The TEA Parties in the four corners are amazing. dems repugs native Americans Hispanics 5,th genoration ranchers and the rest of the salt of the earth, we just want to survive and live the way we always have without having to pay so much to the feds for all their stupid unions and wasteful programs that pay people not to work and pensions we could only dream about.the revolt will start in the rural areas of America we work to hard to give it away to gov unions in the cities without a fight
Are you someone who feels they don't exactly fit in either major party because they are split between issues?
Pro-gay Republican?
Pro-life Democrat?
I ask because I'm interested in seeing how many are out there who don't fit the typical party platform.
Great thread Truth Beauty!
As someone who has sought to find a "home" among the political voices in America (with frustrating results) I do sometimes feel like a political misfit. I definitely don't fit into either major party and find my own network of relations completely divided among the two. Two major representations is certainly not enough and it has been frustrating to me that some diehard Rep's or Dem's seem to also have complete amnesia about the historical track of each party and the way each has morphed. They will continue to change.
I mentioned this reference in another thread but think it is worth mentioning again. As someone who is pro-military but definitely concerned about excessive engagements and military spending and as someone who also grapples with the lib/con dividing line this was one of those "aha" finds. Look in your local library or dig it up on Amazon:
"Ain't My America: The Long, Noble History of Antiwar Conservatism and Middle American Anti-Imperialism."
I think that being educated about your party/angle's history is as important has having a stance.

Will the revolt be televised?
No really, I take it seriously. Rural determination is probably, at first, a quite undetected weapon. But what does the "revolt" aim to solve?

to leave us alone to continue to make our own way ,and we can without having to be taxed to pay for the lazy loosers that want to sit around living off obamacare or the unfunded public employee unions with their unaffordable pensions that they never paid into but the lowly taxpayer pays but does not collect.this crap has to stop. public employees want a golden pension then pay for it I cant afford you leeches anymore

I understand all of this.
What about, to use your words, the "lazy losers" in the rural districts? What about them? Please tell me they are not part of the revolt.
I am most certainly a political misfit. I don't even, anymore, want to be an Independent because it's just going to be another POLITICAL party. And Politics seems to me has only brought WAR, POVERTY, ANGER, CRIME, HOMELESS, UNFAIR TREATMENT, UNLIVABLE MINIMUM WAGES, CONFUSION, HATRED, BIGOTRY, THEFT, INCOME RAPING, MAJORITY STRUGGLE, LIES LIES LIES. Politics IS NOT WORKING for the greater good. It works for itself and itself only. Sure, we've all seen some flourishing times, but two Great Depression/Recessions and several in between, within one hundred years, isn't a real comfort. We as humans REALLY need to come to a new kind of reality. Because, repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results IS INSANE.
Life is tough enough as it is. Who the HELL needs the two-faced people insane with political agenda?
I'm affraid I take issue with this first statement. Like many repubs they think one way but act another ( as a party)
Here is the definition of Fiscal Conservative
- Fiscal conservatives often consider reduction of overall government spending and national debt as well as ensuring balanced budget of paramount importance.
Now in practice all the rep presidents have done exactly the opposite of this. I would think it would irritate the people of the party that their leaders are not following the tenants of their parry. Oddly the one in recent history that came close to this policy was clinton and he by no means is a rep. so is it that the party simply has made a shift but the party members didnt get the memo?
I know the reps are bright enough to realize GW increased gov spending by massive amounts, he came no where near balancing the budget and he certainly did major damage to the national debtt... and it was no different under Regan. yet Reps still think they should vote Rep to get this... It just doesn't ad up.

no they are not and they hate me cause i tell them to their face what i think of them 45 year old alcholics who dont have to work cause they are on ssd tick me off. last thing you want if you are a gov leech is a Sicilian like me living across the street.I rub it in every day just to relieve stress after a hard days work supporting them. dont like it to bad. i offend people all the time
