I guess I misunderstood what the Tea Party stood for — either that, or there are some far right Libertarians taking it over and redefining it. I believed the Tea Party existed to encourage people to vote for fiscally conservative candidates. From the way you (and others on FR) are ranting about what I consider “irrelevant” issues (I’m sure you’re going to jump on THAT word), one would think you prefer to keep Obama in office so he can further destroy the country - at least until a sufficiently pure candidate arises like a phoenix and leads your group into the promised land of a Third-Party.
If you’re in the Tea Party and this ISN’T what you believe, please speak up! I’m beginning to think I’m just a fiscally and socially conservative Republican rather than a Tea Party sympathizer.
Sue - I have a 100% Tea Party mentality. I’m Taxed Enough Already. Sarah Palin is in plain sight. Her record of accomplishment is extraordinary. Her leadership skills are proven. If you seek a candidate that is far above Perry & Romney, please watch “The Undefeated” - Palin is an amazing success story and an executive that is exactly who our nation needs.
The Tea Party is NOT about electing one corrupt bastard to replace another. If you thought that was what the Tea Party was about, yes, you have been misinformed.
A pattern of corruption may be ‘irrelevant’ to you, but it’s not to a whole lot of us. A lot of us tend to notice when hypocrites on our side of the aisle get ‘outraged’ about Solyndra and tolerate the same kind of behavior from ‘our guys’.
That kind of mindless party loyalty has played a huge role in how far this country has fallen in recent years. It must stop if we are to restore this nation.
“one would think you prefer to keep Obama in office “
One would have one’s head so far up their behind it would be impossible to excavate if one believed that were true about this particular social and fiscal conservative.
But, that is just one’s opinion.
If one thinks this country needs a replay of the last debacle when “Republicans” held all the cards, one is nuts.
It’s time to flush the Grand Old Potty and get some new blood in there.
