RE :”Perot, back in 1992, was on an anti-Big Government, government involvement, government getting too big campaign, and he did attract millions of people, and the Republican Party establishment absolutely hated it, despised it, and they equate the Tea Party today with that, at least this guy”

Oh Rush, Rush..,. you didn't like him either,
You used to ridicule him.

Others may not remember but I do.

Unfortunately, the Republicans (and Democrats) are tied to the money shakers and that is the money interests! When you look at this as it is, you begin to understand just why they hate the Tea Party (and their policies)!

We are against big government, big spending, and the supporters are trying their best to get money out of Washington. They are also the big providers of money to campaigns - so who are you going to cater to?

We don’t have government by the people, we have government by the most generous money folks. Do you really think that policy is going to out-do money donated to these politicians? Dream On!! The Tea Party lives for policy but can not control politicians that decide that money for their re-election is king. Not sure that it can every change.

America has become just another corrupt semi-democracy and will never regain their full status until money is taken out of the election system.

They're nothing but anti-government, anti- this, a bunch of Ross Perot types.

I have said it here before, Rick Santelli didn't start the Tea-Party Perot did. It is the same force, common sense people who are pissed off by liars that don't see the train wreck about to happen and they are the engineer driving!

I knew a lot of middle manager tech-types in that time frame that pulled the lever for Perot, Engineers, Draftsman too, no BS types, they felt the other two didn't represent them, it was a protest vote.

The difference this time is it is organic, of the individual, without looking @ a titular head that is a hand grenade with a bad haircut, this time they did themselves.

And that drives them even more nuts, we are one, made from many, but each of us is so unique and we refused to give it up or let someone like "Ross" do it or speak for us. We are so cantankerous we don't get along sometimes with our Tea Party mates, and that is a good thing!

Surprised the IRS isn’t mentioned here also. They still have the Tea Party strangled without tax exemptions and the Zippy regime isn’t about to change that.

You're the kooks and oddballs and you represent a bigger threat to the Republican Party, they think, than the Democrats do.

The Establishment Republicans are correct. The TEA Party is a bigger threat to them than to the Democrats.

And vice versa.
