You guys picked that term, want someone to blame, look in the mirror. If you guys were too stupid to know what it means, well that's your problem.

He wants to take away all of their crony protections, put liability back on corporations and take away their corporate welfare. It doesn't take a genius to see that Fox would be very much against that.

Here are a couple links that show the deception. I watched the CPAC announcement live, then watched that interview, I though they just had a different mic or something, I could not believe they used an old video. (Well actually I could)


YouTube - ‪Busted:Fox News CPAC Ron Paul Video Deception‬‏

Here is a great clip of all the spin.

Ron is a Libertarian, quite different from the Tea Party.

And yes, we all know most of his goals would never be achieved. There are too many Americans who love the Big Government nanny state.
I am really curious what you think the Tea Party stands for. Since there is no one "leader" of the Tea Party, but many who claim it and have tried to co-opt it as someone stated earlier, I wonder where people get their information on what it is all about. Libertarians are for limited government and strict adherence to the constitution and personal liberty. Isn't the Tea Party for limited government, strict adherence to the constitution and personal liberty?

The Tea Party was born out of frustration with the Republican Party's lack of fiscal conservatism, true, but doesn't that go hand in hand with limited government, abiding by the Constitution and therefore means more personal freedom? Aren't there Democrats, Independents and Republicans who are sick and tired of the nanny state and have joined the Tea Party?

I agree there are too many people who are getting entitlements from the government to get rid of them, but we do not have a choice because we can no longer afford them, nor the military bases all over the world, nor wars, nor the size of government. (I do not include SS or Medicare as an "entitlement" because we paid for those benefits when FICA was taken out of each and every paycheck.)

I would say those that have to resort to vulgar language to express themselves might be the ones afraid of smart people.
The stupidity of the Tea Baggers exceeds what would be considered fraud.

They have no credibility.

Pond scum in their own stagnant universe.
