To even associate themselves with the tea party our Founding Fathers had is an insult to American history.

The Corporate sponsors of the Tea Party are going to rake in the money. The smartest thing about the RW is how they spin their message to the ordinary people and then make them bend over without them noticing. But that is the purpose of good propaganda. It worked in Germany.
. BTW shouldn't the tea party leaders be screaming about what NAFTA and the 14 Bush unfair trade agreements have done to the ordinary people??? You won't hear that because they are all for unfair trade and screwing the working and middle class. They create these Orwelian words and saying to keep their uninforned and upset ordinary people in the total dark.No one supports big Corporations leaving Americans high and dry like the RW. It is where all their money comes from: ordinary people can't contribute huge amounts. So they support taking their jobs, while they support giving their "betters" free reign to outsource those jobs, and they support "competition"of American workers with China. lol
Haven't these American workers figured out what that means? Gee earn 25 cens an hour like the Chinese, but he CEO makes 100 million a year. lol
Its really sad. We can't undo NAFTA but the few things we could do to create jobs, like green technology, are being fought by the RW. We could have a monopoly on greeb technology in the USA. So why is the RW against this?
Because our corps want to build it in China and leave the good Americans out in the poor house. Oh, they can compete. 14 to 25 cents an hour. - 2 years ago

And the day shall come, when the people will rise up, with the guise of protecting a nation, faith and morals. But be not fooled,... for their motivation could very well be selfishness, the all-mighty dollar, and the sanctity of their superior race.

Don't forget that this is a counterfit tea party movement by Sarah Palin, who pretending to be a populist. This gives some good background on this fake tea party movement:
http://caivn.org/article/2010/02/04/sarah-palin-and-rand-paul-are-having-tea-par...
Then, in early 2009, a few weeks after Obama's inauguration, the Tea Party movement began to show its head, enflamed by the bailouts and record government spending. Little did many people realize, however, that the "Tea Party" concept originated in December 2007, when over 58,000 grassroots supporters donated a one-day record of $6 million to Dr. Paul's presidential campaign on the anniversary of the original 1773 Boston Tea Party.
But, as the Tea Party movement began to unfold, a troubling phenomenon started to emerge. Fox News, GOP elites, network personalities, and powerful special interests began to slowly, but insidiously take the reins. Seeing their opportunity, GOP strategists began to exploit the budding grassroots movement for their own political gain. Suddenly, the movement became obsessed with excorciating the Democrats and President Obama, when, in fact, the "shredding of the Consitution" by President Bush and a largely Republican Congress is what inspired the earliest tea party supporters in 2007 & 2008. As a result, disaffected Democrats and open-minded Independents strongly rejected the Tea Party's partisan invective.
Now, the Tea Party movement is battling for its soul. With $100,000 payments to Sarah Palin, $500 tickets to attend a "grassroots" convention, and Republican strategists such as Sal Russo pulling the strings behind the scenes, the Tea Party movement is fighting the onslaught of a full-fledged, GOP establishment hijacking.

Say what you want about the Obama administration, at least he's not an idiot. People are attracted to him for various reasons, not all of them admirable, but at least he knows what he's talking about.
Sarah Palin, on the other hand, is a moron. She's popular specifically because she's an anti-intellectual.

I just cannot wait to go. I have such a lovely hat to match my purse. And the purple chiffon dress from last years tea with Mrs. Cheney will look so nice and bring some spring to the air. i do hope she tells us stories of her adventures wrestling with polar bears and that story about the wolf who ran, so cute. I tell it at every tea but just don't do it justice. Its just too bad she has to speak about the economy and all that rubbish. THey don't have to remind me how bad things are just the other week they denied my Alfred a gold American Express card just because he is 14 years. Well toodles for now I have to talk to the maid about her being late with breakfast again. And with the wages I pay.

And we won't have to talk too much detail about all that economy stuff, because common sense solutions will take care of all that, and real soon. That's just common sense, and we know what common sense is, because we are not the elite, selected few.Were what makes Amerika a great country -- That's just common sense now, You betcha!

There you go again desertcat with your liberal elitism making fun o' us hard working 'Mericans! And I'm not talking about those werido San Fransico people neither with their pagan gods and having sex with animals and all that hooey. I'm talkin' bout the pro-America parts of, er, uh, America! The Joe the Plumbers and the Sally Wal-marts and Bob's Big Boy. The ordinary regular 'Mericans that have the common sense to look at Barack Obama and say, "That feller looks like he's from Africa!

Hey Crob: Doing anything next weekend. I am having the girls over for tea and sandwiches and the lawn needs to be mowed. Use to have a African American do the lawn work but nobody does the job like a Mexican. Just one other thing, if you do not have a green card please keep your mouth shut so no one hears you talking. Got to maintain the integrity of the neighborhood.
