the GOP and expel the RINOs—make it a reform party dedicated to really clean the swamp of corruption.
2. Start a real 3rd party by taking over an existing one or doing a new 3rd Party.
Let the Hucklefaces and Mitts do what they will. We need reform. I suggest Palin’s Pitchforks to clean the stables of corruption. I fear if the Tea Parties fail because then
the only choice will be rebellion and a drastic change into something very different from the America I grew up in.
Lots of people would die and the USA may break into four or five warring states. Lets see how Red China Runs the world for a while.
I must say, I made the mistake of backing Perot way back when, and they ended up portraying him as a kook.
They are trying to do the same thing with the tea party.
But this Is different.
The fires are not being put out by the MSM.
They are burning brighter.
Now is the time to move.
This aint going to be pretty.
“Start a real 3rd party by taking over an existing one”
I think that is the most viable option.
And WE ARE DOING IT.
Not only that but we are subverting the DEM Party and picking up bluedogs along the way.
“Let the RINOs form their own “moderate” third party, or go join the Democrats where they belong.”
You’re right. That’s what I hoped to convey.
“The GOP is ours now. “
Not yet. But I hope it isn’t far off.
Could be parties are becoming OBSOLETE......
Both are problems to be dealt with. Comfortable incumbents suboordinate philosophy.
The Tea Party movement is best for raising awareness and challenging incumbency. The less-organized the better.
At this point, the incumbent party (D and R) needs to be culled, period. They work together.
Until people learn to form coalitions (of specific issues) and agree to return to Constitution, separation of powers, and other liberty-centric conventions we will continue to see the assault on freedom.
This is the best plan. But the tea party groups need to remain local grass root entities aloof from Party.
The tradition Democrats will see it our way. But this must be a reform party to really change things—not just give lip service. Kick out the lobbyists and special interests! Toss them in prison as they bridests they are.
