You are correct, we now know who the quislings and grifters are and they must go...

I got mine yesterday. We’re preparing a ‘joyous’ response.

Look for blowback to occur.

I thought John Boehner did pretty good in this shutdown battle. Just saying.

If John Boenher had been frying chicken, we'd find out at the dinner table that it was raw inside.

I'd say he didn't do well at all.

Plenty of us were telling him how high to set the heat - even handed him an apron - supported this low-life scum-sucking POS in his efforts, but he still FAILED.

Just who heads the tea party and are they one group or several groups each doing their own thing? How can we unify America under one banner?

That will come in the future. The infrastructure is being built. Another dozen TP Senators, and an additional 50 TP Congressmen will aid in that process.

I like the fact TP groups are centered at the local level. I believe that, in most cases, these candidates will not "go native" when they get to Washington DC, they won't be corrupted by the mores of DC.

Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Rand Paul are representative of that view.

Fill it up with worthless tokens and return it. I am doing that.

Nah, a letter.

Dear _____

I'm sending you a donation consisting of what I have left after paying my living expenses and my 57% federal, state and local tax rates. I've also deducted all taxes and fees assessed because of Obamacare. Please accept this small donation as a representation for how well I feel you're looking after the interests of this nation's people.

-------

....and send them NOTHING.

He did well by the Boehner standard, which is setting the bar awfully low.

I’m a Birther for Cruz also. Note that Cruz never spent millions to hide and deny his real birthplace...or provided phony birth certificates. And...Obama already set legal precedent by being a foreign born President....so Cruz has legal cover

If Obama Supporters want to make Cruz eligibility an issue....then it will be a lot easier to get Obama Birth Cert in discovery process...

“We have a Three Party System in this Country.

Interesting. Years ago, Whittaker Chambers noted that there were three classes in America. The lower class were democrats, the middle class were republicans and the upper class were communists.

The same still applies. The powers that be of both parties, the establishment, whatever you want to call them, are aristocrats, oligarchs of the very worst sort.

GOP voters are energized. They are less likely than ever to vote for the incombents. Some of the RINO Senate Obama Republicans are going to be sent to K Street to lobby.

It better be reborn—or it will vanish away. Time for a new wave of demonstrations—and Ban those Rebel Flags this time!

I’ve talked to several TEA party neighbors and they are all ticked off. The new one across the street was the most pizzed off. She was working in her garage yesterday listening to Rush when I went to get the mail. She told me “I feel like the whole country just got raped by the Republicans”.

We’ll all be getting pre-paid envelopes from the RNC soon,

I don't know if I'll be getting one this year. Last year I sent them a note back to take me off their mailing list. I told them I was only donating to individual conservative candidates.

Once on the list, you can never escape their junk.

Tea Party groups are all over the place. Every area operates basically on their own .. BUT .. they all have the same basic set of values; small govt, lower taxes, less regulation. This is what makes them ONE group - and they function from the grassroots (not some political group). After that, I think a lot of them focus on issues in their area .. such as COAL.

If you don’t live in a COAL producing state .. then why focus on it, unless the majority of your citizens use coal to heat their homes in the winter.

In my area, we are surrounded by some of the most awesome military groups. Therefore, we can focus a lot on military issues and the treatment of our military heros. But, I found out recently, that all the Tea Party groups in the SoCal area never got approved by the IRS for funding purposes. Seems our current admin has an adverse opinion on our military.
