Hitting the Panic Button
Dear Fellow Tea Party Patriots,

Arriving at the bottom of a deck of increasingly desperate and shrill attacks against the Tea Party Patriots, liberals play the race card, and it's roundly rejected by the American people. Game over for the racists at the NAACP. Below read the Politico op-ed Tea Party Patriots' co-founders Mark Meckler and Jenny Beth Martin.

Additionally, as we see headlines of the White House hitting the panic button as they read weekly polls showing diminishing support, Tea Party Patriots have some advice to democrats to halt their well documented free fall in polls and public support. Read our press release below.

After reading the articles below, consider donating to Tea Party Patriots to help us fight the smears and to reclaim America's founding principles.


Tea Party Patriots Offer Democrats Advice to Halt Free Fall in Polls and Public Support
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Randy Lewis, July 14, 2010

Not passing legislation that Americans oppose is key to gaining support

Washington - Tea Party Patriots, the nation's largest Tea Party organization with more than 2,000 affiliates, today offered the President and the Democratic Party advice on how they can halt their well-documented free-fall in national public opinion polls.

"The Tea Party is growing and our candidates are winning primary contests across the country," said Mark Meckler, Co-Founder and National Coordinator of Tea Party Patriots. "All the Democrats need to do is listen to the American people about their concerns, and embrace the core values of the Tea Party Patriots."

The Core Values of Tea Party Patriots are:

Fiscal Responsibility
Constitutionally Limited Government
Free Markets

"It's not too late for struggling candidates to reverse their fortunes," said Jenny Beth Martin, Co-Founder and National Coordinator of Tea Party Patriots. "It can be done with just a few simple policy changes that are widely supported by the American people."

Meckler and Martin recommend that Democrats immediately:

Suspend stimulus spending and return the unspent money to the Federal Treasury. The stimulus is not working, in fact, it may be hurting. A better policy would involve lowering taxes and adopting other policies that support private sector hiring and spending. These are well-known job creators that stimulate the economy and prosperity.

Repeal ObamaCare. The American people hate this program. They have figured out that the president didn't tell the truth about people being able to keep their insurance and their doctors. And, they don't want giant government programs with thousands of new bureaucrats dictating their treatments. This program is killing the Democratic Party, and the sooner they ditch it the sooner they can get back into the good graces of the American people. More important, repealing it will save the United States from bankruptcy because ObamaCare is a financial train wreck!

Drop the Arizona lawsuit. Democratic governors met with the President this past week and told him that his lawsuit against Arizona was "toxic." The Democratic governors are right. Arizona is trying to protect its people from violent drug criminals that are invading Arizona across a border that Democrats refuse to patrol and seal. Why should the people of Arizona risk their lives so the President can build the Democratic Party with more illegal voters?

We are confident that the Democratic Party can "feel the love" of the American people once again. All they need to do is quit passing legislation that destroys our economy, grows government and strips the American people of their liberty and freedoms. "It really is just that simple," said Meckler.

Tea Party Patriots is a national grassroots coalition with more than 2,000 locally organized chapters and more than 15 million supporters nationwide. Tea Party Patriots is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting the principles of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets.

Ridiculous and idiotic. You'll never see a clearer sign that a writer doesn't know what they are talking about.

In other news, the Senate passes the FinReg bill 60-39. These are the biggest reforms of Wall Street since the great depression.

Another huge accomplishment for Obama and the Dems....

George, I am going to call you out on that comment. I generally consider your comments worthwhile, but I don't think you did your homework on that statement, and perhaps you have not read my posts carefully.

First of all, I have always clearly identified myself as a staunch conservative, and a registered Republican. I am not a liberal, moderate, or independent, I am conservative. Now, in response to folks like pom claiming to be centrist or mainstream, I think I may have rebutted such ridiculous claims by saying that I was in fact much closer to being a centrist than pom. I have also pointed out that I believe the culture and overall political spectrum has moved to the left over the past few decades. To place all of this into context, I grew up with both parents being FDR Democrats, and they remained registered Democrats throughout their entire life. However, they felt that the Democrats had gone too far whacko left in the last 20 years or so, and have not voted for Democrats of late. I believe also that my parents are good examples of being conservative, but the Democratic Party left them, they did not leave the party. They believed in most of the basics that I believe, that being fiscally responsible government, freedom, liberty, personal responsibility, and a government that cares about the rule of law and national defense. I don't know about you, but I think those things are mainstream, I believe that is what most people believe.

I am going to issue you a challenge, George, if you can find evidence in any of my posts that I am some kind of ultra wild eyed right wing extremist, not in the mainstream of political thought, I would like you to try it. I have a suspicion that your comment stems from my assertions here on this forum that Hitler was a leftist. You can confirm that or not, and if not, please kindly point out my stands on issues that places me out of the mainstream.

I am not going to back down from considering Hitler a leftist, obviously he was, and the facts are on my side.

Anyway, I am not totally sure of where you got your comments from, but I frankly resent the idea that I am not closer to mainstream than somebody like pom, that consistently posts some of the most outlandish and ridiculous leftist claptrap seen anywhere. And so I think I deserve an explanation and justification for your comment.

The Obama administration has something to hide.

The Administration has now made it a felony crime for any reporter or photographer to get within view of any oil cleanup operations. Anyone caught is subject to “arrest, a 40,000 dollar fine, and prosecution for a federal felony crime.” In addition, the FAA has declared a no-fly zone over most of the Gulf, under the excuse of protecting oil workers.

This is the video that Obama doesn’t want you to see

|.....................\/..................…|

The video shows one of the last views of the Gulf Oil Spill before the FAA shut down the airspace.

Why is Obama trying to cover up this incredible devastation in the gulf?

Because Obama knows that his response to the spill has been nothing short of catastrophic.

And he doesn’t want you to know that.

Early on when Alabama wanted to buy snare booms to catch oil as it came up on the beaches, what did the Obama administration do?

They vetoed the plan saying it would endanger sea turtles that nest on the beaches.

When oil-sucking barges were being sent out to suck up oil, what did the Obama administration do?

They stopped the barges in order to make sure there were “fire extinguishers and life vests” on board.

Even more than two whole month after the spill, only 20 of the 2000 oil skimmers in the United States had been sent to the Gulf, even as the oil well was pumping out as much oil in two in a half days as the entire Exxon Valdez oil spill.

What has Obama been doing the whole time that this devastation has been growing and growing?

Instead of confronting the spill, Obama has focused on his golf game.

Even though he told us he would not rest until the spill was plugged, he has golfed more than 7 times since the spill began.

The administration’s explanation? It does “us all good”

No Mr. Obama.

Your golfing does not “do us all good.”

Your Orwellian attempts to cover up the devastation of this spill and your own incompetence does not “do us all good.”

Your attempts to use this spill as a means to gain greater control over our economic lives does not “do us all good.”

When you get off your own “ass” and do what you can to actually fight this spill, then…you will have finally done us all good.

I know.
I mean, I've watched Obama in 19 months pass some of the most sweeping social legislation since LBJ and legislation that's going to directly impact the economy more than any since FDR. And since one of the main barometers of presidential success is the amount and the weight of legislation he is able to initiate and/or push through, I am very impressed. You could make the argument that I would've been impressed too easily because I'm a big Obama fan, but I believe it would take willful blindness not to see the magnitude of the accomplishments in the face of the challenges he faced, and faces still.

I am glad that it gives you the warm fuzzies, what it tells the majority is the Obama and the Dems can not be trusted to listen to the people, so Congress must revert back to the GOP so that we can use divided government to keep Washington from ruining what chance America has to right itself.

Why President Obama loses by winning

Quote:
Based on interviews with officials in the administration and on Capitol Hill, and with Democratic operatives around town, here are a half-dozen reasons why Obama is perceived as failing to win over the public, even though by most conventional measures he is clearly succeeding:


I won't paste the entire article, but found the explanations interesting. Deals with reasons Independents are disgruntled, his perceived ideology and likability factor and the effectiveness of his West Wing staff.

Majority? What do you consider the majority? Most of the time, you agree with okie and ican, who believe in the right?

Would you want anyone, even a cab driver, to listen to okie and ican? Can you imagine those two trying to give directions?

the American people have lost faith in Washington, both parties as well as the process, and desire now to put in place divided government to limit the damage. The American desire is not new, we for instance did the same thing after the first two years of Clinton. Obama has made the very same mistake as Clinton, he has misread the people and taken his election for a mandate that the people never sent him to Washington with.

You can tell me how stupid I am after the day after the next election when the pundits look at the results and tell you exactly this.

Thanks, I'll do exactly that. Both you and the empty-headed pundits will be wrong.

Do you even understand why the Dems will lose seats this cycle, no matter what the national mood is? Have you investigated the dynamics behind which districts are now held by Democrats, but historically have been very conservative? I believe the answer is no, because that would take work, and it's much easier to just converse with one long string of doom-and-gloom assertions, isn't it?

calling current trends in U.S. budgets a "cancer" that will "destroy the country from within" unless halted soon.


That didnt come from a repub, nor did it come from a "right wing" pundit.
It came from the man appointed by Obama to head the "Deficit Commission"

So if the man picked by Obama says that there is a problem, there is a problem.

Quote:
"We can't tax our way out," admitted Erskine Bowles, co-chairman of Obama's deficit commission and formerly President Clinton's chief of staff. "We've got to cut spending or increase revenues or do some combination of that."


Now since Obama has actually INCREASED spending, what do you think the deficit is gonna look like when Obama leaves office?

Quote:
Today, the federal government alone is spending around 25% of GDP, compared with its long-term average of 18%. If expected massive deficits are closed with taxes rather than spending cuts, it will require a 25%-plus increase in the real size of government.

That won't be the end of it. Absent serious spending cuts, spending will rise to 32% of GDP by 2030, Congressional Budget Office data show. At current levels, taxes on Americans would have to rise 78% to pay for all that spending. Ready for that?


So, to keep up with what Obama is doing, our taxes would have to rise 78%?
And he is supposed to be cutting spending?
I dont think so.
