If the grassroots TEA Party movement could nominate a candidate for president, who would it be?
July 9, 2009 | Jim Robinson

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We feel our elected officials and politicians of both political parties have failed us and no longer represent our interests or the country we love, and no longer deserve our support.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!

Jim, I believe the next three years will see your contribution to the country via FR grow larger than ever—and this thread demonstrates why.

Thank you.

At this point, the only person(s) who can solve the problem is a non-politician or a lawyer. Someone who has common sense and has made his mark on society.

There’s Chuck Norris, Ted Nugent, Jon Voight, Gary Sinese - even Elizabeth Hasselhoff. Person needs to tell America - here’s how we are going to reform the budget: take a single mom, a retired couple and a parents of a large family. Lock them in a room and let them come up with the budget. Now you have people’s attention!

Start hacking away at departments - Energy, Education, HHS, Interior, Commerce, etc. Eliminate EPA, OSHA, IRS, and so on. Appoint Ann Coulter to the SCOTUS. Make Beck Secretary of State. And so on.

Then watch the votes roll in and the stinking LIBs leave the country.

I do not know how you can say Sarah has fortitude, when she just QUIT! ??? How does fortitude and quitting fit together?

Will she tell the terrorists that they are costing her too much time and too much money, and she is going to quit being President, because it is best for the country? The democrats who came after her, where a type of terrorist. Trying to cause disorder and discord in her family and to her finances. A leader would come up with a better way to stop them, than to quit. clinton and Bush both had all sorts of harrassing lawsuits and charges against them and their families. They didn't quit. They either ignored or fought. I wish Sarah had too.

For the TEA Party I would be in favor of someone with instant name recognition. A name that would resonate positively in every household, a name that would give a lift in times of stress. I would suggest one of the Lipton brothers......

silence

silence

silence

OK, just kidding. I would enthusiastically support Governor Palin until and/or unless someone with greater ability to motivate and energize comes along.

My choice is Sarah Palin.

Personality is not my reason. I like her Conservative values and her love of America.

I hope she runs.

Keep hearing it's a start.

It's more than was being done before, so yes, it is a start.
