Who Would Have Thought, Tea Party Folks Don't Back Republicans

We’re not a partisan organization, and I think many Republicans are disappointed we are not,” added Armey, a former GOP congressman

Pretty funny stuff. The Political Party-Bots just can't wrap their brains around the idea that opposing oppressive Socialist/Communist agendas truly does encompass both parties. It's actually kind of fun watching them spin their wheels on this stuff. I'll just say it again...No one ever said that Socialists are only and always Democrats. Hmm?

Tea partiers turn on GOP leadership

While the energy of the anti-tax and anti-Big Government tea party movement may yet haunt Democrats in 2010, the first order of business appears to be remaking the Republican Party.

Whether it’s the loose confederation of Washington-oriented groups that have played an organizational role or the state-level activists who are channeling grass-roots anger into action back home, tea party forces are confronting the Republican establishment by backing insurgent conservatives and generating their own candidates — even if it means taking on GOP incumbents.

“We will be a headache for anyone who believes the Constitution of the United States … isn’t to be protected,” said Dick Armey, chairman of the anti-tax and limited government advocacy group FreedomWorks, which helped plan and promote the tea parties, town hall protests and the September ‘Taxpayer March’ in Washington. “If you can’t take it seriously, we will look for places of other employment for you.”

“We’re not a partisan organization, and I think many Republicans are disappointed we are not,” added Armey, a former GOP congressman...

Thats a point they have been trying to get across from day one. These aren't politicians they are Ameican people who are worried about their futures and the futures of their children. They are for what the Republican party is "supposed" to be, not what it has become.

Bush was the farthest to the Left Conservatives went as a compromise. He is not Conservative on core issues like border control, immigration control, New World Order. NAFTA.

 

[ihopehefails]

I have adopted a "make them work" for our votes. The republican party has ignored its conservative base and we have rightfully abandon them and unless I hear of something I like I won't vote for them.

So if you are a member of the RNC and are reading this you should tell your hire-ups this that we won't vote for you unless you reduce taxes substantially and fix the deficit IMMEDIATLY.

That doesn't surprise me at all. The Tea Parties were not driven by people who were unhappy that Democrats beat the pants off Republicans in the last election and wanted to publicly complain about it for some weird reason. Those were not partisan driven demonstrations and the people IN them were people who don't normally demonstrate about anything -regardless of the issue. All you had to do was LOOK at these people to realize that. So those politicians who decided to insult them may well end up paying for it. I hope so.

These are people angry at their own government and their anger includes Republicans in government. At some of these Tea Parties, a couple of Republican Congressmen tried to use the demonstration to further their own careers and were booed while speaking. Because these people weren't there to demonstrate in favor of particular people or candidates, the RNC or to further the RNC agenda in any way. They were there to make sure their government -Congress and the White House - knew they were PISSED OFF about the direction they were going and have had enough of it. And neither Democrats nor Republicans have clean hands in that regard.

Calvin Coolidge.

Good enough, you'll get rep from me for answering somewhat correctly. I was thinking Eisenhower.

nope...foreign entanglements.....

 

[Diuretic]

This is good news for the GOP. As the county chairman recently said, "We need to get the freaks out of the party." She's right, and that is exactly what will happen.

This will give the freaks the opportunity to create their own Freak Party.

Good luck to them.

There were even registered Democrats in those rallies as well. I think the majority of Americans were upset at Bush's fiscal policies and this in turn caused the swing voters to turn to the only other option. Now that they see that Obama is, in fact, a tax and spend liberal on anabolic steroids they will make their voices heard in 2010.

Again, will you people stop calling him a Liberal. I should seriously get a giant poster and stick it to the wall of every thread so that ignorant lie will end.

It is not a lie. He espouses liberalism. It may not be your type of liberalism, but it is progressive liberalism just the same.

Very shortly, if not right now, Obama will get flogged by the progressive left as a "pragmatist".

Tea Partiers--ARE CONSERVATIVES--Period. That means we will vote for CONSERVATIVES--be them blue dog democrats or Republicans.

We don't want "moderate or left leaning Republicans."

It's not that Conservatives left that big tent--in fact 60% of the American public believe themselves to be conservative. The problem is that Republicans left that big tent.

To win--Republicans need to get back to their conservative base. If they don't--the Republican party will continue to lose elections.

I attended a local tea party this last weekend, these people are FISCAL conservatives and they will vote for FISCAL CONSERVATIVES. The repubs acted like liberal democrats for the last several years and that is exactly why they lost the house and the senate. The tea party I attended was full of conservative DEMOCRATS AND INDEPENDENTS. Keep in mind that the democrat party was hijacked by a minority of liberal democrats and you will see the conservative and moderate democrats vote conservative in the next election.

Because they are scared to death of this grass roots movement and they have publicly been cheerleaders for an extremely liberal tax and spend agenda.

Apparently the tea partites are a much bigger threat to the GOP right now. They are not threatening to splinter support away from the Democratic Party.

This is surprising to me in that I always assumed that the Democratic Party - being the more diverse of the two main parties - would be the first to crack and splinter. It still remains to be seen if this fracture will really happen, but it is interesting.
