Has the Tea Party Been Hijacked By GOP Rinos?

Christian Coalition doesn’t exist in politics any more. The federal government went after it.

If you think the Republican Party or the Tea Party or this country can survive without tradtional values, then you’re posting on the wrong site.

I’m just saying that Taxed Enough is a libertarian party. If you want to push social values then the Tea Party is not for you. Now many such as Palin do but not at Tea Party events. Maybe go join up with the Huckleberry movement.

>>>>I don’t think we now need to start shooting anyone with a voice in the Tea Party

I agree with you. That is why I think the mistreatment of the Tea Party Express group was a disgrace. We can all disagree among ourselves. But liberals and the NAACP should not have any right to determine who should, or should not, be a member of the Tea Party movement.

“Dick’s Army is indeed a party of one. I am sick of Armey lecturing us on how racist we are for wanting to secure the border and stop amnesty”

Armey sold out. He now sucks.

Beware: Rinos in Conservative clothing...DICK ARMEY

http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/search?q=Dick+Armey

[snip]I got one of Dick Armey’s mass emails today about the march in DC which his group helped to promote. He says, “WE DID IT”.
My reply:

WE???? MR.ARMEY!
95% of those people oppose your soft stand on illegal immigration and AMNESTY!
You should be ashamed of hijacking this movement, you were one of millions promoting this rally.
You’re fooling them, just like Obama fooled his voters....they don’t know you that well.
And you should have listened to Milton Friedman, when he looked you in the eye and told you that NAFTA was NOT Free Trade, it is ‘managed trade’. QUOTE!.... “managed’’ just like Obama wants the government to ‘manage’ everything!

There is an attempt by establishment Republicans to hijack the Tea Party, in the same way in which the original conservative movement was hijacked by Rockefeller Republicans.

This is all part of the way to cause enough strife in the Republican party and Tea Party to cause enough to doom the conservatives thorough the 2012 elections.

Old guard fighting, in the Republican party will leave (along with media assistance) will leave it looking weak and ineffective. Think back to the last 4 years of Bush. The media was able to create a ton of lies to poison America against Bush and Republicans, allowing O to be elected.

The storm you will see against the conservatives, whether or not they take the house and senate, will be a media storm beyond what they did to take congress in 2008. The voters are not strong enough to stay with the conservatives through the storm.

Then the dems will have at least 4 loyal voices on SCOTUS. Then if they can take back at least one house in 2012 they will have prepped the way for a 2012 O presidency to get further than it is even now. Only with the possibility for O ruling with 5 or 6 SCOTUS members (at the end of that term), and a house to do as he wishes.

Conservative may really be done then. How would we ever come back from that??? Can anyone else see the danger here???

Okay with me, LOL. You can have the Tea Party movement with no values and see what happens.

[Nosterrex]

The Tea Party seems to have been co-opted by self appointed leaders with the aid of the MSM. There is not a single Tea Party, but it is composed of hundreds or thousands of Tea Party members.

To paraphrase Alexander Haig:

“Who’s in charge? I’m in charge!”

RIP and Salute!

This is just political subterfuge at its ‘finest’ 2010, imo.

The left doesn’t know how to battle a ‘headless’ organization that is ripping ‘em a new one..

As to Rinos, sigh.. what a waste .. ‘green’ waste .. time to recycle this move to the middle and get back to business.. before the national debt hits 25 trillion.. we’re only at what? about 14 trillion now and with Obama’s Mo’Money Regime agenda, if he served 8 years .. but who’s worried about debt these days? hmmmm..

Certainly not Big Gubamint and the practitioners of their ‘religion’.? I don’t think so.. or Rinos.

If the numbers were evenly split or in our favor we could get something done. But conservatives are a minority in the Republican party at the leadership levels. Good luck to us all, we will need it.

[Anti-Bubba182]

"Dick Armey's organization, the National Tea Party Federation..."

Where do you come up with that?

We need to fight harder, and we ALL need to vote in every election. We need to go to our elected officials' offices and make sure they know us and know that we expect them to uphold the Constitution before all else.

A small, vocal minority can effect change. The progressives sure weren't the majority when they started and look where they are now.

We have 'way too many "conservatives" who want immediate results, and if they can't have their way right now they're going to take their marbles and go home. It doesn't work that way. Nothing is immediate.

We didn't get into this mess overnight; it is going to take time and a lot of hard work to get out of it.

[SaxxonWoods]

Yes Gal, I’ll vote, don’t worry. Just in a mood about it right now. I’m not a stay-at-homer.

Cheers and thanks for your input.
