Trump addresses tea party crowd in Boca Raton (hundreds gathered)
tbo.com/AP ^ | 4/16/2011

Sounding increasingly like a candidate, Donald Trump repeatedly told a raucous tea party crowd today he has the qualities needed in the White House and the conservative ideals necessary to seal the Republican nomination should he decide to run.

Trump struck familiar themes and talked about his own business acumen in his speech to hundreds gathered at a park here, where his name festooned signs, buttons and T-shirts of supporters. The real estate mogul even talked about the type of people he'd have serve as diplomats and said he was looking forward to releasing his financial disclosures.

"Most very successful people, the kind of people that we need running our country, don't want to be scrutinized and abused," he said. "This is the kind of person that this country must have right now."

He derided President Barack Obama, calling him the worst to occupy the White House in history. He again questioned whether the president was born in the U.S., even though the fact has been affirmed by officials in Hawaii, where Obama was born. And he maligned China, saying the U.S. should take control of Iraqi oil and described American infrastructure as third world.

Trump ticked through a number of issues seen as bedrocks for conservative candidates, saying he is anti-abortion, against gun control and wants to repeal Obama's health care law. Throughout the speech, he portrayed the U.S. as a nation in decline and himself as its potential savior.

“So far I see only capons in the group!the woman will fight but it will be a long shot.

Would you care to recompose that sentence? It’s not clear what/who you mean.”

No, and you lose for the reading comprehension Act! any freeper would get that in a second.

Although this was the third annual Boca Raton Tea Party, it turned into a pep rally for Trump.

What with all the people with signs and buttons for Trump.

One poster correctly called it a Trump-o-rama.

It will come to that because of brainless idiots who believe that Trump is something he's not. :-) Ah well... unwise people are destined to suffer. :-) The best I can do is to be able to look back afterward and with a clean conscience tell them that I did nothing to make it worse. :-)

I will have to say that I'm thoroughly enjoying watching Trump dump cold cash into researching B.O.'s lack of a birth certificate. :-) If trump wants to dump money into pissing Obama off, then great! But Trump won't get far with any great numbers of conservatives. Too many people see him for what he is.... a pandering buffoon with lots of money. :-)

Um, yes you can:

Donate money to liberals, including ultra liberal Rahm Emanuel, support Obamacare and universal healthcare, practice eminent domain for person gain, and will likely split the GOP vote on put Obama in for another 4 years.

And honey, McCain lost because conservatives wouldn't vote for a RINO.

You clearly have defined yourself as NOT CONSERVATIVE by your attacks on Palin...

_________________________________

Absolute childish nonsense. Being a conservative is not in any way defined by whether or not one supports palin.

And, my "attacks" on palin are nothing but stating those aspects of her own words and actions that you palinites would like the rest of the world to ignore.

To me, donating to Harry Reid, Schumer, Wiener, Emanual, all during the last couple of years, is helping the Democrats. To me, somebody who wanted Kerry over Bush and somebody who wanted Hillary as president is helping the Democrats. The fact that I have to point out such an obvious thing on FreeRepublic, I find astonishing.

Brain Surgeon You ever do BIG business in NY City?? That should answer your tirade.

Hey genius.

Hillary Clinton, Anthony D. Weiner, Charles Schumer, Charlie Crist, Harry Reid, Arlen Specter, Chris Dodd, Charles Rangel, John Kerry, are all federal government politicans. If one wanted to break the law by giving political donations to a politican and asking for favors in NYC, one would of course give money to a LOCAL NYC politican. You do not get it do you???????????

And BTW smart guy, I've been doing business in NYC half my life.

GWB was the last decent man to serve in the White House. I believe he was a thoroughly decent man, and that history will show him overall to have been a very good president on the key issues he was faced with during an extraordinary time in US history.

He was not evil; he was, however, on several points very poorly served. And at the top of the list of those who serve him poorly were McClellan, Martinez and Rove.

Still, the buck stops in the Oval Office, and that poor advice that Bush chose to follow got us Obama. I don’t know who can deny that.
