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!!
Just like a marxist commie you run to Romney because Obama scares you. The Obama folks run to him because conservatives scare them.
When the fear of loss pushes you toward a politician for relief you've lost your liberty. But liberty and freedom mean nothing to you because you live in the real world with kids and a mortgage.
Good luck with that.
I am not ashamed of being the same person on Free Republic that I am when I wake up every morning.
The only point I wanted to make is that I disagree with your opinion of Herman Cain. I don’t race is an issue with him. He gave a lot of non black people jobs.
I don’t want Romney to get the nomination but if he does get the nomination, we all need to work to get him elected. Another four years of Obama will be the end of this nation.
Romney and 0bama are both lying leftist sleazeballs. Romney would be worse because he would be “our” ie Republican leftist sleazeball. Work to get him elected? Don’t make me sick.
I agree wholeheartedly Jim!!!
“Whenever a Republican leaves one side of the aisle and goes to the other,it raises the intelligence quotient of both parties.” Clare Boothe Luce
You claim to be pro this, and pro that...but the way I see it is...you are a woman that's in the squishy middle...but claims to be otherwise.
WHY IN THE HELL DO YOU KEEP COMPROMISING these things you call YOUR PRINCIPLES!!!!??!!??
You APPARENTLY aren't all THAT principled....now are ya!?!?!
My main issue with him is his Gore lie and I’ll tell you why that is so important. I spent years writing on landuse/eco stuff and am more familiar with Gore’s radicalism than many. In and of itself Perry’s lie is basically meaningless in the big scheme of things, true. But it speaks to his mindset. A single search on Google was all it took to blow his claim away.
But the thing is that he had to know that would come up. He had to know that his claim was easily disproven AND HE DID IT ANYWAY! So is he just comfortable lying to Americans or does he hold us in contempt and just not care?
Then there are the other issues that feed into that mindset. Guardasil...ignored complaints until forced, then bitched about the Legislature fighting him. Border...ignores the will of many Americans on the fence. Tuition/illegal mess... supports it.
And on and on. So to me, his record easily shows HE just does what HE wants and just not care what WE think. Time and time again. Yes he is great on EPA/Drilling stuff and other things. Not enough for me to forget his bad points.
Mu opinion and observations FWIW.
How do you think there is a 30% chance Romney won’t screw you??? That’s not reasonable at all.
I can't recall the last time I encountered such an ill-informed FReeper.
Sounds like you may have a memory problem in addition to your other critical thinking dysfunction.
There is no point in refuting...oh wait that’s your line. Keep ‘em coming speaks-for-itself-guy
I voted for Romney in my primary back in '08...because I hated McLame..and I knew McLame was going to win..and then LOSE to ODumber.( I marked the freaking ballot for McLame...in the general..)
The jig was up...by the time Oklahoma got to vote in the Primary.
I fear the same thing once again.
I frankly agree with Mark Steyn...and his book "After America" is a wake up call...to any American that can think their way out of a Walmart bag.
NICE catch!!
*Snicker*
Ill-informed, Romney-loving and pissing off the boss, all on one thread.
IBTZ.
Funny that a person advocating the election of a man who runs counter to all conservative principle, thought and deed should comment on the critical thinking skills of another.
Someone who would openly defy/argue the Boss on a thread he penned clearly pointing out how FR would in no way back Romney for President...by advocating backing Romney for President... has to be the polar opposite of a critical thinker.
Oh the Irony...
If OWS accomplishes what it sets out to do, and Obama is voted in for another 4 years, the USA will be adding another “S” to its name. United Socialist States of America. Let’s not let this happen.
You make some compelling points.
“I fear the same thing once again.”
There is good reason for that fear....it very well could happen.
And THEN, God only knows.
Obama scares marxist commies???
This ProLife ProGun ProGod ProSoldier ProBusiness marxist commie is rooting for Perry, but I'll vote for whoever the GOP puts up, just like a marxist commie. Hence the tagline.
When the fear of loss pushes you toward a politician for relief you've lost your liberty.
You don't get it. You are not free. Our Declaration of Independence states we have a right to life, but if a mother thinks her baby may cramp her style she can abort the child before he is born. 50% of America is dependent on the government for subsistence and they vote to keep it that way. Where is the constitutional authority for Obama to take 30-40% of my income to give away to his union cronies? That is the real world. You are enslaved and elections pick your slave master.
"They say if you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. But if you teach a man to fish...then he has to get a fishing license. But he doesn't have any money, so he has to get a job and enter the social security system. And he has to file taxes, and you're gonna audit the poor son of a bitch because he's not really good at math. You pull the IRS van up to his house and take everything. You take his velvet Elvis and his toothbrush and it all goes up for auction with the burden of proof on him because he forgot to carry the license. All because he wanted to eat a fish, and he couldn't even cook the fish because you need a permit for an open flame. And then the health department is gonna wanna ask him a bunch of questions about where he's going to dispose of the scales and the guts." - Doug Stanhope
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis4 more years of Obama will be much worse than Romney. Romney, or Obama could be the choice voters thrust upon us. You don't have to worry about it cause you'll be able to say "I threw my vote away and voted for a 3rd party. I'm not culpable for everybody getting screwed by Obama for 4 more years."
I did. Conclusion: you're racist as well.
Which fits with the other two character traits.
“I like Cain being in the race. He exposes the absurdity of the Dem & Leftist race baiters.”
Sadly, he’s bringing them out on our side also. Thank heavens it a few individuals, and not a party platform for us.
“Judge not a man by the color of his skin, lest ye be judged to be lacking in the content of your character.”
From the yet to be published, “rikkir book of wisdom”. LOL!
I can't stop it.......
