The good thing Zeb is that they are attacking the Tea party which means we are a viable and real threat and growing daily my friend. We shall not form another party but slowly get rid of the RINOS like McCain. They are scared and it is starting to show hopefully the American folk will wake up.[/quote]
And that’s exactly what I like about the Tea Party!
A couple of things; first it was insane for anyone to even try to implicate the Tea Party in this financial mess. When in fact they are for the exact opposite of what’s going on.
Secondly, while many main stream republicans are not fond of the Tea Party please don’t lump them with Obamawitz. I assure you that Boehner cannot stomach Obama in any way.[/quote]
not to suggest that boehner is an obamamite, i do think boehner is using this to marginalize the tea party.[/quote]
Boehner is not a small government or fiscal conservative politician. He is a big government boy too.

Very few are true small gov’t politicians. Most are for big gov’t despite what they say. Votes speak louder than words.

Yes: Palin and Bachmann too, that hasn’t stopped them from becoming the poster children for the Tea Party. Because the Tea Party is really just about being angry and irrationally anti-Obama (and pretending to be anti-establishment).

Yup, and there are a lot of people eating it up. Unfortunately most people see sound bytes but never look into the people who make them.

I there is a disconnect, I think there are alot of people, not politicians that are genuine, and that many of the politicians are playing to that in public view and then just keep with the same old crap.
I am not anti-obama per se, but I am for smaller government, and decreased welfare state and police mentality. He just happens to be strongly for everything I am strongly against.
But I don’t really see many politicians that fit that bill, because you have to sell the people’s freedom and your soul in order to make it in politics.
I think that is why many of the founders made statements that we basically need a militia based revolution every 30 yrs or so. To remind those in government who is in control.
I think without those smaller uprisings you end up with situations like the civil war.

so my the contractor, sean, thats installing my air conditioner mentioned he was a tea party member today. so i slugged him in the gut and blamed and yelled at him for the S&P Tea Party downgrade. After all it was his fault, and not all the people that can actually vote on this stuff in congress.

The really funny part is that Obama had both houses of Congress DEMOCRAT for two full years. And did he try to improve the economy? Noooooooo…instead he crammed health care down our throats.
Isn’t he a great leader?[/quote]
its really pretty ridiculous. I think the established repubs and dems line of thinking was something like this: calling the tea party racists didnt work, so lets blame a financial crisis that we all have our hands in and has been years in the making on them. Yeah, that should stick.
then reid, boehner and obama do a pinky swear and cross their hearts in the triangle room (which is just above the oval office, and just below square room) to carry out the plan.

Excuse me, did you just describe the R roster this time as “deeper talent”?

My spider sense tells me that the GOP wasn’t overly upset about losing in '08. I really doubt that thought McCain was going to win. I think they knew the economy was about to take a total shit, so why not let the Dems run with it and blame it on them ? I don’t think Obama is purely at fault, but his policies are not helping for shit.
Again; something we’ve talked a LOT about on “PWI” before…the Election Process is probably one of the most brutal things one can go through. And while it can bring out the strengths of a candidate…all too often it reveals their weaknesses.
So far, the GOP candidates have been in relatively friendly territory…but that is all about to change. What I’ve seen of Perry and Romney are guys that seem like they can withstand the scrutiny and microscope of a campaign…but I’ve just felt the opposite with Bachmann.
Inteviews on a fairly “benign” show like “Face the Nation” shows that she can be rattled too easily. That doesn’t bode well for her once she is under the microscope of a brutal campaign.
Maybe that will all change over the next few months.

See I like seeing people get rattled, shows they are real and not programmed or fake. If nothing lights your fuse, then what passion do you bring to this position?
Now I also think she gets rattled the wrong way.
I would love to see a candidate go off on a reporter. Tell them to shut up and sit down, if you want to ask a question you will let me answer it. See what rationalizing capability they have when they are at that state. Do they just call names and make no reparations or do they describe their position and why they have that position.
