They figure that the only way to defeat us is by using the compliant msm to start calling us racists.
That failed, so now we're "terrorists".
Typical of the left....REAL terrorists are lionized, peace loving, Constitution believing American citizens are vilified.
The vitriol toward the tea party is easy to understand. The officials they helped elect are actually doing what they said they would. Nothing is more abhorrent to libs than telling the truth and living up to campaign promises.
You think your little sh1tty governor is going to win and put me back in my place. Never!
No I do not like Rick Perry and did not vote for him as governor.
I support Ron Paul. He's at the different end of the political spectrum than big government Rick Perry.
I notice you keep seperating the words as if that is how it was used.
Let me help you. Its not the words ghetto and goon. He called the President a GHETTO GOON! Stop playing like you dont understand. You know you like hearing that about Obama

Yes, the Tea party people have exposed Obama and the congressional dems for what they are.
I wish it was that simple but it isnt'. The fact is that Tea Party is right now the most energetic and enthusiastic group within the Republican Party. The undeniable truth of the matter is that their is no way the Republican Party would have been as successful as they were in the 2010 mid term elections without the Tea Party.
The issue now is that Americans have seen the Tea Party actually govern both on the state and federal level. The recall elections in Wisconsin and the 2012 elections are in part going to be a referendum on how people feel about their poliices with regard to reduced collective bargaining, abortion, reduced taxes for corporations, cut backs in government funding and services and other policies that Tea Party has put into place.
Kentucky has not recalled one of the two authentic Tea Party members in the Senate, Rand Paul. Kentucky loves him.
Whether is was the Bammer or Hillary or McCain or Romney all have horrible big government policies that have failed in the past and will continue to fail us in the future. Those policies do not work and no one person can make them work. History has shown us their manipulative ways have never worked in the long run and the boom always is worse than the busts.
America is drowning and the answer is not more water.
The Democratic Party is going to be 'slapped into irrelevance' on 11-6-12, while the Tea Party certainly will not.
I suspect that there will be a rosy glow to the tea party's hand from slapping ******* after ******* after ******* into the asheap of political oblivion.
I'm appauled at the 'conversation' here. I think that people are either very misinformed or just looking for a fight but there are a couple of things being said here that are flat out lies. The Tea Party didn't want the US to default - they didn't want the debt ceiling raised without some major consideration to spending cuts and how to balance the budget. I would say that while they may have started a dialouge, they didn't 'win' this fight which is unfortunate. The US is on its way to being downgraded from its AAA status and rightfully so. One major reason for this is because we have to raise our debt ceiling once again and our politicians knew it. Our obligations/promises are more than we can deliver and no matter how much you tax the rich - we won't catch up. How is it that I kept hearing - raising the debt ceiling should be a simple up or down vote - it is ridiculous that it is tied to balanced budget ammendments What the Tea Party just EXPOSED is that very few in our government are willing to talk about some very painful cuts that MUST be made to survive in the long run and that there is no plan to get our economy back on track. Plus you had the President of the United States going on national TV throwing a tantrum and HE was the one who talked about defaulting. Just like with the stimulus - this was another catastrophe!
I also have to say that all of this talk about the Tea Party holding people hostage and other such statements - well, now you know how about 80% of americans felt when the Health Care bill passed AGAINST the will of the people.
As long as our Government continues to ignore us and grow out of control - the Tea Party or some form of it will be alive and well... that is a promise. You can try to name call and ridicule and we'll take it because we know what is at stake. What a shame that there isn't this type of outrage about the people who DO have the power and who DID create the problem! I'm willing to go through pain now so my kids don't have to. I want them to have FREEDOM not 'free' health care and 'free' retirement. What part of these views makes me a racist, hater, terrorist??!!
