Yeah, let's just shut up and do things your way. That worked so well in the past.

The Tea Party's public image is that they're a bunch of hicks who march around and shout about what and who they don't like; and don't have any ideas worth speaking of.

That's just the fact.

I'd think you might want to change that, rather than whining to me about how mean the MSM is to the Tea Party. It's damned unmanly.

Guess what, bucko? That image is a complete manufacture of the MSM - and you are joining in on it. Typical. It's pretty pathetic that you are joining in the line of attack on the Tea Party instead of defending it here.

And another direct parrot of the MSM on your part. It isn't whining to tell the truth about how the MSM lies.

You may have the last word, weasels like you are a waste of time once they have shown their true nature.

No, your "fact" was wrong so I corrected it. The Tea Party is seen by a majority of Americans as a positive force. It's only seen by those who oppose it as what you describe.

Frankly, making false statements is damned unmanly.

The Tea Party’s public image is that they’re a bunch of hicks who march around and shout about what and who they don’t like; and don’t have any ideas worth speaking of.

Thats just your opinion and the MSMs. I remember a Rasmussen poll where respondents said they had a higher favorable rating of the Tea Party than both the Democrat and Republican parties. So if we’re just a bunch of dumb hayseed hicks why is it that the Tea Party won big in the last election? We’re not going anywhere. The old RINO, liberal establishment way of doing things are coming to an end.

You could write for Maddow, Matthews et al.

Parroting misleading leftist talking points is to post out of ignorance of the facts.

The left doesn't like smaller government, lower taxes, honest politicians, etc which are TPM ideas you describe as not "have(ing) any ideas worth speaking of."

Keep up the good work for the enemy r9etb, and go for it with the childish manhood attacks when you are backed into a corner. They prove your points quite well.

Then it's funny that one of the lead "hicks" uses terms that many people seem to have only have a passing understanding of, if any at all....

If these same people would....

stop...

think...

& looked up the full usage for the term

and not rely on their passing understanding of the term...

Or ASSUME they, and only they, have a full knowledge of the proper use in context for the term...

they would learn the term, as used by Ms Palin , was not only in perfect context...

but also it use was perfectly appropriate in the context of the despicable and vile charges being made by some in the aftermath of the AZ shooting

And at the risk of using an inappropriate term here.......

Bullseye, Ms Palin, Bullseye

You are just parroting MSM viewpoints on the tea party.

Despite the best efforts of the liberal media, polls suggest tea party is view favourably.
