I am Tea Party. I will not be intimidated.

[cripplecreek]

LOL I could never be a liberal. I’m not angry enough for it.

[KC_Lion]

An excellent article. Worthy of everyone’s attention.

Also a Ping to the Uniparty Ping list.

[TADSLOS]

I remember that day when Rick and the traders in the background were all wearing tea bags. A watershed moment.

Yup.

One thing’s for sure, the only thing the GOP is carrying is the democrat agenda.

[GeronL]

I think conservatives/TEA Party should have its own conventions months and months before the two parties do, to endorse conservative candidates for office. I mean before primaries even start.

I like that idea.

[KC_Lion]

That isn't a half bad Idea Geron.

We could preeminent the Big Whigs.

Get a little fire going for our people, then they would listen.

Not that we need their approval anyway.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Ron Paul's 2008 presidential run was chopped liver?

Look, if Santelli's 2009 rant was the Shot Heard 'Round The World, then Paul's run was the actual Tea Party itself. The patriots dressed in Indians throwing tea into the harbor.

There were a lot of people who's eyes were opened during Paul's presidential run, and saw that Washington was thoroughly corrupted. Even Fox News and Hannity were attacking Paul and his supporters.

Same reason the primaries should be in order of states that had the largest +R margins in the previous POTUS election go FIRST. 10 states/month for 5 months.

[FreeAtlanta]

That is a great idea. And then try to get as many delegates that attend the TEA Party convention into both the Republican and Democrat conventions. Of course, getting into the anti-American modern day Democrat convention would be both hard and dangerous.

[who knows what evil?]

I’m backing away from politics until I get back down south...the corruption up here in Red Hampshire is overwhelming...a more wretched hive of villainy...ah, you know the rest.

[Moonman62]

Few people know how the “tea party” got its start, most of all, those who trash the tea party.

[FreeAtlanta]

Might be able to generate some stupid network PR (MSNBC, CBS, NPR, etc) by making them believe that this convention is a civil war in the Republican party..... don’t let them know that it is actually a complete take over.

[GeronL]

I find it amazing that Sowell can be so right on so many issues and think the answer is.... to do nothing and not make waves or make the left angry

[Salvavida]

Let's make this happen.

[FreeAtlanta]

You are very right. I make sure to say Taxed Enough Already whenever I start a conversation with someone who doesn’t know what it is. I often have genuine questions coming from people who are confused about it or think it is an extremist movement.

It is amazing how well the Democrats, Republican Establishment and Media have been able to confuse people. If they all worked with us, we could fix this country.

Oh Come On W.K.W.E

Enlighten us Mid Westerners

I have never been further east than Indiana.

I can only imagine what New Hampshire is like.
