Conservative Register Tea Party as Office #3rd Party in Florida (Limbaugh, McCain)

[NJ~LuLu]

Think Progress » Conservatives register Tea Party as an official third party in Florida.

After hard-line conservatives and tea party activists forced moderate Republican Dede Scozzafava to drop out of the race in New York’s 23rd congressional district, they announced that Florida Gov. Charlie Crist would likely be their next target in the GOP civil war. Politico’s Ben Smith reports that some Florida Republicans recently registered an official “Tea Party” to challenge both Republicans and Democrats:


So, what are they thinking, split the republican party?

Oh Good Lord

I heard that last night. I thought, "Poor Florida. If they didn't get bad publicity they wouldn't have any publicity at all."

Couldn't those nuts have done that in some other state?

And yes, I say nuts. They ran someone on the "Conservative Party" ticket in New York, and an area that is traditionally Republican went to the Democrats. Yeah, good job.

I think this is a positive thing for Florida. If we can take back our state from the two-headed corrupt party it could revive Florida's economy. Hopefully the mainstream elite are not going to convince the sheeple that the "Tea Party" is not just a group of nuts to be ridiculed.

I'm glad that they are inclusive in their logo.

[hiknapster]

I'm glad they are around, period. Talk about a corporate creation that has completely gone out of control. And as long as Beck and Limbaugh can continue to rake in their millions they are not about to stop riling up the fringe.

David Koresh, Jim Jones, Manson, it is amazing how many weak minded people there are just looking to follow someone, anyone. People panicked over Y2K, they believe in 2012 the world will end, UFO's, aliens you name it and it can be sold to the simple minded. Now the Tea Parties. These are nothing more then people making a buck off these poor suckers. They set up offices, put themselves on payrolls and get these poor idiots who they scare with lies to give them money. If you can't get rich in this country you aren't trying. The average American is a moron.

These Tea Party people are really the bottom of the barrel, what a bunch of dupes, fools and suckers. Just for the fun of it get on one of their mailing list and watch the repeated requests for money. They are exactly what they pretend to be against. Just another money making scam aimed at the lowest common denominator and easiest to fool.

By the way, my comments have nothing to do with politics. All I see is fools, maybe well intentioned fools but fools never the less, being manipulated by people for their own selfish ends to make a buck, nothing else. Most of these idiots by the way, will in no time be chasing the next fad or tail gate party. They have no real convictions, but that is exactly what the organizers are looking for. Not people who think on their own, followers. Hay, I can't fault them, they sold the public platform shoes, get rich quick schemes, weight loss scams.

Where were these people in 2003-06 when RE taxes were out of control as local municipalities spending went ballistic, folks were going into debt slavery with mortgages they could never afford, the 'war on terror' became something else and we ran record budget defecits in suppossed boom times where everyone owning a piece of a business or RE was getting rich? The trillions by now have already been spent and the citizens are worn out, demoralized and broke. The gov't in late 2008-early 2009 did it's best to avoid another great depression and had no choice but unleash every weapon at it's disposal and learned the lessons to do the opposite of Hoover and the GOP in 1930. The ramifications of much higher inflation perhaps many years down the road have yet to be felt and the federal gov't as well as banks get a free pass for now. Those consumers and small businesses with great credit can borrow at record low interest rates courtesy of our gov't intrusion and deflationary forces. Asset prices are depressed and now is a great time to be buying up those assets and creating value. Those that look forward succeed in the new world order those that don't.......well you know the rest of that story..

The T-Party stuff is great in one way, but bad in another......
The corperialist , one party system is clearly a failure
on every level. Its great that people are starting to get interested
in local politics and are becoming aware, but what bothers me is it is
being promoted by people with disingenuous intentions and the timing.
Glenn Beck and other insanely vitriolic media righties,
Warren Mosler and his financial crony types, etc..C'mon. If these
people were sincere, this stuff would have going on for the last decade,
not just starting up. If they can vent their anger at the system as a whole,
and not just focus on the Obama hatin', it might be a good thing.
Right now, their movement appears to be on the level of the Aryan Nation or
other fringe crazy group.

Just for the record, they are not the third party certified by the state. You may also join many other political parties and give them your money. Now that I think about it, I may join "Real Food Party of the United States of America. Now there is something I can get behind, I like food.

don't scozzafava the republican party!

actually, i think it is a great thing that republicans are going to have more choices and it should help to define the party. our last general election proved the damage that can be done to a country when you have 2 similar candidates.

i hope that mccain loses his election and crist loses his election, as they are not conservatives. i am more aligned with conservatism than republicanism. if ron paul ran as a democrat i would vote for him.

be loyal to your country, not your party!
