Mark Skoda, the organizer of the Tea Party Convention (seriously LOL), who heads the freedom fighter's group Ensuring Liberty Corp., said his group would stand out for it's transparency, though he would not name who would serve on it's board. LOL seriously folks...these people say one thing and then do another even before they wield any real power. Then you got former GOP House Speaker Tom Delay, proposing the Tea Party movement as standing for Small Government...WTH? HOW big did government grow under his leadership? These nickle and dime patriots are laughing all the way to the bank. gawd, I love American politics D.
Looks like the Tea Party is culling the herd. LOL I guess we know why most if not all the USMB Teabaggers were thrown out of the convention, eh?
The TEA Party is less a Party than an idea. Perhaps a collection of individuals with various ideas. That the TEA Party is attacked relentlessly and viciously is revealing more of the attackers fear of the "movement" than of the TEA Party folks themselves. Right now, there is a a mist of discontent in the country becuase people who want to work for a living cannot find a job. People who have strong feelings on independence and fairness see that the people who are leading them are completely out of touch with the pain in their lives. Kahlil Gibran once mused that all of value in our lives was born in the mist and not in the crystal and "Who knows but that a crystal is mist in decay". If the current major parties are the result of ideas that were born in the "mist", this anaolgy is pretty accurate. A couple questions: When asked who would be n the "Board", had the board been formed at that moment? What was the process to be used to form it and was it yet defined? Was it to be formed based on input from the convention attendees? Was Tom Delay a member of the TEA party when he served in the Congress? Is your satisfaction with the unemployment rate, the deficite, the debt, the lack of success in dealing with these things, the departure from campaign promises, the secrecy, the deal making, the deception and the deciet from the current bunch of ruling elitist thieves complete? If you are completely satisfied, then you're lucky; perhaps in a coma, but lucky. If you are not completely satisfied with any of these points, you might do well to consider the TEA party. At least they are trying to find solutions.
