Tea Pary = Republican marketing plan set up by Republican insiders for the politically naive.
 
The fact that they hired Palin, another big government mouthpiece that is truly one of the worst things to happen to the Conservative movement, is enough for me to say okay, they ARE just another wing of the Republican imperial machine, and they're just another bunch of lemmings. Goddamit. They could have made chicken salad, instead, they made chicken shit.

Where are the real conservatives? The fiscal conservatives? Where the fuck are they?
 
Thats just lip service to get elected, noone is a fiscal conservative.
 
Funny how Scott Brown and Sarah Palin both claim to be "tea party" when they are about as politically opposit as can be.

no one knows, they were seen last in a some glitzy bar getting free drinks

what i don't like is how dems hold their nose in the air from their false moral highground about repubs and corps....unions are as powerful, if not more powerful, than corporations when it comes to influencing politics.

with the recent scotus decision, my question has been...ok, if no corps can buy political ads (to those who oppose the ruling), then no other organization, including the dem or repub party, can buy political ads. of course this seems ideal, however, what if you get a candidate like obama verses mccain? 700 million to 90 million.....then money once again buys elections.

not to mention, it chills speech. it stops groups from forming, to pool their money and voice their opinion.

Well then, don't become a cog in the wheel. Yeah, Unions have been purchasing votes in the congress as long as big pharm, banking, auto, Chem..... This "Tea Party" movement has gone from grass roots to Elephant roots in a matter of months. They don't impress me. They hired Palin for a lot of money to be their mouthpiece in an effort to galvanized the idiot wing of the Republican party, and that's NOT, what they proported to be about.

Are they fiscal conservatives or not? Palin? Fiscal Conservatism and global intervention cannot be aligned no matter how hard the Republicans try. And I'm surprised that the movement has come this far before opening up their trenchcoat and showing the world what they really are.

Dammit. They had a chance. This is the death knell. Mark my words.

It is one of the common traits between the two parties and is very much one ideology. Its just a matter of who argues against the flavor of the day. Global interventionism is something that Wilson introduced us to, all the while claiming he was isolationary or non-interventionist. But since WWI the US has veen involved in nearly constant military conflict, wheter through use of weapons or threat of weapons. The US has had dozens of "conflicts" (I prefer to call them Wars out of respect for those Americans that were getting shot at and firing back in foreign countries) since the end of WWII. We have troops today, TODAY in over 130 countries, we sanction countries that don't follow our lead and we impose leaders on countries that have diametrically different cultures than out own, IE Iraq and Afghnistan.

One of the most intrinsic problems we have as a country is that the public is content with their lcd tvs, their big SUVs, and they've turned a blind eye to what our government is doing to the rest of the world. Complacency will be the death of the complacent.

According to something I read a while ago, complacency is one of the final stages of democracy. If we value what we have we'd better shape up.

I think it is not only one of, but THE final stage. Interesting words, "shape up". A symptom of our demise is that we've become fat and happy. We've become consumers rather than producers. We've decided that the government will solve all problems. We've decided that our money is a good vehicle for living like we do, right now. We've stopped worrying about future generations. And guess what, we're not the first, second, third, fourth or fiftieth to do this. Hundreds of cultures and governments have done this before.

The two greatest, most powerful corporations of all time have spun out rational thinking, and they're both in it together. The Republicans and the Democrats. Now you have this Tea Party, and they pay a Republican VP candidate to speak for them? Complacency at its finest.

This statement appears to be 200% correct. With Sarah Palin the accepted 'president' of the TEA party movement, the ruse was discovered yesterday after Palin endorsed Rick Perry for Texas Governor.

America is doomed as we slide in to total economic chaos where the class wars will finally end as we will have no choice to accept the 'elites' rule over the commoners.
 
This isn't about money; this isn't about a title. I will live, I will die for the people of America. Whatever I can do to help. This movement is the future of politics in America.

Put your faith in ideas. I caution against allowing this movement to be defined by one leader or operation. This is about the people.
