“What you mean ‘we,’ kemosabe?”
How about telling the rest of the story?
None were in a position to vote on it and were relying on the same information the rest of us were. All be it that many of us opposed TARP from the beginning. Only one came out and quickly withdrew his support when he realized what we were sold was not what was being delivered.
Why the excerpt? I’m not going over there to read this tripe.
Not to worry the Tea Party is doing just fine,
It only reveals it’s true power at election time,
Like water no man can grab and hold it by hand,
But when the time comes it’s a tsunami across the land
The most constitutional and conservative
will be the Tea Party pick who remains
and since the good Lord himself ain’t running
that pick will be President Herman Cain.
Pahleeze, this is getting old. Just because you don’t see the tea party around, maybe you run in the wrong circles. And since you might be hanging around with the squirrels, you might be a lib plant. Past tense, ick. Go away, and don’t come back until after election.
I have said before. The Tea party is basically in bed with the bankers and the corrupt financial system. That is why they will not survive in any meaningful form. The tea party calls the corruption, Capitalism. we have a back door redistribution of wealth from the every day tax payer to the wall street bankers that created this whole mess and the tea party has its head buried in the sand.
The Tea Party was going great guns, and getting encouragement from a variety of quarters... all the way up until the November 2010 elections. Then, it was of no use to the GOP establishment types, and they’ve been joining in with the media, discrediting it and backstabbing its supporters ever since.
With all the insane Obama stimulus corruption and sleaze, the Tea Party ‘should’ be roaring back with a vengeance. But instead, everything is being consciously tamped down, concurrent with the attempt to pawn off the likes of tired, uninspiring political hacks like Romney and Perry to the GOP primary electorate. A really depressing turn of events, to be sure.
The Tea Party has lost about half the side of its message. The beginning of the Tea Party was against the bailouts, but now it is just against a tax increase and deficit spending. The Tea Party needs to remind the government that bailouts are still not acceptable.
Should have stuck with opposition to bailouts and other financial issues..
T-party getting scooped by OWS.
Lost momentum and lost the single best issue with which to beat not only Obama, but plenty of Congressial Dems and RINOs in 2012 who supported/still support bailouts.
Some of us have been saying this for 2 years now.
I get updates everyday with news and actions. Stop being so negative and join the movement. Get your friends and families involved. Spread the word via email and facebook. It will grow and spread if you get involved.
There is no TEA Party. There are TEA Parties. And although some of you don’t participate, don’t project onto the rest of us.
