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!!
Never ever, no way Romney!
no sense of humor
No wb...I don’t have problems. It is you if you overlook the clues to someone’s nature.
The bible states it clearly and that’s good enough for me: Out of the mouth, proceedth the thoughts of the heart.
Time to OCCUPY the G.O.P!
If Romney gets the nomination, then there is going to be a revolt in the GOP.
The Tea Pary will drain the GOP of conservatives.
I’m NOT going to vote for the lessor of two evils.
OBVIOUSLY the GOP elites did not get the message in 2008.
2010 was not a vote for the Republicans but a vote against the Democrats and Obama.
Conservative or nothing. Romney will only slow the bleeding, but still keeping us on the wrong path.
How can you vote for a Liberal like Romney is beyond me.
I’ll let others decide from your own words. But thanks for letting us know you think a black man drinking from a “white” water fountain portends evil intentions.
“...I’m NOT going to vote for the lessor of two evils....”
Wow, how has that worked out for ya?
Speaking for myself, My conscience is clear and I can sleep well at night knowing I didn’t abandon my principles.
That works great for me. If enough Conservatives did the same we wouldn’t have to worry about Romney now would we?
Entertaining is putting it rather mildly
I will not vote for Romney, period.
If he is the nominee, forget the presidential vote.
Vote to get real conservatives a majority in CONGRESS.
A lame duck Obama is better than Romney (and exponentially better than a lame duck Romney which is a distinct possibility).
AMEN
Yes even if we all hold to our principles we would still have to worry about an endless string of Romneys. The GOP is not conservative.
Until we have a conservative party, wash, rinse and repeat.
Agreed. And Romney is Obama Lite.
Rush Limbaugh says if Romney ends up with the nomination he will support him. I won't. I would go with a 3rd party or write in. Better to lose the WH for one cycle. If that's what it takes to get the Party's attention then so be it.
Rebellion is brewing!
And your problem with this anecdote is what, exactly?
Very true. And we have to overcome this ‘fear’ we have of a 3rd party. The GOP is dead. So we can pull ourselves up and make one (TEA Party into a REAL party) or ride the spin cycle forever and lie to ourselves some more.
The only thing between a viable 3rd party (2nd really) and reality is our own FEAR. So when the GOP sticks it up our collective whazoo, what should we do? Let them? Nope.
Keep your blinders on wb; when you finally take them off you will see the desolation left behind by someone who, like his predecessor, has no clue. Someone who governs acording to color instead of according to the constitution.
Ummm what do you mean? What exactly is unclear to you? Are you someone who wishes to turn the meaning into something that wasn’t intended? I have a problem with anyone governing acording to color instead of the constitution. You don’t?
Bears repeatin'.
