The TEA (Taxed Enough Already) party sprang up in spontaneous rebellion to big government's big spending, big taxing ways. TARP, the bailouts, the PORKULUS package and ObamaCare lit the fuse. TEA partiers support the constitution's limited government restrictions. TEA partiers are non-partisan, i.e., we oppose the big government, big spending, big taxing moves of both the major political parties.
This is an open rebellion against business as usual big spending, overreaching government! We demand a return to constitutionally limited government!!
The socialist/progressive Democrat party is our natural enemy and they understand that and attack us accordingly.
The big government RINO socialist/progressive wing of the Republican party is also our natural enemy and they attack us accordingly. They fear us, but they NEED us. They despise us, spit on us, call us right-wing extremists and hateful bigots, but beg us for our votes. They EXPECT us to bend over in the end and willingly accept their BIG GOVERNMENT candidates and programs without any real opposition.
Oh, they may try to sugar coat it a bit, and placate us here and there with some smooth talk, and toss us a bone from time-to-time with conservative head feints, but it's clear they have no intention of ever changing their evil progressive ways.
The progressive wing of the GOP does not really comprehend that the TEA party rebellion is aimed squarely at THEM!!
They believe that we have nowhere else to go and that fear of an Obama second term will compel us to vote for a Republican version of BIG GOVERNMENT, big spending, big taxing, constitution ignoring progressive liar of a candidate.
Got news for them.
The TEA party rebellion is made up of tens of millions of liberty-loving, patriotic citizens who are totally fed up with corrupt, lying, two-faced, smooth-talking, big government socialists, corrupt crony capitalist bastard, progressives, Marxists, etc, and it makes no difference to us which party they belong to. And we're madder than hell and loaded for bear!!
This is OPEN REBELLION at the ballot box!!
TEA party hating elite establishment, Romney, Rove & Co., had best get used to it. Your any RINO but Obama gig is up!!
The TEA party is here to stay and we're NOT going to vote for your big government, TARP pushing, PORKULUS pushing, RomneyCare pushing, gun-grabbing, abortionist, gay-rights pushing, global warming advocating, mandate-loving, anti-Reagan, anti-liberty, socialist/progressive, flavor of the day RINO, the chief architect and advocate of ObamaCare, Mitt Romney!!
FUMR!! FUGOP!!
TEA partiers unite against Obama/Romney!!
The progressive GOP be damned!!
Long live the Republic!!
I think you are taking his comment a little too lightly. It’s quite significant, IMO.
One reason why the media and the GOP are pushing Romney is because they know their social liberal views, their homosexual pals, their cross dressing elitist DC, north east pals will still progress their social homosexual agenda.
Fox especially are pushing Romney because they see their Manhattan elitist,cross dressing, cocktail liberal, homosexual friends wanting Romney if zero looses.
The new law of don’t ask, cross dressing laws, attack on DOMA etc will stay safe under Romney as the establishment has turned much more liberal on social issues or they are just plain out and out cowards.
Get a man or a woman who will overturn the new law, talk about social issues, bring back the normal family and tell the public that you work for what you want, not live in stench and filth for a month moaning you have no job when they don’t even look for one.
It is amazing how Cain's supporters just gloss over that - to me, it's like adding 2 + 2 and still getting 2!
How can a TRUE conservative support Mitt Romney by saying he would run as his vice president? It just doesn't add up.
Who did Cain endorse for President in 2008?
I find it revealing that although Herman Cain has backed off of many of his remarks - he has NEVER backed off the remark he made about running as Romney’s vice president.
During a Meet the Press interview, Cain said he likes Henry Kissinger, George Will and Charles Krauthammer as foreign policy experts. During the last debate, he named Alan Greenspan as the best Federal Reserve Chairman.
RINOS all - no wonder he likes Romney so much!
Not hardly. Sarah is in a class all by herself. For starters, she wouldn’t need any candidate to support her - and Cain never stood up for her in 3 years and that puts him in a class with many. She did it SOLO.
Amen Brother! The establishment is nothing without the grass roots and they are going to learn that the hard way.
Should the planets align and the wrong person get nominated, I can see exactly who is going to be learning the hard way, and it won’t be the establishment. Time will tell, and we shall see. I have hope for America.
Great post!
You’re welcoming to a forum in which I’ve actively participated for years.
It’s privately owned, yes. And the owner can make the rules. And he can openly say that he himself is exempt from those rules. But if he does, it’s fair to ask, will we have to address him as “your lardship” in future, or “your highness”. The laird of the manor also made his own rules on his own estates.
If, however, he wants to preside over a community in which conservative ideas are freely exchanged, it would be advisable for him to not place himself above the rules of that community. Not that it will effect me one iota, nor diminish my participation, but it certainly effects my respect for His Lardship in future dealings. Not dictating to him what he ought to do, mind you. This is his manor.
But how he relates to the serfs who merely post here might be a matter of concern to him.
You noticed that too? Reminds me of how so many followed the Pied Piper from Chicago in '08, simply because he "tickled their ears." Yet any attempts to point out the obvious (Cain "hearts" Romney) is met with vitriol. Partly, I think, it's a dislike--bordering on hatred for some--of anyone or anything southern in general, Texan in particular. Irrational.
If someone is paying even a little bit of attention, they can get a hint of a man’s political leaning just by observing not only his company, but who he endorses. Now we have quite a list of RINOs, and honestly, we should ask questions about this. There’s also the issue of him pulling, and playing, the race card over the errant rock on a property Perry’s family used for hunting. I’m just not liking what I’m seeing, and the more I watch, the less I like it.
You are in Jim’s “house”. If you don’t like it, move on. Jim has guided FR for 15 years and done a damn good job. Only a cretin would “move in” and commence to bitch about the “service”. I have NO patience for a poster like you.
Put this speech on Youtube!
In fact, there are times when I wonder if some (many?) of the Cain-bots are actually Rom-bots in disguise. It would certainly suit the Romney campaign's purposes to have the conservative community turn on itself, leaving Romney as the victor.
So what! He doesn’t have the nomination yet!!! In my opinion let’s see how the first couple of primaries go and then lay aside our candidate partisanship and get behind the leading conservative contender. Until then campaign, donate, and educate.
Well said. I think painting oneself into a corner this early in a campaign is unwise, and could even have unpleasant consequences. It is after all a primary. As you say, no one has a lock on the primary, yet.
Jim, you’re always so vague about your opinions...
