I said that Ron Paul is definitely NOT responsible for the Tea Party movement. That is hogwash.

Your response? “Get your head out. No, he is not THE man behind the TPM ...”

My comment was that he was not the man behind the TPM. Apparently that was an accurate statement since you repeated it. I think it is clear where you keep your head. I just wonder how long you can maintain that contorted position.

As far as Ron Paul is concerned, I have agreed with much of what he has said in the past about the need for politicians to adhere to the Constitution they took an oath to defend. There are other things he has said that seem a little goofy to me.

The TPM is a national, grass roots movement that has scared the politicians, especially the Democrats. Before I would credit Ron Paul with playing a significant role in the TPM I would credit Glen Beck with that.

I credit Glenn Beck, too (no doubt!). Not to mention Sarah Palin, who I believe motivated a lot of people after the elections. Yes, it IS a grassroots movement, & I hope that they stand solidly on their principles w/o giving an inch to anyone.

If I came across as being too harsh in a previous comment I sincerely apologize.
