The TP is not a political party. It is a designation for a commitment to return this once great nation to its roots: personal freedom with responsibility, complete separation of government and business, the dignity of God given natural rights. And, yes, an end to the slaughter of innocents.

Bring back Businesses to America

by:

Getting Government out of the way of Business

which involves:

* reducing corporate taxation
* carrying out tort reform to reduce legal vulnerability
* removing crushing and irrational environmental regulation
* getting socialists out of office so that businesses know they won’t be held hostage by pro-Union arbitrary Government
* rescinding the commerce clause.
* rescinding all forms of affirmative action
* rescinding Obamacare
* rescinding ... < add your own examples of restrictive financial repression here >

Big Business was never pro free market.

Has never been and will never be.

Obama: "Shovel-ready was not as shovel ready as we expected." What a Joke (to them, GE Imholf, DD Kullman, can't see the far-right person).

Would they rather have Ted Cruz or Elizabeth Warren in charge?


Probably Warren. Many of these corporate types supported McAuliffe. They are much more comfortable with a deal making Dem than a conservative.

Cruz’s wife is a managing partner at Goldman Sachs.

I’m not sure what to make of that.

Kilberg has supported many Republicans in the past but refused to back Cuccinelli, who was outspent $32 million to $19 million by McAluliffe, according to the Virginia Public Access Project. Kilberg said she was turned off by Cuccinelli's focus on social issues like gay marriage and abortion and the tea party-fueled government shutdown (in contrast, the technology group Kilberg leads endorsed Cuccinelli).

Kilberg needs to take a time-out and go on a retreat, to think about who he is and where he is going with his warped and twisted thinking.

The Tea Party are people who believe in fiscal responsibility, who support the sanctity of life, who believe in common sense, who believe in, and thank God, who know that men and women are NOT interchangeable, who know the Constitution and who love our country.

If Kilberg is against those things, what is he for? Has Kilberg fallen for the propaganda that Tea Party members are extremists? Is Kilberg able to articulate exactly what and where the extremism is directed? Or is he another low information politician who shops and selects what he believes? Maybe someday his eyes will be open.

Has Kilberg noticed that Cruz and Sarah Palin were correct in their assessments of the Affordable Care Act? Can he connect the dots?

"If the tea party wants to be part of winning in 2016, they're going to need to be inclusive, they're going to need to stop challenging Republican incumbents in primaries," said Bobbie Kilberg...Kilberg has supported many Republicans in the past but refused to back Cuccinelli

Classic RINO mindset. Backstab the conservative who won the primary fair and square, yet demand we support their RINOs.

I wouldn't let it bother you. After all, Lloyd Blankfein is "... doing God's work".

Is she a secret agent, or is Cruz just another one of the establishment? To me it has to be one or the other.

If the corporate elite want to support the Rinos the result will be Tea Party grassroots splitting the Republican voters. This will lead to more of the commie Democrats to win elections. Then the commie Democrats will start raping the corporate elite who will be the biggest targets from which to steal wealth. So the corporate elite will hang themselves in the end. Justice will prevail in the end.

I have been to a few Tea Party events. Started out as a result of the CNBC character talking about the taxes that were going to be imposed and has grown in mission.

The dems and the RINOs want to make it a political party so they can demonize us. We are actually just everyday Americans who know the ruling class is acting Unconstitutionally.

Uh, aren’t those of us who are TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY a huge (or is it hugh?) block of CONSUMERS that “Business” should cater to?

We all knew that the problem is bigger than the dhimmis and GOPe.

The problem is DC and the incestuous relationship between gov/business/union/media all at our expense.

They've all agreed on how to divvy up the money and the TP is threatening to upset their cozy little scheme.

Primaries are the key. It is the Achilles heel of the statist system.

Riiiight... like there are no business owners among the 140-Million members of the TEA Party. This "author" (more appropriately known as a "liberal looney propagandist") appears to have ignored that over 60% of the TEA party are small (and large!) business owners.

But don't let facts get in the way of your prosthelytizing screed. Liberals are so arrogant and ignorant that they still believe they can convince Americans that the TEA Party is something inherently evil, despite that we are the TEA Party to which they refer.

Since it's obvious that a war is coming, and most of our Lefty pals are none too familiar with operating a firearm, I have a helpful tip for all of them:

Hey, Libtards... when the battle begins, just be sure that you're staring into the right hole when you push that trigger...

LMAO!!!!

What scares the hell out of the Left is a reduction in benefits. What scares the hell out of businesses with consumer exposure is a reduction in benefits (that would be spent at their retail or online locations).

The American Left and American business are a whole lot closer than people realize. There’s not a grocer or gas station that wants to see a drop in benefits. It would immediately hit their bottom line, with no corresponding increase in sight.

Let them form their own third party. They can call it the Commerce party. That will go over big.

I was thinking the Feudal Party. It seems they want to bring back feudalism with them as barons, us as serfs. They're just a bunch of rentseeking parasites that need to be thrown off the gov't teat - which is their greatest fear and why they oppose the Tea Party.

Let’s come up with a cutesy new name for it.

How about we call it “The Third Way”.

Darn it.

Hillary already has that name for her economic plan.
