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!!
Hell yes! I'm scared of Obama. You are not? You want another 4 years of bailouts and takeovers...Obamacare...insane spending...homo military...Fast and Furious?
I'll support anybody with an "R" because history shows in 95 out of 100 times they're better than a rat.
I have already explained on this thread that I don't love RINOs but when faced with a choice( a likely choice) of Romney or Obama that choice is crystal clear.
A lot of Freepers spouted off in 2008 and said NO WAY Jose McQueeg!!! Then a bunch of them voted for the sunbeyoch, and the others let Obama win by voting 3rd Party or not voting so they could brag about principles.
What if Conservatives had the power to pick the GOP nominee?
Sun Tsu - It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.I know the enemy...they're the rats. I don't know how weak the GOP is, even with Tea Party support. Losses by Hoffman NY-23, O'Donnell in CT, Angle in NV, and others leave me wondering how strong the GOP is with the voters. My vantage point from Wisconsin presented the loss of 2 GOP state senators recalled 2 months ago. They were fired for doing their job by the voters who put them in power 7 months earlier. I wish I could be all Rah Rah the GOP better do it my way like everybody else..
After rat President Truman served 2 terms, the GOP held the Presidency under Republican Eisenhower for 8 years, then 8 years under rats Kennedy and Johnson, then 8 Republican years under Nixon. Carter was exceptionally bad and only got 4 years but in 1984 the pattern continues with 8 years of Reagan/Bush, 8 years of Clinton, and 8 years of Bush 2.
After 8 years of Bush, it was a rat year and RINO McCain was likely our best candidate against the rats. Conservatives didn't pick a candidate. They just knew it couldn't be John McCain. "Any Body but McCain" they bellowed on this forum. They failed to unite behind one candidate before Super Tuesday. Christian conservatives voted for the Huckster. Foreign policy conservatives took Rudy. Sen Jim Demint endorsed Romney, and Fred Thompson got the economic conservatives. What has changed except the names? Trump, Bachman, Perry, now Cain is the flavor of the day? At this point in 2007 McCain was polling at 17%. Where is Romney at? What is the new conservative strategy? FUMR? FUGOP? Cut out the middleman and vote for Obama?
History says Romney will be the nominee and Obama will probably be reelected. If we wanna stop that we're gonna have to work smarter than 2008.
Hi ya my fellow Missourian!
Thank you FRiend. I mean that with all sincerity. Got pretty battered on here but hey...I guess that’s what FR is about. LOL Apparently though, even to Mr. Robinson I don’t quite make the cut.
Been meaning to respond to your notices on the state board. Particularly your comment: “WE have to win and it is do or die.” YES Ma’am. It is that serious isn’t it?
Lord help us.
(ummmm my cat just jumped into the window...he thought it was open yikes!..got to go! :) lol)
Been there too...LOL. Know that you are a savvy and intelligent woman that looks long and hard at the candidates and that is what matters. I don’t like the 9% sales tax but the other two 9’s are okay. Have not decided yet who I will vote for but I do not take my vote lightly either.
I know, we did that in 2008 too.
I have not hear of Stivers, and I doubt many in OH know of his perfidy, or was he liberal all along?
You believe Romney is one of the 95 out of a hundred that is better than a rat. I don't. I don't see much of a difference between him and Obama- except for the fact that Romney actually believes his own lies; like the fact that he doesn't believe in government run health care anymore.
You want another 4 years of bailouts and takeovers...Obamacare...insane spending...homo military...Fast and Furious?
Romney believes in all of that. Do you actually believe he has the guts to fix the unfunded liabilities in S.S. and Medicare? He's raking Perry over the coals right now for pointing out a simple fact: Social Security is a Ponzi scheme.
Romney is telling you to your face he is going to continue funding S.S. and Medicare in their current form. And you can't see that as out of control spending!
Romney just said he believes in bailouts in the last debate. He would just implement them differently. HA!
You actually believe Romney is going to overturn the overturn of don't as don't tell. What a joke!
Romney is also an amnesty guy, so we may not have fast and furious, but the cartels will continue to overrun the border with Romney in office!
Like I said, the fear of Obama has blinded you so much that you can't even see that Romney would double down on everything Obama has done.
And I feel likewise katie; you are savvy and extremely intelligent. Have enjoyed our interactions on our state board. Haven’t dropped in for a bit and need to do that. We’ve got some problems brewing with the healthcare vote from april...remember 71% :) Seems our lawmakers are trying to figure a way around that (Only read headline but saved the article)
Reading and watching the 999 plan to see how it shakes out because these things very seldom grow legs. It will be herculean task to reform the theft code, a.k.a. tax code, in this country.
See ya soon FRiend!
Kinder went after Nixon on that. It is to do with long care health and Missouris sources are not up to par. I sill don’t know where Cain stands on the military pensions..right now they are fixed and no colas in site
My thoughts on the 999 is it won’t get through the senate with a 2/3rds majority vote

I voted for my last rino in 2008. Who will I vote for if Romney gets the nomination? Well, it won’t be Romney and it won’t be obama. Probably do a “write-in” and let a bunch of progressive republicans tell me I helped re-elect obama. If that’s the case then I must have helped elect obama when I voted for McCain in 2008.
So, to all you progressives who tell me I MUST join you and vote for anyone with an “R” behind his name, I say you need to join us and elect a real conservative.
“You have GOT to be kidding.....Coherence..... Find some.....”
I’m not kidding, and you need to stop with the liberal “Oh it doesn’t matter where he goes to church” crap....It does matter.....All black church that praises Obama’s election and turns a deaf ear to the fact he is pro-abortion and everything else he stands for just because he is black.....All praying together at his election, church member getting an award for her “Why I admire Obama”....They refuse to look at the truth, and why would Cain find that as an acceptable place of worship if he is such a conservative?....He condones that hypocrisy?....And I’m supposed to trust him as my leader?....You sound like the media of 2008.....Go ahead and post another dumba@@ed reply....I won’t waste my time with you.....
Not a single one of your strung-together "phrases" makes sense — which was my point to you the first time. Literacy: try it.
Huh?? What history???
And, do you really believe we have a choice anymore? They are all 6 degrees of "political" separation.
Why do Republicans listen to Romney and not look what her has done?
Romney care was just as unconstitutional in Massachusetts as ObamaCarwe was in the US. 25% of Massachusetts hate RomneyCare, That's about the percent of Republicans in that state.
I will not vote for Romney, not because of his Religion but of his lack of character and his politics.
By the way all most all experts on Christians cults believe Mormonism is a cult.
And here is what bothers me a BIG BUNCH:
Of the current Crop, which candidate comes off as the smoothest and most polished, bringing to mind someone else in very recent history who showed the village idiots a similar front?
You got it - SLICK MITT, the establishment’s new John McLame, or Bob Bore.
They WILL NOT believe it until we hand them their heads by electing an outsider, not of THEIR choice, but OF OURS!!
Are We The People going to have another “Do You Hear Us Now” march on Washington, DC, on September 12, 2012?
I think a debate between Cain and Unable aka Obama would be the highlight of politics in this Century. And I pray for the day.
The TEA Party has to UNITE and we have to convince the Conservative Libertarians NOT to create a Third Party Candidate in Ron Paul and to convince their Liberal Libertarians of the same. And we must stop any RINO Candidate that the GOP wants to force on us too. We The People MUST NOT ALLOW THE MEDIA OR the GOP to choose our Candidate.
And that means FoxNews, too. They’re about as “Fair and Balanced” as MSNBC.
Let GOP Chair Reince Priebus know that the TEA Party is the future of the GOP.
No.
No, YOU and people without any principle to stand on can vote for him.
I’m not, Jim isn’t and most of FR will not either. Your Romney BS is just that BS. How many freaking times does JR have to tell you?
I smell ozone in your future. Plenty of Romney support sites out there.
