The original Tea Party was a group of Ron Paul supporters who were protesting 8 years of Bush's big government, big spending, Constitutional abuses.

The movement was then hijacked by the establishment to give the impression that it was some kind of anti-Obama movement, it wasnt. It was an ideological movement.

If you do a search, youll see that early on in the movement, mainstream Republicans were constantly getting booed by the Tea Party.

I've seen this before, and I must say, that is the not the Tea Party I belong to.

The Tea Party name has been compromised/hijacked/subverted, take your pick, by the GOP.

Just as OWS has been compromised/hijacked/subverted, take your pick, by the Dems.

I've always been amused and at times flabbergasted at how people like to label one another.

Yup, totally sick of that.

As of late, it has rendered all political discussion completely meaningless.

i remember, they sent out sarah palin to the tea party demos, and the tea party peeps were booing here, but mainstream media pushed it as positive.

i agree, but all people need to know it was hijacked so they can make informed decisions...


we all have the ability to change our minds

for the record i'm a Ron Paul supporter and always will be...



but i mean i stand for truth and wherever there is manipulation going on, i will expose it...




we all should, someday we will have an awesome world for it

Sorry, puddin' but as a Tea Party member, I must disagree.

We are for individualism, personal responsibility, less government.

Dunno who YOUR talking about.

(Personally, I joined after Bush signed TARP1)

Which, imo, is best achieved by "individualism, personal responsibility, & less government. "

They were good words.

ETA: Unfortunately, even those three simple concepts are not easily understood by many. All they hear is "selfishness, deceitfulness and NO government."

There is obviously some very powerful mojo that has seized the minds of a large part of the electorate. They think they are to something new, when in reality all they are managing to accomplish is to secure the same oppressive form of governance humanity has suffered from for the last 6000 years.

Seems like we always end up "defaulting" to that, don't we.

No matter how "civilised" we pretend to be, we simply default back to alpha males and the bigest club leads the tribe.

Pity we can't use reason.

my goal is to be self sufficient as soon as possible, but for it will take time as i'm a renter, single dad on food stamps...

some day!

i pray for miracles...


i believe in self-rule/self-responsibility, but i am also thankful for systems that help me in my times of need..


thank you so much


i pray for abundance for all...

thank you
