Mr. Armey and his closest associates controlled this government for a decade. What did they do with that historic opportunity? They spent like Lyndon Johnson on crack, and did little to restore the moral basis of our republic or to put the federal government back within its constitutional bounds. Why should we trust him?

I trust Dick Army NOT!
He was out beating the drums for amnesty! He is not only a RINO, he is a RINO operative out to subvert conservatives for his money masters.
He is a hired cardboard actor who cares nothing for Our Republic or Main Street.

The very idea that “Dick” Armey would author “A Tea Party Manifesto” is beyond laughable - it’s absurd!

He ia a political pariah in his former Congressional district entirely for his Washingotn-centric views, and the fact he had become a MAJOR defender of the status quo, big spending, business-as-usual politics. The “Tea Party Movement” is largely a reaction to him and people like him!

In a very recent visit to the Denton County GOP monthly committee meeting, an abortive attempt to give him a standing ovation was abruptly dropped because only 3 or 4 stood, while the other 80-some-odd attendees mostly sat with their arms folded!

DICK ARMEY a “Tea Party” lelader? ROTFLMAO!

There are only two viable political parties in America and we are unfortunately stuck trying to operate inside the Repukes party.

It worked as we ran up to 1980, and it did in part because we built better bridges to disaffected Dems than any of the establishment Repukes ever could have.

If the tea party patriots have the stomach for it, they could try the same thing—go get the disaffected Dems and maybe double their own numbers...and just steamroll the Republican party when the time comes.

But you need a leader, and that person is Sarah Palin and only Sarah Palin. She’s the only one with the stones for the job, and she’s the one who can win. The others either don’t have the name recognition, have no balls, aren’t conservative or just have no sizzle.

Start with Palin, then go for the Dem women who might naturally gravitate her way. Then look for those “bitter clingers” who are still voting Dem for some reason. Then, go for rank and file who are hearing more and more about how their union leadership are shafting them and pissing away their dues and pension money on leftie causes. After that, try the Jews—if they aren’t ready to elect a bona fide Zionist president....

It’s there. It can be done. Hell, it was in 1980. We took that party over back then and we can do it again.

I wish the Republican party was trustworthy but that isn’t the case.

The Tea Party better keep its distance from Dick Armey.

What Dick Armey should be is La Raza’s front man, he’s given enough speeches that sound just like them.

Dick Armey and Freedom Works is the antithesis of what the Tea Party Movement is all supposed to be about. You cannot change Washington, governement, etc....with Armey involved. Open Borders Globalism espoused by Armey is part of the problem

saw a comment on YouTube -

“the Tea Party is the last resort before the shooting starts”

so, basically, the left should be glad that we HAVE the Tea Party.
