I’m always interested in what denizens of Manhattan’s upper east side think about the Tea Party.

...financial (and moral) corruption of a Tea Party group operating under the name Move America Forward...

Still think our spare change and dollars should go directly to candidates we support and not to another useless "party".

There is no Tea Party, just groups of concerned citizens who agree on certain basic principles. Each group does its own thing. There is no organizational hierarchy.

If true, did they hire trolls to troll FR and other conservative sites to slander and malign any Republican?

Let’s hope they don’t get it anytime soon.

It’ll give us more time to prevail.

What a simple doosh this writer is.

There’s a difference between con men horning in on the action to rip off money on the one hand, and the buying and selling of influence that goes on in more Establishment circles on the other, though.

We need a comprehensive critique of these groups by someone we can trust and then let us find out what the real truth is.

I would be interested to know if you ever find out that is the case. Seems like it sometimes.

I attended a Tea Party Express Rally a few years ago. I gave them money, but I was uneasy about them. It had the feeling of a circus side show.

Considering that they are sitting on America's biggest bullseye for foreign wannanuke terrorists and dictators, they ought to worry more about the consequences of believing their own drivel.

Jimmy Carter really hosed us when he gave away the Panama Canal (the Chinese now run it, as invisibly as possible), but New Yorkers are giving away Manhattan to all those Paki and Somali cab drivers. "Victory mosque", indeed. And Noo Yokkers are worried about us?

They must think they can bribe the attackers when they come at them. Probably also plan to negotiate with God on Judgment Day.

A stick.

Time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like a banana.
