Wow, so she collected unemployment for nearly two years, but instead of looking for work during that time she used the money to subsidize her Tea Party activism as she traveled all over the south. She is a taker, a mooch and a hypocrite. In other words, the perfect Tea Party candidate.

You just blathered on without using anything of substance. I commented about that and yet again you proved me correct. You falsely accuse the Tea Party of grandstanding yet have no proof. Can't say I'm shocked.
Again it's about small government.

Look at how they tried to shut down the government because they didn't get their way, and costing the taxpayers even more money in the process. Lots of sound and fury but nothing to show for it, and nothing practical. Ideological purity sounds great until you try to make it work.

You guys never remember the conservative screaming over Bush's bailouts and the first TARP package in 2008 for some reason.

FedUpUSA Protest - New York City - April 25, 2008 - Patriot Action Network

That was the real birth of the Tea Party.

It's convenient for both sides to forget this though. For the Right it's good because it makes it look like TARP was all Obama's fault. For the Left it's good because it makes it look like opposition to Obama's high spending is all about racism.

"Her opponent is Pete Sessions (R, TX), chair of the all-powerful rules committee, said by some to be a RINO. The primary is only a couple weeks from now, March 4. I would love to see her win. It's a safe R seat, so whoever wins on March 4 will be the next congress-critter from that district. She has been endorsed by both Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin. I sent her a nice donation."


Aren't you from Seattle? Seriously, clean up your own state and mind your own business. Sessions is just fine, he's not a flocking RINO. I heard Pierson speak a couple of years ago, I liked her. However, she needs to run for a slightly lesser office. She's in over her head, for now anyway.

ah yes, always with the name calling. What exactly did she say that makes her a 'nutter?'

She was outspent 10-1, and was going against a powerful incumbent. I don't think 35% is all that bad, all things considered. If a Ralph Nader or any Libertarian candidate got 35% they would be bellowing from the rooftops. Hopefully she will be back.

She's a conspiracy nutter - believes that UN troops will invade the US (Agenda 21), create a police state with block captain spies, seize private property, and roundup and relocate Americans to camps and crowded buildings. This right wing tea partier hypocrite and cheat also collected unemployment benefits in 2012-2013 while working for Ted Cruz.
