Your questions for the CNN/Tea Party debate, Sept. 12 in Tampa – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs
Fox lost a lot of cred with me during the 2008 elections when they minimized Ron Paul. As a matter of fact, they haven't done much better by Ron Paul this election cycle either. When people say Fox is a Tea Party shill, it is a tell they are either trolls or repeating what they've heard. How can Fox be a Tea Party shill simultaneously minimizing Ron Paul? It isn't possible.

Most of the tea partiers support Ron Paul. Don't believe what the media tolds you! They want to make the stolen elections legitimate!

I NEVER associated myself with the Tea Party nor supported them EVER. My past posts can verify that. However, I don't consider Ron Paul part of the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party reminds me of high school dropouts that are mad and want to tear the entire system down even though 99% of them have benefited from the system or currently benefit from the system.

I don't consider myself a part of the tea party movement either, but your statement and perception of the tea party and the movement are way off.

The Tea Party folks just want to stop ever expanding government which interferes in every aspect of our lives. The Tea Party is sick of the government borrowing money from China only to turn around and give foreign aid to China. The Tea Party is tired of hearing about government grants to study a bunch of ridiculous crap that isn't even being conducted by America which is bad enough, but by other countries, which is worse. What do you think the Tea Party is about anyway? You would think we are against funding schools and roads, although I wouldn't be opposed to those functions going back to the state level rather than the federal level. You couldn't be more wrong about the Tea Party and Ron Paul. He believes in limited government, so does the Tea Party. The Tea Party doesn't believe in no government, just a government that serves the citizens that sent them to DC and not the other way around.

Yet the Tea Party believes we should invade Iran if they develop a nuclear weapon. They believe we should give endless aid to Israel even when Israel refuses to try to work out a compromise. They want the US to continue policing the world. All but four accept their government health care insurance plan. They want to get involved in social issues such as gay rights. Etc...they are more hypocrites, just are willing to allow the US to default to make a point. WHY NOT GIVE UP YOUR TAX PAYER HEALTH CARE IF YOU'RE WILLING TO LET US DEFAULT!?

Ron Paul started the current Tea Party movement, there are millions of us waiting for 2012 to voice our opinions.

I don't know anyone in the Tea Party who believes any of the BS you claim and I know a lot more of them than you do. We want the exact opposite of what you claim therefore I must assume that you're just ignorant of the facts.

Just look at the "Tea Party Queen" Bachmann and her position on issues, nuff' said.

Bachman is only considered the "Tea Party Queen" by people who know nothing about the Tea Party and want to project as much hate and ignorance on it as possible... people like you for instance. You don't care about the truth, you're not interested in knowing or learning about the Tea Party or the people who support it. You want to link it to anything that you feel will bring it down but the bad news for you is that hasn't worked yet and it won't work in the future.

At the core of the Tea Party there are people like myself who changed this country for the better in 2010 and we intend on doing the exact same thing in 2012, just on a much larger scale. We symbolize the end of free rides for a lot of people therefore we get a ton of hate, I encourage it and feed off of it. According to many people like you the Tea Party wouldn't make it past 2008, you guys still insist it needs to be resurrected but we haven't gone anywhere. You spent your time and money attacking fringe candidates that we really don't care about.
