If the grassroots TEA Party movement could nominate a candidate for president, who would it be?

The TEA Party movement is all about smaller, more representative government. We are fed up with our unresponsive, ever expanding and totally out of control BIG government.

We feel our elected officials and politicians of both political parties have failed us and no longer represent our interests or the country we love, and no longer deserve our support. The Democrat party is totally lost to Marxism and the Republican party is not far behind. I've heard thousands of people saying it's time to kick them ALL out!

Rebellion is brewing!

If we the members of the grassroots TEA Party movement could nominate a candidate for president, who would it be?

Well, obviously, it should not be a leading member of either of the two major political parties that have failed us so miserably that we're now on the brink of rebellion. No beltway insiders please. No next in line it's my turn candidates. No try again candidates. No media's choice candidates. No slick-haired, smooth talking, two-faced political hacks. Big government, big spending northeastern moderates need not apply.

Time for a fresh face. Time for someone who walks the walk as well as talks the talk. Someone who actually believes in America, believes in small government, believes in freedom, believes the people can and will fend for themselves and do not need or want a government nanny.

Time for an outsider. Time for an outcast. Someone who is not contaminated with Washington politics as usual. Someone with a record of standing up for individual rights, smaller government, smaller taxes, traditional American values, national pride, national defense. Someone who speaks from the heart and connects with we the people by speaking the truth and by truly representing our individual interests and individual freedoms.

Enough with Marxism! We need someone who will say No to more BIG government programs! Say NO to socialist BIG government health care systems! NO to BIG government takeover of private enterprise! NO to crippling BIG government energy boondoggles! NO to global warming hoaxes! NO to BIG spending, BIG taxes, BIG government!

But YES to American individuality, American freedom, American resourcefulness, American independence and the American can do spirit! And YES to American pride, patriotism and national defense!

And YES to good old American know how!

It's good to be American! It's good to be FREE!

You betcha!

Go Sarah!

Drill baby drill!

I hope like heck that Sarah will be invited for, and will accept, a speaker’s spot at the Tea Party in DC on Sept. 12th. At that point, she’ll be neither an office holder, nor a candidate for any office, and she’d be just the person to rally the conservative troops!

I can’t think of anyone I’d rather have as POTUS than Sarah! She has my support 100%.

If this country is to be saved, no more halfa$$ed attempts. Go for it and go for it 100% full throttle petal to the metal, we have been screwed enough.

This is EXACTLY what the Obama team is doing!

We've already killed off over 45,000,000 voters...

If the repubs don’t get someone worth their salt they are screwed. And I mean no one from the repubs tribe from 08 except SARA. The repubs are like the demonrats when they ran gore, kerry and ducaca. What a bunch of Di@k Heads. They better come up with someone fast.
