TEA PARTY TO AMERICA: NOW WHAT?!

@Finn dAbuzz,

Good assessment, Finn. I mentioned the Alaska race as a good example to cyclops to try to help him understand how the Tea Party is different than the Republican Party. He was having a tough time understanding it. I hope he has by now.

Yeah, one of the big difference between the two is that Sarah Palin is the leader of the Tea Party, while Boehner is the leader of the GOP. It's a minor issue that Sarah Palin ran as VP for the GOP two years ago, and became more popular the McCain.

Okie, these folks will never understand the Tea Party movement. Not because they aren't capable of understanding it, but because they don't want to.

We understand the Tea Party; they are the party of One Liners who has no depth for any solution this country has. The GOP has become the No Party.

That pretty much summarizes the Tea Party and the GOP.

It will all resolve itself down to a question of political power.
There is strength in numbers; either thay have it or thay don 't.

@Finn dAbuzz,

I don't think they identify with common folks, with business owners, and so forth.

The more I observe politics and peoples political persuasions, the more I think it has more to do with religious or moral grounds than most of us ever suspected. There are some of us that simply do not trust government, and we prefer to deal with our problems and responsibilities personally and between us and God. We like the concept of freedom and are willing to bear the responsibilities of it. On the other end of the spectrum are people that want to disavow any personal responsibility for their problems, and believe somehow that government can and should solve them. Government becomes sort of a God to them, and the ultimate arbitor. Often, it seems that people most susceptible to liberalism are those without a strong faith in God, at least that being the case in the Judeo-Christian culture of this country.

I don't know if these thoughts resonate with you or not, but that is sort of how I am making sense of all of the polarization and why it exists.

@okie,

okie, Quit your bull ****! Obama wanted the GOP to sign onto assisting small business, and they all voted "no." They passed that bill without the support of the "conservatives."

What do you mean they don't identify with "common folks, with business owners," when the stim bill helped the common folks with extended unemployment benefits, tax cuts for the middle class and small business.

Don't you ever learn the facts on anything?

This is what the folks who want to demonize it don't understand --- its a movement, not an organization.

I would say that anyone who thinks the Tea Totalitarians are a grassroots movement are naive.

How can anyone have such a sickeningly large ego?

I thought the big difference between boerner and palin was that palin doesn't wear self-tanning products.

There is absolutely no "morality (I prefer the term ethics)" on the right.

My life demonstrated since I was old enough to know what politics are that ethics do not exist in conservative quarters.

BTW, American guns are fueling the Mexican drug wars. Hats off to those who defend what they think the Second Amendment says.

Original American ethics mean playing it straight, with no deviation.

U think that if thay had no guns from us,
then thay 'd be gunless, because no one else sells them
and, for some reason, thay cannot make them, themselves ??????
U think that Mexicans are too stupid to make their own guns ?

(Note also that I have no interest in what happens in Mexico.)

Yeah, thank u.

U know, Plain, 100% of the Founders, who wrote and enacted the Bill of Rights
were on MY side, the pro-freedom side of gun possession.
Not even 1 Founder ever spoke in favor of gun control,
nor of any jurisdiction for such a monstrosity; NOT EVEN ONE of them.

True.

The Mexican drug war is fueled by our stupid war on drugs.

Of which we need more. It is ethical and reality based. Only paranoids and criminals "need" guns.
