Those are myths made up by Liberals. (Stop the hate, Libs)
If you'd like to see the Platform of the Tea Party, you can go to any of their sites (or remain ignorant).
Basically,
- fiscal responsibility
- less bureaucratic, less obtrusive government
- stop wasteful spending
- adherence to the rule of law (Constitution)
- balancing the budget
- less government interference in the 'free' market
And for this platform, you demonize a grassroots movement?
This is why I believe you almost have to be evil or woefully ignorant to be a Liberal.
I don't care if Tea Party members are creatures from another galaxy.
Their political platform is all-American.

But then I'm not in the Tea Party either.
but maybe not.
1. True. 2. Possible. it'll certainly have an impact.3.) the mores of the 60s spilling into the 70s sure added to it. 4.) absolutely true. 5.) wrong. 6.) what does belief have to do with anything? either the hypothesis of AGW is correct or it isn't. 7.) in small amounts, its necessary for life. in high amounts its toxic to aerobic life. but so is oxygen, in certain applications. is there a point? 8.) i wouldn't use Bachman as a resource for anything. i don't know if you noticed, but she dropped out of the race for Prez some time ago? 9.) i think its arrogant to be arrogant. how in the world do you get education into it? 10.) engineering failures are going to happen. i don't know if you know this but Perry dropped out of the race for Prez some time ago... 11.) what's across the river from Juarez? anybody dying there? i don't know if you know this but Perry dropped out of the race for Prez some time ago... 12.) what does Sarah Palin have to do with anything? this isn't 2008.
how does this relate to anything about the Tea Party? i'm still waiting for one of you whining libs to explain to me how fiscal sanity is a bad thing? how expecting adherence to the Constitution, no more no less, is a bad thing?
the Tea Party has no leadership. those that say they are TP leaders or those that claim to be Tea Party candidates are posers.
The Tea Party was grass roots until certain individuals co opted the name "Tea Party' for their own use.
the Tea Party's sole existence is predicated on spending control and adherence TO the Constitution. that's it. if those things ever came about, i imagine, you'd never hear about a Tea Party...
If it were comical, i'd be laughing. there was nothing funny about it. its becoming a more obvious desperate attempt to paint those that don't agree with the current liberal democrat wing of the democrat party as enemies. even worse, stupid enemies. ignorant enemies...
here in NH, a guy with a gun permit brought his weapon to a Hillary event.
he did nothing wrong.
what's the problem? (shrug) propose that gun owners meet every 6AM. that's a great idea.
liberties? we've owned guns since before the Constitution was written. what needs to be changed? if anything, it seems the 'left wingers' want/need to see guns controlled.
why is it now suddenly a critical issue? if anything, its less so than, say, in the 60s, when we had politicians getting knocked off almost regularly.
some states think that a high level of 'regulation' is important, others don't. why is it suddenly critical to opt to more 'regulation?'
for the record, i'm no gun nut. i just don't see what the big deal is. i respect weapons. i'm just not afraid of them.
