Tea party leaders announce new federation

OK...let me try:
"we want to have government more involved in your decision making as we do not see you as capable of making the right decisions. WHO says this? And when? And concerning what?

People did not read contracts for credit cards and they got hurt by their irresponsibility, so government mandated the card companies to change contracts and policies.

And we would like those that DO know how to make smart decisions to bear the financial burden of government making those decisions for you; I disagree. What specifically, are you referring to here?

Those that paid their credit cards, were hit with rate increases to make up for the losses card companies were forced to take.

and we do not want you to thank them. We want you to credit us as we are your saviors I cannot see through the thick sarcasm on this one to even attempt to know what you might be referring to here?

I have yet to hear the administration say to he American people that we should be thankful to that 5% that is bearing the increases. They have been labelled as the "wealthiest" and "unpatriotic" if they are against tax increases. And guess what. Many of us are NOT against the tax increase to help others out. The word greedy has been applied to them more often than I can count. However, I have heard mny on the hill talk about how hard they are workingt to give the people a better quality of life. They have praised each other; they have praised thei hard work; they have taken the credit.

You need to see it from the other side.

And yes, I can state fact to refute all I say as well. But not everyone has an open mind. Most dont. Our politicans should know this.

I will wholeheatedly agree with you that not enough (if any) credit has been given to the wealthier Americans who end up paying the most in taxes to support the programs that the less fortunate benefit from. HOWEVER, I do not recall Bush or anyone from the GOP praising those same wealthy Americans for financially supporting our invasion of Iraq. DO you hold them accountable as well?
 
The best part will come only if this "federation" runs their own candidate in each and every midterm election. It will promise Democratic victories.

It's obvious you know nothing about the tea party movement.

Please tell us. We are still in the dark about what the Tea Party movement is about!!

Low taxes--we cut taxes
The Deficit--That has existed since Bush took office! They were not complaining then

The enormous debt? That was the direction that Bush took us in as well

I know--the extra large deficit that occured in 2009--due primarily to the economic meltdown. What do they think we should do, cut taxes and wait until the Banks collapse due to their financial commitments?

I am still wondering about why they are still running around. It is as if they are trying to rally the right for a big showdown in the next election.

How much do you want to bet that if the Republicans can't win 50% of the seats that are up, the Tea party is going to disappear?

Limited government.

Fiscal restraint.

Personal responsibility.

Lower taxes.

State's rights.

National Security.
 
It's a smart move. I wish they would form a Third Party though. It has become pretty obvious that you can't trust either of the two parties at this point. One is full of Socialist nutters and the other one doesn't know what it wants to be. A viable Third Party could be just what this country needs at this point.

I have differeing views than you on the Iraq conflict perhaps, but that is not becuase I supported President Bush. I supported Mr. Bush as much as I support Mr. Obama. They are/were my President and they are/were my CiC. Find me a single NON AMERICAN that insults either one of them, and I will be in their face. So from here on in, please do not play that "what about Bush" game with me. Mr. Bush has done many things I appreciate and many things I disagreed with. Mr. Clinton did MORE that I appreciate and MORE thast I disagreed with. Mr Obama? Well, as I said, he is my President and my CiC. I respect him wholeheartedly as such.

I do not lok at the past to evaluate the performance of the present. Both men are two different people from different backgrounds and different ideologies. To compare how they handle things is foolish.

That being said, I ALSO do not recall Mr. Bush saying negative things about the less fortunate NOT paying for the war.

But I believe you saw my point.

Make me pay for those that are less fortunate through taxes? Go for it. but do not call me greedy and unpatriotic and stop crediting each other for donating MY money that I would have donated anyway.

I wonder how much resistance Mr. Obama would have if he made it quite clear to ALL that it is not Obama Money.

How would this sound?

"We should all thank those that have acheived great success as they are now giving back to America, when we need it the most"

Mr. Obama is a great public speaker. He has great speech writers. He needs to change his theme.
 
Most common sense thinking Americans consider the Tea Partiers to be far more competent & trustworthy than this current Dem-led Congress. That's what most polls are showing anyway. So I can see why the Socialists/Democrats are getting so hysterical about them. The Tea Partiers have to be doing something right. This Federation idea is a good one.
 
The Tea Party is built on emotion not substance.

The best thing for moderates and liberals is to let them run their course.

They will have affects on the 2010 elections to the favor of their candidates but the American public is not so dumb to not see who they are when given the light of day long enough.

That will position the Democrats in a strong position in 2012.

I am a moderate and do not like the far left wackos or the far right wackos. But the right wing wackos are on the verge of going over the edge.

That is how I see it.

We differ on our OPINIONS as yours AND mine are opinons, not fact.
 
Memphis Tea Party founder Mark Skoda said recent media coverage had questioned whether the conservative tea parties, which number in the thousands nationwide, were too loosely organized to be politically effective in the national midterm election. He said the federation intends to convey a unified message about the tea party's brand of fiscal conservatism, which emphasizes limited government, less public spending and free markets.

Tea Baggers: The gift that keeps on giving......to the Democrats.

Just wait Ya Yank, the tea party is growing in numbers, we are having a tax day tea party here as well as around the country on April 15th. We expect the number attending to be in the thousands just in our community.


This quote represents the liberals in their reaction to the tea party, and how true it is. :lol::lol: Quite fitting.:lol::lol:

" First they ignore you, then they make fun of you, then they fight you, then you win." Gandi The tea party is winning.:lol:

I will agree with you on that.

Time will tell whose opinion is correct.
 
Most local Tea Parties are citizens groups who advocate for issues or support major party candidates - from what I have seen to date, most of the effort is to hold government accountable, not to BE the government. That can change - and if it does, I don't see it helping the Dems. Only 20% of the country self-identifies as liberals. Many Dems will be happy to see a fiscally conservative alternative without all of the gay and abortion baggage.

So is it fair to put you in the category of wanting the Tea Party to just be a wing of the GOP?

Actually- it's the tea party that is taking back the GOP. I am a delegate at the local and state levels, we have infiltrated the GOP through our local political caucuses and we are taking charge. In my state, we are determined to only elect fiscal conservatives to the ballot. This has happened all over the country, we are not just protesters- we are actively involved in determining who will be on the ballots, nation wide. No more Dee Dee Desofava's- Republican in name only on the ballots.

Something you have not yet heard from your liberal media rants.

No more John McCain's? Is that what you meant to say?

Do you know who Debbie Medina is, btw?

I was curious about that 20%, so I checked. And I found it. It's from 2009. Other polls from 2009 list self identifying conservatives at 20%. So, the polls are all over the place on this one.

Besides, the only poll that really matters will be held in November. We'll see who the people will 'self identify' with then.
