Never once does he mention the Tea Party and to insinuate he does is a lie.

Moderator: Should the Public Accommodations section of the 1964 Civil right Bill be open for revision?

Sanctimonium: No. I am not a Libertarian, and I fight very strongly against Libertarian influences within the Republican Party and the Conservative movement. I don’t think the Libertarians have it right when it comes to what the Constitution is all about. I don’t think they have it right as to how our history, what our history is, and we are not a group of people that believes in no government. I’ve got some real concerns about this movement within the Republican Party, and the Tea Party movement, to sort of refashion Conservatism, and I will vocally and publicly oppose it, and do my best to correct the record.

There are folks who rail against earmarks and I’m not someone, as you know, if you follow my career, who believes earmarks are necessarily a bad thing…" he goes on to defend his support of earmarks... yada yada yada

You wrote one sentence calling me a liar, and a second sentence incompletely paraphrasing what he said in the video, and then went on to list his merits as a candidate. Maybe you should have listened to the entire video, and not assumed most people wouldn't bother to link to the video, and you could safely call me a liar in order to support Sanctimonium. Either way, please apologize to me on this forum for calling me a liar. And please do so promptly.

Let me clarify. He only mentions the Tea Party with respect to those elements within it that align themselves with libertarians and propose the repeal or revision of the 1964 Civil Rights Bill. Your attempt to paint him as Anti-Tea party is what is the lie. The link I found the transcript on is that of Tea-party.org where they specifically point out that the video of short clips bunched together which you posted is taken completely out of context. It was produced by Ron Paul supporters as a hit piece. Truth is truth and that includes context. My paraphrasing turned out to be totally correct. So I apoligize that the words "Tea-Party" are not in the video. Your attempt to portray Rick as anti-tea party is a lie however. Here is a link to the full video: www.tea-party.org
