Wow, it sure looks like the GOP thinks the tea partiers are pretty much suckers. How insulting! This combined with the leaked fund-raising strategy documents that describe the tea-partiers as fear driven paranoid wing-nuts that are not motivated by rationality sure let us know what the republican party thinks of the true tea-party patriots.

Tea Party Protest Signs: RNC Blacks Out Its Involvement (PHOTOS)

At first, I thought the Tea Parties were a good thing, the way they started out.

Then Faux news and Sean Hannity got involved and it all went to hell. I was going to go to the protests on April 15 last year(that was the day, right?) but I refuse to allow myself to be associated with either of the asinine parties, either Dems or Repubs.

To hell with them. There's one happening soon around here, with Sarah Palin. There is no way in the world I would be caught, dead or alive, at one of that idiot chick's speeches.

If Sarah Palin and Sean Hannity have their grubby hands in the Tea Party, I'm not involved. I don't need more Republican crap, as I don't need any more Dem crap.

So, yeah, the Tea Party was infiltrated long ago. IMO it is now worthless.

Nice catch Skunknuts. I knew it was just a matter of time before the RNC got their grubby little paws into the tea party movement. When Sarah Palin showed up everyone should have booed her but instead they welcome her? wtf.......these tea partiers don't even know who their enemies are.

Sounds like mission accomplished, then. Did anyone really think that the two ruling parties would want competition from another party that was attractive to observant and thinking people that would try to effect a real change to the status quo?

Look at the negative slants ever other third party has been maligned with. Libertarians, wacky tax dodgers. Green party, pot smokers. Fair tax movement, even wackier tax increasers.

Turning the TEA party into a GOP offshoot seems as natural as the Coffee Party being DNC members upset that they didn't think of a secondary party offshoot first.

opportunist politicians eh!?!

as a movement gains size and momentum, cynics will quickly latch on to take advantage of the "mob" element, they then push out the core of idealists that started the movement and twist and manipulate the motivations of the movement to their own ends.

that's what makes collective movement for social change so difficult. the only time this doesn't happen is if there is something that will immediately mark an infiltrator out.

don't trust whitey, don't trust anyone over the age of 30 etc. etc.

Yes, both heads of the Two Head snake is trying to destroy the Taxed Enough Already movement.

Take a look for the Coffee Party, what a frelling joke. They want bigger government, more taxes, more regulations, less freedom.

So one side of the two headed snake tries to incorporate them, while the other head tries to create bigger government.

Talk about a joke, take a look at this video-

I am sick of both parties, time to start our own government. Do a search for The Solution here and on the net. Time to go back in time and eliminate our involvement with the corruption and evil that permeates this country.

Just deny their power over us. Frell them and their evil!

OH, one more thing GO TEA PARTY CREATORS and frell the government lap dogs.

Man, I was all for the tea parties as they started - it was a nonpartisan movement for the most part, although it seemed a lot of people starting it shared beliefs with Ron Paul.
Then they started and they were showing Republicans who had voted for war and money and patriot act talking and I said THEN that they'd been usurped by the Republicans, and it seemed that anywhere I said that, half the comments that followed were calling me liar.
I thought then I didn't know what was so different about my eyes as the people defending the way it was going.
I mean, you start a movement, good, it picks up steam, good, then you go and hire every War Hawk and Republican Politician you can to speak, and there ya go.
Add to that Fox news and the major news agencies focusing in ONLY on speakers and people holding up Republican (NEOCON) type signs.

WHO hired the speakers? Way, way back at the very start?
Because I think you'll find your 'movers' by finding out that fact.

I'm officially starting the "# the bull-#" party. For those who have dropped the obsolete left/right mentality, and have realized that we have to bring about change ON OUR OWN!

Mission accomplished, for sure.

My Mom is a die hard Republican that thinks Hannity, Levin, O'Reilly, Beck, etc. are Gods and total truthtellers. They can do no wrong in her mind and everything they say is the word. Now, she wants to be a part of this Tea Party crap because Sarah "The Idiot" Palin is there. Last time I checked SP was a frakking Republican.

So yeah, mission accomplished. They just created a second Republican party. Great, just what we don't need. More lies and corruption in the name of a new party.

We need something like a We The People party - how's about the Unrepresented party, I'd join that LOL since I am unrepresented in this government, with real people, real ideas, and not some rehashed crap spewed by the parties that have wreaked havoc upon us. We need people who have a understanding of the Constitution and what it really means, how to follow the law of the land instead of subverting it for corporate or political gain.

We need real change, not that crap that Obama pulled in his campaign,"Change you can believe in". He never had any intention of changing things for the good in this country as there was never any qualifiers about what this "change" was going to be.

Turned out to be one helluva doozy, this change, eh? He sure changed all the things that Dubya did before him, right? Dems and repubs, different sides of the same penny(they aren't even worth that penny). Flip the coin all you want you still get the same result.

The Coffee party is simply a parody of the tea party...ultimately its just a dem movement, however they did not start out as something different many years back and been infiltrated.

Also, the irony is that the coffee party actually is a grassroots movement in support of government, and the tea party is a corporate movement (currently) that spouts less government regulations.

I find the whole process amusing frankly...such is the way in a republic.

At least if we were a democracy, lobbiests would have to buy out the citizens verses the representitives..

Only if its a Technocracy based agenda. the current governmental schemes currently sucks and I think we are at a point where it could be a starting reality...still might need a figurehead to put a face on the nation, but thats about it.

I think that face should be Ray Kurzweil

Perhaps we should not jump into these catch-all parties at all. How about just Anti-War or Anti-Tax or Anti-Fed? The more clear and concise the message the better. - Just my humble opinion.

What if it all were made very clear - THE REVOLUTION PARTY

And make the color something OTHER than PURPLE.
Obama and his whole family and Biden and Hillary have been wearing a LOT of purple lately.

Yeah, a democracy is a step up from a Constitutional Republic. /s

Here is the deal, if people think this TPM is going to go away because the Dems and the Repubs both are trying to destroy it by any means necessary, they better realize who they are dealing with.

They had better realize, this has nothing to do with either party. If this government continues on the path they have been, all the people that have not been involved in the political field will start something. And will end it also.

I see Obama is going to be on Fox tonight. Now, you are starting to SEE that both parties are the same and they control all of the MSM.

The difference in the MSM is exactly the same maneuver as the Dem/Repub paradigm.

And people see it. Not everyone, but millions are waking up. Some of us are not your average people either. We do not follow ANYTHING blindly. They will stop their crap, or they will be stopped.

For the most part, thats what the tea party was in the beginning...it was a concern about the mounting national debt and lack of budget balancing and was a honorable bipartisan group...now its just another name for the GOP...they pushed out the democrats, the social liberals, etc.

I always questioned the tea party motives in Texas. We have one of the nations highest property taxes and fairly high sales tax, which you would think an anti-tax party would notice. Yet, all I ever saw was complaints about socialized health care and not a word about the obscene taxes in Texas.

So, it seemed like they were taking marching orders from forces outside of the state who could care less about the Texas state taxes.

I don't think this means anything. You'll find most local Republican workers (the ones that aren't ultra political) are members of the Tea Parties and view the Tea Party as where the GOP should be standing. The GOP of course wants to use the Tea Party as a blunt instrument but I promise you that if the GOP doesn't infiltrate and destroy the Tea Party as quickly as possible it will receive a blood bath in the 2012 election. This year, the Tea Party is going to help unseat a lot of Democrats mainly because of what the Democrats are doing to themselves though. By 2012 the Tea Party becomes a Ross Perot to the GOP and it will have to be destroyed by then.

Just my 2c.

Of course the tea party has been infiltrated by the GOP. If you don't want someone to infiltrate your organization, you don't roll out the red carpet to them in welcome.

It's really sad that this has happened, but you'd have to be blind not to see it coming. And they absolutely let it happened and even encouraged it. They couldn't resist the high-profile, high-draw Sarah Palin speaking at their event. They couldn't resist the $upport shown to them by the all-powerful GOP. They should have denied her and her party outright. They should have stayed a grassroots movement and not been seduced by those with big money in powerful places.

They brought it on, themselves.

I don't support the tea party, but I do welcome alternatives to the 2 party system, regardless whether I agree with them or not. I hope the coffee drinkers don't make the same mistake.

Takeover, or takeover efforts, were soooo predictable.

I saw that coming 10 miles back.

It will be very difficult for Tea Party movement to remain grassroots as corrupt, self serving politicians attempt to align themselves.

Remain Independent!

Oh really the have? And who do you think invited them in? I posted a thread roughly a year ago regarding the tea parties of April 15th and by then the GOP and Fox news itself were well in force. There were GOP speakers at many of the majority events and they were invited and played a major role in funding, pushing these events. When the obvious argument came out everybody here decided to play dumb and make the excuse 'that they are the only ones paying attention'....

Yep they were paying attention alright, because its a politcal score to them.
