“Who started it then?”
.
Mark Williams and Melanie Morgan were the public face of the beginning of the TEA movement.
.
Mark Williams, the guy who was kicked out of the Tea PArty Express, not the Tea Party? When did he start the Tea Party? Or are you changing the wordage to movement so you can fit the TPE into the TP?
Ron Pul had a “Tea Party” moneybomb in 08. In Feb 09, Rick Santelli and Dave Ramsey talked about a Tea Party. The first protests were in Feb sponsored by Freedom Works. The movement is fiscal. I dont know why that bothers you, other than you cant control it. Are you a closeted marxist?
No one is saying socons shouldnt be in, just that social issues are not the focus of this particular movement. Just as finance is not the focus of right to life movements, even though they would welcome people who care about the economy.
