The media often stress those “negatives” at the expense of the positive basic tenets of the Tea Party movement: smaller government, fiscal responsibility and free markets – tenets that, when highlighted, are in fact bullish signals for an ailing economy.

Got an email from PCCC saying that if the Tea Party powered GOP won, important subsidies for my business (agriculture) will be in danger. (I do not accept subsidies)
Not only are the ‘Progressives’ trying to scare little old ladies about loosing their SS, they’re using the same scare tactics on businesses.

LOL

You know what. You can totally exchange the term “tea party” with “Patriotic American’

Really, its not a political movement. It HAS no party. Its just Americans who know their rights and are now awake to how many of the government has STOLEN from us.
