We either get politicians who uphold our views or we become politicians and do it ourselves.
Thinking about a spot on my village council myself. We have minimal local government and I would intend to keep it that way.
Does Mitt stick his little finger out when he sips his cup of tea? That’s the key question.
Yes, suing Gibson for nothing, blocking drilling across the country while paying for Brazil to drill in our waters, not allowing Boeing to open a plant in SC, Socializing medicine and adding tens of thousands of bureaucrats, amnesty by proxy with illegal invaders and literally being directly funded (and funding) Islamic terrorists (PA, Taliban, MB) is NOT extreme, the TEA Party is extreme.
I would like to understand how toasting Rashid Khalidi or supporting Raila Odinga or being friends with Soros or Ayers is “moderate” or “American.”
Liberalism is a true mental disorder. The press is useless.
All walks of life, black, white, brown, business owners, and unemployed Americans peacefully speak up against tyranny.
Oh, the humanity!
Blah blah Mittens....yet the GOP old boy RINO establishment despises those same TEA Party 'Hobbits'. Now you need those 'Hobbits' to help you win but Gandalf the Wizard you ain't.
What they’re essentially saying is, “The VOTERS (and that’s what the Tea Party really is) are bulling their way into the election.” Can’t they see how arrogant they are? The insinuation is, “how dare mere VOTERS express their opinions and participate in what we, the media and the ruling class so clearly own?”
They can try their reverse psychology and their demonization and fear-mongering all they want but they cannot stop the flow of reality crashing down on them any more than they could stop a tsunami from crashing into the shore.
The “Tea Party” is not a political party. It is “American people” from all walks and party affiliations.
Replace “Tea Party” in the article with “American people”, and you begin to see the disdain for regular Americans who are sick and tired of the crony capitalist political establishment culture.
AP: Tea party bulling its way into 2012 GOP race.
And the authors are clueless about who "the TEA party" are, and what their motivations are.
Let’s ask the press:
How is it, exactly, that the TEA Party can bully its way in to anything??
It doesn’t have any central leadership
It doesn’t have any money
It doesn’t threaten anyone phyically
The only power the TEA Party has is votes on election day.
And the only way that TEA Party votes matter, is when there are a lot of them. And why are there a lot of TEA Party voters? Because it is an attitude.
“After Washington’s debt showdown this summer, an Associated Press-GfK poll found that 46 percent of adults had an unfavorable view of the tea party, compared with 36 percent just after last November’s election.”
If only the AP was an honest broker and not merely a surrogate for Soros/Axelrod/Carey as proxies for the Obama-Communist agenda.
Every Leftist outlets from The Nation, to Rachel Maddow to WaPo constantly cite skewed polls that are, IMHO and ironically...influenced by a certain amount, by the same hate-America press.
If the press was not so abjected in favor of Marxism and moving the United States to a unionized, open borders Socialist state, we could actually get a true pulse on the feelings of Americans.
I think even the most nonsensical ObamaBot, in reality, could not be happy with the millions in vacations and “Ruling Class-Marie Antoinette” type optics for the globetrotting cellulite-assed Michelle Obama preaching carrots while chomping down on cheesecake on private jets.
Obama voted for every spending bill since he was a Senator. He sued companies to make bad loans, now he sues the same banks who made them. He hates guns, so he sends thousands of them to Mexico to have possibly hundreds of deaths occur because of the failed attempt to get more gun control here (earmark of a Stalin-Chavez type tyrant).
Obama is a f*ing disaster, on a scale that if we actually had KPMG audit the Federal Government and Fed, we would find trillions wasted and sent to our enemies.
20% real unemployment and the only Keynesian solution is more money for Government employees and union make-work jobs...I know this for a fact as they have re-paved our street 2x in two years as the Mayor of our town lives around the corner.
FUBO, you need be in Leavenworth with your cellie, Eric Holder.
90% of the people can't name a Tea Party Leader and 75% don't know a Tea Party member.
Question was something like this: "The Tea Party members of the House stalled debt ceiling legislation causing the credit rating of the USA to be lowered". "Do you view the Tea Party unfavorably"?
Establishment Progessives from both parties try to Buffalo us one more time that their is a difference between Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, while we decide to choose neither...
Seems to me that many of the things this article is saying about Republican's support of the TEA Party would also apply to Democrats who support Maxine Waters and the Congressional Black Caucus. But of course they leave out the names Waters and CBC.
“The AssPress Bias is showing.”
Why would you think tat?
“Americans are cooling to the tea party’s unyielding tactics and bare-bones vision of the federal government”
Tis a fine line between editorializing and reporting. The AP apparently has jumped over that line and is racing downhill to jump over the river as well.
The AP is displaying fear. The future is clearly visible......... their man has failed and is being rejected massively
The odor of fear permeates their writing

You two Obama butt-boys can GO TO HELL, as your Rat leader Maxine would say.
BTW, you would feel bullied by a Siamese kitten, so don't feel bad that you are intimidated by Palin and the Tea Partiers.
