The TEA (Taxed Enough Already) party sprang up in spontaneous rebellion to big government's big spending, big taxing ways. TARP, the bailouts, the PORKULUS package and ObamaCare lit the fuse. TEA partiers support the constitution's limited government restrictions. TEA partiers are non-partisan, i.e., we oppose the big government, big spending, big taxing moves of both the major political parties.
This is an open rebellion against business as usual big spending, overreaching government! We demand a return to constitutionally limited government!!
The socialist/progressive Democrat party is our natural enemy and they understand that and attack us accordingly.
The big government RINO socialist/progressive wing of the Republican party is also our natural enemy and they attack us accordingly. They fear us, but they NEED us. They despise us, spit on us, call us right-wing extremists and hateful bigots, but beg us for our votes. They EXPECT us to bend over in the end and willingly accept their BIG GOVERNMENT candidates and programs without any real opposition.
Oh, they may try to sugar coat it a bit, and placate us here and there with some smooth talk, and toss us a bone from time-to-time with conservative head feints, but it's clear they have no intention of ever changing their evil progressive ways.
The progressive wing of the GOP does not really comprehend that the TEA party rebellion is aimed squarely at THEM!!
They believe that we have nowhere else to go and that fear of an Obama second term will compel us to vote for a Republican version of BIG GOVERNMENT, big spending, big taxing, constitution ignoring progressive liar of a candidate.
Got news for them.
The TEA party rebellion is made up of tens of millions of liberty-loving, patriotic citizens who are totally fed up with corrupt, lying, two-faced, smooth-talking, big government socialists, corrupt crony capitalist bastard, progressives, Marxists, etc, and it makes no difference to us which party they belong to. And we're madder than hell and loaded for bear!!
This is OPEN REBELLION at the ballot box!!
TEA party hating elite establishment, Romney, Rove & Co., had best get used to it. Your any RINO but Obama gig is up!!
The TEA party is here to stay and we're NOT going to vote for your big government, TARP pushing, PORKULUS pushing, RomneyCare pushing, gun-grabbing, abortionist, gay-rights pushing, global warming advocating, mandate-loving, anti-Reagan, anti-liberty, socialist/progressive, flavor of the day RINO, the chief architect and advocate of ObamaCare, Mitt Romney!!
FUMR!! FUGOP!!
TEA partiers unite against Obama/Romney!!
The progressive GOP be damned!!
Long live the Republic!!
IF every conservative voted for the conservative candidate and the Independents did not, the conservatives lose!
The Dems and the conservatives don’t count..they cancel each other out..the determination of the winner is in the small sliver of Independents. If you can convince them great, if not, you lose.
Yes, and most especially, the horrendous "problem" of disagreeing with you. How dare she? How dare any of us disagree with an opinion of the "great" editor-surveyor?
Feh.
You know, it IS possible to disagree without resorting to insults. Verbally battering people about the head and shoulders will not change their minds, after all.
No thanks.
Well, I'm hardly a purist, and I wasn't attacking you. I commented to the three individuals (you were one) who seemed to be doing most of the mud-slinging. I didn't focus on any, certainly not one more than another.
I frequent the tech threads (Mac, Windows, Linux) and the amount of venom unleashed on those threads makes this one look tame by comparison. And that's just about some freaking computers, not the future of our Great Nation!
Yes, it's somewhat selective -- the Mods have their own opinions too, and I sometimes think they're playing favorites. But ultimately it's JimRob's living room that we're all arguing in, and IMO if we're going to argue here, we should do our best to abide by his house rules, even if they sometimes go against our own instinct or teaching.
I understand that your position may differ, and that is, of course, your right.
Good luck...
with all the people ready to let Obozo win to prove they are conservative, we will get Obozo all over again.
Oh God, here we go ...again...
His noise carries a bit more weight as governor...think TTC/Guardasil/benefits for illegals that not even AMERICAN residents of the other 49 states qualify for are more of a problem...need I go on?
Or his flat out lie about Al Gore’s eco radicalism to America when a 1 keyword search on Google turned up an early 80s video of Gore on PBS NOVA ranting like a ...Gore.
Noise like that concerns me far more than a ‘be nice’ statement.
>> “And your problem with this anecdote is what, exactly?” <<
.
She is a GOP insider/elitist, and a race baitor.
your the guy who can pull the 50%ers together and put MILLIONS of us encamped around our house!!!
Maybe Outlaw Woman is responding to the vitriol against posts that criticize her opinions...
Nothing is ‘seriously wrong” with her.
Be nice to Romney, but don't be nice to Perry. No agenda there!
Did abandoning your hippie ways make it easy for you to abandon new-found conservative principles as well? I don’t see your “Recovery” going very well.
Stand for something or nothing...pick one and go with it.
>> Suit yourself. Three years ago, I refused to vote for RINO McCain and raked over the coals around here for it.
That would have been in 2008. Your handle is circa 2009.
Hopefully when the next president gets in, NPR will be defunded.
Like I said, it’ll be interesting to see the reaction here should Romney become the GOP nominee.
For the record, I do believe we could win with a tea party challenge to the two party system with the right candidate. If the GOP establishment elites rule the day, how can any of us give them our vote? When do our “threats” to bolt actually become a promise? If ever there was a time to take on both parties, this is that election. If we don’t, nothing is going to change in Washington. The idea that replacing Obama with Romney is going to “save” the country is bogus. Both are poison to a Free Republic.
Agree 100% on the race baiting part. Other than that I think she (and a bunch of other FReeper females) supports Perry for the same reason so many women supported Clinton.
Just brilliant. so brilliant.
You are so boring.
When Rick gives me a reason to be nice, I will. When Rick gives conservatives a reason to be nice, they will.
I will vote for Herman Cain in a nanosecond against Obama.
I def will vote for any of the republicans against Obama, the only possible exception being Ron Paul because, well...
You played the race card; why not answer the lady’s reasonable request?
Yea well being right isn’t always exciting.
