The Tea Party's Brain

Ron Paul led the annual Fourth of July parade through Friendswood, Texas, from the back of a gleaming pickup truck that inched along behind a replica of the Liberty Bell and just ahead of Lady Liberty herself, who was sitting in a Corvette and seemed to have wilted under the oppressive noonday sun. Or perhaps the oppressive policies of Barack Obama—it was hard to tell which. Along the parade route, the Stars and Stripes vied for prominence with STOP OBAMA signs.

I think this is a fairly well balanced profile of Ron Paul - for interested parties that may not be aware of his history. I found it the article informative and was happy to further investigate the roots of his economic theories and opinions.

More like the Tea Party’s @$$.

OK, Please explain. I had no idea who he was until I read the article.

Thanks

Ron Paul is a lunatic. Hardly a good representative of the Tea Party.

He’s as much the brain as Algore is the father of the internet. This just proves he’s the typical lying politician just out for the vote.

To address these grievances, Paul was ready and waiting. He is not the Tea Party’s founder (there isn’t one)

If there was a leader, the left would have a much easier time squashing it. Since the leaders are THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, it kinda makes it difficult to go after that one leader, as the left have been trained to do.

LOL-BIGTIME!!

“I had no idea who he was until I read the article.”

Seriously?

RP has done little or nothing for the Tea Party movement.
If you can’t even help fix Texas, what makes you think he can help fix the USA.
