Oh yea, this will help. I’m really, really beginning to loathe the GOP.

That's a shame since the movement started with Ron Paul and his libertarian followers... I knew Paul was old, but I didn't know he was Ben Franklin old.

“

What is this guy smoking?

“since the movement started with Ron Paul and his libertarian followers”
Is that true? I kinda thought it started with Glenn Beck.

“I suppose our questioning merely rubbed their noises too deeply in their ignorance.”
Perhaps they are “purging” you because you come across as an arrogant prick.

It was as if they were devoid of ideas, marooned with empty rhetoric and no real solutions…. Always a good way to win your argument by insulting those who don't agree with you.

If the Tea Party movement is to function merely as the activist wing of Republican talk radio, it won't get very far.
But if they hitch their wagon to the Ron Paul star... wow... there's no telling how far they can go... in East Texas.

The tea party movement actually started in 1773. Many have taken up the name, but the latest movement has direct themes to the original tea party. Paul and his ilk used the name for some of their little anti-war, Guy Faulks type protests, but it had nothing to do with the Tea Party protests you see around the country now.

Ladies in the Republican Town Committee organized our Tea Party. They made a point of being non-partisan. No elected officials were invited to speak. One candidate for the second district was along with a Libertarian. The candidate, a constitutionalist Republican, Matthew Daly, spoke for five minutes in a non-partisan way.
The Libertarian went on a twenty minute rant about George Bush and Republicans. He also canvassed the crowd trying to sell crap.

A cause without a rebel.
How cute.
How catchy.
And how obviously and demonstrably untrue.
I would mention the name of the rebel but I don’t want to sully that name by having it mentioned in the same thread as Ron Paul.
But y’all know who I mean.

Gee, no one in our area thought that they were “Ron Paul” acolytes, we merely objecting to all elected “masters” who believed that they know what's best for all Americans merely by getting elected!

"Is that true? I kinda thought it started with Glenn Beck." I think the original idea came from somebody name Santelli or Santori (from CNBC) and an off-the-cuff comment that he made during a live broadcast when he was railing against the original bailout.

When did Ron Paul supposedly start the Tea Party movement? When this guy was his homie
