Please explain how Ron Paul ignited the fire that led to rise of the Tea Party. It's a bottom-up, grassroots movement, created by the people and for the people.
Get off your arse. Go to a Tea Party meeting. Learn for yourself.
I've been to area Tea Party events and participated in such meetings. Sure, I've found a few who admire Ron Paul but there's not the fervor for him as there is for Sarah Palin or Herman Cain.
As for who (or what) was the spark for the Tea Party rebellion, I think this thread covers that topic: Who Started the Tea Party Movement?. There are a couple of enlightening posts by Jim Robinson and I don't see him crediting Ron Paul as the one who ignited the movement.
“Sure, I’ve found a few who admire Ron Paul but there’s not the fervor for him as there is for Sarah Palin or Herman Cain.”
Well, if we are talking about fervor, then that is another subject. At least you had the courage to admit “a few” admire Ron Paul. But if you were honest, you would admit there were a little more than a few.
That said, when it comes to fever, I am on fire for Sarah. I hope she will run. Since she is my number 1 choice. Cain? I am still listing, waiting on Sarah to decide. But, if she chooses not to run, then, I will likely support Cain. Either way, not Ron Paul. Although I am a proponent of many of his principles, as stated. Just not all of them. Some of which are unfathomable.
nortex, did you really need the boss to help you? Can’t you stand on your own two feet?
“’Ron Paul is the man who ignited the fire, creating the Tea Party.....’
Please explain how”
He meant to say, Ron Paul ignited a big joint and smoked some special “tea” before the party.
