There is a group out there that goes by the name of Tea Party Patriots. I wonder how you got on their call list?
I didn’t know that the tea party was getting involved in 2nd amendment issues. Sounds more like someone is using the name for cover.
Not me, but I dumped the hardline phone a couple months ago and if I don’t recognize an incoming call on my cell, I don’t answer.
I am done spending money on any of this nightmare.
So, what was the point of being nasty with a telemarketer for the Tea Party Patriots?
You realize that conservative organizations hire telemarketers just like everyone else, and they aren’t all as well versed on every issue as maybe you are.
You either think the Tea Party Patriots are a good cause or you don’t, there was no reason to get snippy with her.
Whoever 'they' are, I end up deleting 3 or 4 beg-e-mails per week from 'em.
Re the phone calls: Digitone Call Blocker
I know things are tight all over, but it's worth every penny.
That after exploring methods of causing permanent hearing loss to spam callers; but that would have required time out of my day, and that little box above handles it w/o intervention.
cheers
Okay. Maybe Syncro can chime in because IIRC, he is involved with the party Express. Beware of teaparty.net and TPNN.. ‘tea parties’names have been hijacked and are just fund raising scams, run by lobbyists. They use only the internet..because it costs them nothing. I’m starting to wonder if they’ve all been hijacked!
[snip]Tea Party News Network is in cohorts with TheTeaParty.net, a clone of The Tea Party Patriots whose main purpose is to make money and get names and email addys of tea partiers.
Both have been quite successful in those areas.
And they both have tried their best to be seen as THE leaders of the Tea Party Movement.
The TPP were quite aggressive when they started up, and attacked The Tea Party Express and sent emails to all their signups denigrating the TPX.
Probably because the TPX was doing high profile nationwide tours in order to promote tea party principles and TPP wanted all the attention and...well...money.
The guy that started theteaparty.net (Todd Cefaratti, Freedom Organizer) is associated with the Tea Party News Network and ironically enough they both have the same address....in a “virtual” office space in DC right down the street from the White House. $149 a month.
It’s only natural that they would diss Palin, who is a stand up Tea Party type of individual.
There is more information showing that these people are outside of conservatism, and don’t adhere to Tea Party principles...unless as a cover to make money.
They begged for extra money before CPAC to “protect” Scottie Nell Hughes because the nasty leftists were threatening her, or so they say.
Here’s a link to a thread here at FR where Cefaratti introduced himself to Free Republic as a tea party guy. He is so full of himself he said that this blog...Free Republic...”was started to look in to the validity of our organization”
He was called on many falsehoods, such as saying he did a nationwide bus tour.
He was referring to the Tea Party Express tour, which he had NOTHING to do with.
He slunk away from FR and went on to make money and a “name” for himself.
And here he is with another organization and hyping his orgs as THE TEA PARTY!
The Tea Party Movement is alive and well in spite of those that try to co-opt and destroy it.
It’s no surprise that they want to marginalize Palin, like the GOPe and liberals have been doing for some time. Not going to work.

My Caller ID showed “TPP” the other day.
I answered—it was the Tea Party Patriots...he said.
Wanted money. No surprise.
But, I was put off by his impatience with anything I wanted to say. (had to say I was in dyer straits, $$$-wise)
At first, I was p.o.’d by his demeanor, but then thought he’s a volunteer and couldn’t spend much $$$ on phone calls to folks.
But, now...maybe something’s suspicious.
I AM the Tea Party—but will be wary in the future. Maybe give a little to those that are local.
I recall some news reports around election time last year of ‘fake’ calls using the Tea Party references to raise money.

Be cautious of anyone calling as fundraisers. When I had a landline, I frequently got calls from the Fraternal Order of Police or Sheriffs, etc.
Suddenly the penny dropped.
Bloomberg and his anti-gun organization are doing the equivalent of “push polling”, except it really does cross over the line to “wire fraud”.
He is using the same technique that George Soros did in setting up fake Catholic organizations, often with no Catholics in them, then trying to solicit donations from Catholics. The intent was that Catholics would unknowingly pay for the anti-Catholic agenda, thinking they were giving money to a pro-Catholic organization.
Importantly, any Catholic who mistakenly sent them money was listed as a “Catholic supporter” of the anti-Catholic organization.
In this case, Bloomberg’s group announced it was planning to do something like almost a year ago. The emphasis is to “close the gun show loophole”, with mandated background checks. They planned TV and radio ads, fake polls, and other low rent dirty political tricks.
I am getting spammed with calls from TPP and Tea Party Patriots. I’ve blocked them. You don’t know who you are really talking to when someone like this calls you.
I just lost my electric for 3-4 minutes. I am using my phone now. I can’t get on the Internet from my computer. I called several peeps in my hood and they are fine . Will reboot
I got a call from a TEA party lady yesterday and I hung up on her because I will send money when I have it to send, but to worthy local organizations. (Yes, she blabbed about the Constitution.) I hate it when grass roots groups rally around a cause and then find a way to perpetuate their victimhood into a non-profit (Oh, we’re having a national convention, send money so we can pay for it). No different from government orgs that outlive their usefulness but then keep on going.
Makes me just ignore any calls I don’t know, especially private numbers, I have had quite a few same number robo calls on a daily basis lately.
And the communists would love to do fake Tea Party callings, heck they would even masquerade as a local 2A Tea Party Militia hoping to get 2A patriots to start firing upon a federal building.
Rats are rats, especially commie rats.
Figured them out real good you did.
Their buddy that used to fly them around in his private jet must have found new friends.
Buyer BEWARE bump!
Tea Party Patriots is totally useless. All they talk about is the budget and financial issues, but they either ignore immigration, or are pro-amnesty, seeing it as a dreaded “SOCIAL ISSUE!” despite the fact that illegals cost the U.S. $113 billion every single year - more than ObamaCare. I get nowhere with them either, like this poster. I don’t know why Mark Levin pimps them endlessly, unless they are an advertiser.
She probably was not a Tea Partier. She is was probably a fund raiser who had nothing to with the Tea Party. She only knew the script from which she was reading.
