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!!
Wow, this thread is in shambles!
I see good friends getting it wrong about other good friends, and it hurts me to see such good friends assigning bad motives to other good friends when I know that’s flat out false!
I don’t know Eleutheria5, but his or her remarks about Jim leave me void. I’d say it’s time for Eleutheria5 to move on! We get it. No respect for Jim = complete disgust for Eleutheria5!
Sarah Palin didn’t run. She would have been the answer for many of us. We need to calm down and let the process work itself forward.
The candidates have thicker skins than their supporters here! Too many here think you have been victims of supporters of another candidate but that works both ways!
Get mad at me, if you must! I am not speaking only to my pals I have pinged.
I can’t say this enough. Stop making it personal.
I personally met and got to speak with Herman Cain, Speaker Newt, Michele Bachman, Rick Perry and Romney.
All are flawed, but all of the first four are a whole lot better than the Marxist!
WoW-ee, let’s say I invite you over to my house to talk. While we’re talking, I fart right in your face. It’s my house, and I can do what I want in it, I tell you, or in your case, one of my sycophants tells you so. That happens to be true. But as a host, I also have a duty to be polite and hospitable to guests. A guest can simply get up and leave in response to deliberate rudeness. But he can also tell his host, “I beg your pardon, sir. But I find your act of farting in my face offensive,” and continue the conversation. If the sycophant breaks in and tells him to show more respect to the host, calls him shameless, he can answer that with one finger, and still not have committed any disrespect against the host. As I’ve said, run along.
I’m done talking about this. Let’s talk about something interesting.
You know, I’ve got some writing I’m procrastinating for which I will get paid when finished. The deadline is midnight tonight. But I’m stuck for an opening sentence, having already done the research. So I come here and post around a bit, and when I turn back to the assignment, the words come to me. It’s a great way to jog the muse into productivity. So thank you for this exchange. It’s worth a few bucks to me.
One facet of respect is taking the person you respect seriously and assuming he’s an adult. Jim is a big boy. His ego isn’t half as brittle as you think. He’ll get over my criticism if he’s any sort of man.
Enough needless hostility. Let’s just agree that Obama, Romney, Ron Paul, Islamofascists and libtards suck and get on with our respective lives.
Well, here’s your problem. I don’t care what you think about my opinion. I say it ‘cause I say it, ‘cause I do. You obviously care a good deal more than you should, but it’s not my hang-up. Read Onyx’s post. Let’s just stop this. Please.
None of us wants or needs your approbation. But FReepers WILL demand manners and decency. You appear to have none.
Bear in mind that many businesses will post a sign saying, We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. The implication is that they also reserve the right to escort anyone to the door as well as refuse the service. Rowdy guests/customers could well find themselves on the sidewalk. None of the signs say a thing about “fair.” I don’t see much difference between those, and Jim’s management of Free Republic.
Thank you, Onyx.
Whoa. I have some catching up to do.
Well, then I rest my case. If Jim wants to show me to the door, that’s his prerogative. He hasn’t. I’ve been in much worse tiffs than this on Freep and he didn’t then, either. In fact, I haven’t even been rowdy. So enough about what I should or shouldn’t be saying about Jim’s management.
Why are you asking me?
Well, Recovering Ex-hippie, if people aren’t speaking out and asking questions of the presidential candidates, actually VETTING these candidates, they have failed to learn anything from the last presidential election...you know, the election of that bozo in the White House.

“Youre welcoming to a forum in which Ive actively participated for years.”
Yes.
Because you have no idea how private property or this forum works.
Again, welcome to a conservative forum that is privately owned.
The owner came decide who and what he wants on his site.
You are one rude, ungrateful jerk. If you disagree so much with Jim’s policies regarding his own property, why don’t you take a hike?
Your grasp of reality is tenuous, at best.
Your prejudice is shining through...again.
I posted a link earlier in the thread that shows a video with Cain saying that it's to early to decide if he would except a VP nod from Mitt. Can you post a link that contradicts that, that supports your statement.
Perry has never attack Cain. Cain has praised Mitt not Perry. Mitt has praised Cain. See a pattern? I do.
Cain has attacked Romney on numerous occasions. I document Cain's attacks on Romney Here.
If one is going to look for patterns one should objectively look for all relevant evidence.
Is that so?
Not that it will effect me one iota, nor diminish my participation, but it certainly effects my respect for His Lardship in future dealings.

I rest my case.
