Pffft.... The bastard RINOs and related suckups never supported the TEA PARTY. Now, they want to lead the charge. Go get a life! Screw’em.

How about coming to the table with a mea culpa. No, they want to run the horse race.

Again, screw’em!

Yep, and any time the government or politicians get involved the chances of it getting screwed-up increases 10 fold.

If they got the message the Tea Parties sent, then why are they trying to use them as political tools?

The Tea Parties were a method of passing on the message that politicians were ignoring!

You said it. The GOP has no credibility on fiscal conservatism as it was them who got the ball rolling into this mess. Typical Republicans, trying to hornswaggle in on the grassroots. If they were smart, they’d offer ideas and contrast their plans with the Democrats.

“Pffft.... The bastard RINOs and related suckups never supported the TEA PARTY. Now, they want to lead the charge. Go get a life! Screw’em.”

Amen to that. Rick Perry only wants to grandstand some more so Kay Bailey Hutchinson won’t beat him in the Governor’s race. This has nothing to do with how he actually feels and everything to do with elections. Ditto Sanford—who grandstanded how he’d never take a dime, then took the stimulus money, the huge pile of government spending that the Tea Parties were organized to protest!

No, it doesn't. We just change the name to something else. The ones scheduled for the 4th should be something like "Freedom Protest" or some thing someone with a knack for names can come up with. I don't have that knack.

The point is we can't let politicians highjack this movement. The left wants it to be so because then they can disclaim in grassroots movement.

The RINOs of the republican pols want to pre-empt it so they can milk it for votes.

We simply change the name every time we protest and leave the a**hat politicians in the dust, both Dimwits and Republicans.

I know this is a governors thing. I wish Jim DeMint was on this train. Maybe as a special guest?

Are they RINO’s or what? Are they trying to dilute the effect of the Independence Day party? Will they push to get major press to a minuscule event? Do they not understand that politician organizers are unwelcome? What part of “grass roots” don’t they get? Are they stone dumb? Are the answers so obvious as to make all these rhetorical questions?
