We'll probably never see her/it again in this thread...not addressing the facts, anyway..
You haven't produced any. Half these clowns are on ignore. So, if you want me to respond to something then you will need to address me specifically.
You made ridiculous, uninformed comments about the tea party, so I posted the tea party platform...can you explain your opposition to the ideas in their platform?
Try not to evade, dodge or change the subject ....if you possibly can.
Sure, no problem. I'll hit it tonight.
Here's more on why you are a laughing stock:

Let's address one issue at a time before you start trying to change the subject to distract people.
Let's go over the reasons you disagree with the actual tea party platform (point by point ...not what you "think" or heard) first, ok?
Here let us go back to what I said:
Well, the Tea Party is ridiculed world wide and has aided and abetted to making the US the laughingstock of the world. This should not come as a surprise. He didn't attack the Tea Party. He made comparisons to the Tea Party.
Nothing in that is a lie. The Tea Party is ridiculed world wide and has aided and abetted to making the US the laughing stock of the world. Nothing in that is a lie. He didn't attack the Tea Party. He made comparisons to the Tea Party. Nothing in that is a lie. In fact, this right here is a comparison:
“You look at SNP, you look at (Nigel) Farage, you look at Marine Le Pen, you look at the right of Austria and Germany, you look at the Tea Party in America who have these powerful arguments that reach the erogenous zones of the public to whom they are talking and around which they can generate the mass movements that used to be generated for unity and they’re being generated for division.”
As far as being ridiculed world wide, you can see where that is in places like Germany and why. Note: Democrats have used that rather recently as well.
It was you that attempted to deflect from the article (which is in full campaign mode) and decided that you wanted to discuss the platform. So, we will be doing that my way Mr. Use-Any-Opportunity-to-Push-TP-Propaganda.
Platforms are meaningless drivel. Really. I feel the same way with all parties so don't feel like it's just the Tea Party. Tell me what you can do, tell me what you can't do, tell me what your limitations are, tell me what your obstacles are and if it is feasible to circumvent them. I have maintained this stance since I joined. The Tea Party is no different. All quite vague fluff. It's not necessary for us to go over each one line by line.
1. Eliminate Excessive Taxes - Excessively high taxes are a burden for those exercising their personal liberty to work hard and prosper as afforded by the Constitution. A fiscally responsible government protects the freedom of its citizens to enjoy the fruits of their own labor without interference from a government that has exceeded its necessary size, scope and reach into the lives of its citizens.
Note there is no definition of excessive taxes. There are cutesy propaganda phrases for feel good measures rendering it meaningless.
2. Eliminate the National Debt - By implementing fiscally conservative policies at all levels of government, progress can be made toward eliminating the U.S. National Debt. Massive increases in the National Debt have created and continue to create a huge burden for the next generation of Americans, thus imperiling the country’s short-term and long-term economic health and prosperity.
Do it for the children and shut down the government. This is how it translates into action.
3. Eliminate Deficit Spending - All deficit spending must be eliminated immediately. We insist that government representatives at all levels maintain a fiscally responsible budget and balance the books as would be expected of any American business.
See the above.
4. Protect Free Markets - America’s free enterprise system allows businesses to thrive as they compete in the open marketplace and strive toward ever better services and products. Allowing free markets to prosper unfettered by government interference is what propelled this country to greatness with an enduring belief in the industriousness and innovations of the populace.
The US has always had what is called a mixed economy. The free market is not free and has failed where and when implemented. Furthermore, what this translates into is continued deregulation.
5. Abide by the Constitution of the United States - The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land and must be adhered to without exception at all levels of government. This includes the Bill of Rights and other Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and their provisions designed to protect states’ rights and individual liberties.
This is another feel good propaganda message. It is all achieved via the Constitution rendering this meaningless.
6. Promote Civic Responsibility - Citizen involvement at the grassroots level allows the voice of the American people to be heard and directs the political behaviors of our representatives at both the local and national level so they, in turn, may be most effective in working to preserve the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of this country’s citizens.
Another meaningless point that essentially says nothing.
7. Reduce the Overall Size of Government - A bloated bureaucracy creates wasteful spending that plagues our government. Reducing the overall size, scope and reach of government at both local and national levels will help to eliminate inefficiencies that result in deficit spending which adds to our country’s debt.
This should have been included with the points above as it translates into deregulation, free market philosophy etc. Here is where that whole vague thing comes into play. Bloated, wasteful, and plagues are key propaganda words.
8. Believe in the People - The American people, given their guaranteed freedoms, will thrive in a democratic, capitalist environment which allows individuals to strive toward ever greater achievements, innovations and the efficient production of needed and valued goods and services.
Another meaningless point that essentially says nothing.
9. Avoid the Pitfalls of Politics - American politics is burdened by big money from lobbyists and special interests with an undue influence on the peoples’ representatives. The Tea Party movement is seen as a threat to the entrenched political parties and thus is the continual target of smear campaigns and misrepresentation of its ideals. We choose not to respond to these attacks except to strongly and explicitly disavow any and all hate speech, any and all violence as well as insinuations of violence, and any and all extreme and fringe elements that bring discredit to the Tea Party Movement. We are a peaceful movement and respect other's opinions and views even though they do not agree with our own. We stand by the Tea Party beliefs and goals and choose to focus our energies on ensuring that our government representatives do the same.
Sure thing. You can get back to me on this one:

10. Maintain Local Independence - The strength and resilience of a grassroots movement is the ability of citizens at the local level to determine their own platforms, agendas and priorities free of an overriding central leadership. Exercising the clearly stated message of the Tea Party movement by its nature involves discourse about which policies and candidates best hold to our stated principles, and these various opinions should flourish and evolve at the local level.
How this effects people is highly dependent on if you live in a decentralized state or centralized state. Otherwise, it should have been combined with the states right note above.
