Actually..what is the Tea Party..is everyone who disagrees with Obama a member?? I was in Washington on 9/12/09 and I am a registered inde, not an evangelical..in fact haven't been to church in years...don't read the Bible...not a Tea Party member as far as I know..Tea Party is just a label..people keep going back to taxes..and for me it has much less to do with high taxes..much more to do with crooked politicians and ideologues..runaway spending...Constitution...and government wanting to control my life..incumbents are dead..they might as well pack their bags..no matter what the press says..or the left...they are done...I know some lifelong Dems who tell me as long as someone has an R next to their name..that's who they are voting for...they know the deal...the party is infected by progressives..
That's all you've got? Sorry, but that's a major failure on your part, and you're living up to the prediction I made in my last post.
That "article" (post on a left-wing blog) names one name, with no citation or even a quote from the candidate. I attended the Searchlight rally some months before the primary, where Sharron Angle spoke, and she didn't mention anything about it there. In fact, nobody did, the blog you linked to is the first time I've heard anything about the allegation against Angle.
The "article" you linked to may have mentioned Angle and the Tea Party movement, but it's obvious focus was on the legality of income tax, which I'm not disputing.
By the way, I wanted and expected Sue Lowden to get the nomination, not Angle. Generally speaking, Angle better represents my views on most political topics, but Lowden would have been a shoe-in, and this election season, my only priority as a Nevada voter is to get Reid out of office. Lowden getting the nomination would have sealed his fate, and he could have saved his record-setting campaign fund by just dropping out of the race. Instead, the Republicans (of which I am not one) chose Angle. An interesting selection, but not one I would have made this year.
That's all well and good, but do you have any problems with the assertions made?
But you fail to realize that the bigger the government apparatus, the more of their agenda and pocket lining takes precedence, and the less of your interests.
thus the need for an amendment to overrule Citizens vs FEC , and ending special interest campaign contributions once and for all
And so were many of her comments. If you dish it out, you better be ready to take it. Why ask a question, an "honest question" at that and get angry at the answers to the point of personal insults? Wheter OP likes it or not, there will still be people who see the Tea Party as a fringe group. I answered, I expressed my opinion, which I am entitled to and she called it drivel. Apparently, she wasn't looking for an answer, just another reason to bash liberals.
Oh and it is not just liberals that see the Tea Party as a fringe group. Many conservatives feel the same.
Regardless of that two wrongs don't make a right. There is no excuse for dragging someone's family into a political argument.

True but there is no need to insult people in the firsrt place. If you are going to point out one wrong, you should point them all out, not take sides based on your political views. It is no better coming from a conservative than it is from a liberal. She asked why people liberals see the Tea Party as extreme, I answered her "honest question" honestly and she inslutled me. If you can't stand the heat, stay out the kitchen.
Tea Party seems to not comprehend Constitutional process of a bill to law. It's because "I say so" rhetoric instead, which is NOT "following" the Constitution at all!
Smaller debt can never be achieved with no taxes, do the math.
Less taxes can only be achieved by three things:
1) No deficit
2) Laws of Congress
3) death
Less govt. in our lives means less "We the people" , less representation, less or no Constitution.
OK.
revenue - spending = deficit/surplus
Increasing revenue reduces the deficit.
Revenue is increased when the economy expands...nuf said about that.
Cutting spending reduces the deficit.
Lots of people are talking about across the board spending cuts. Seems like a reasonable approach.
I would like to see our corporate tax rates decreased since this would spur economic expansion faster than anything else. Besides, you can't "stimulate" a fundamentally flawed (over taxed)economy. The one-two punch of increased revenue combined with across the board spending cuts would effectively drive down deficits.

No disagreement here that there is no need for insults.
I'm not taking sides based on my political views. As I stated earlier dragging someone's family into a political argument is in my opinion unacceptable.
So.....because the message isn't clear enough for you, that equates to "extremism"; seriously? Using your logic, everytime Obama goes off teleprompter I can hardly understand a thing he says, so he too must be extreme. Surely you can do better than that.
Yeah tea party members are just a bunch of dummies that cant figure out how much is taken out of their check and how much they pay in other taxes.
Its also about the new taxes coming.
Also lets not pretend that Bush had this really high approval rating.
Obama is talking about making changes to soc sec also. It's going to have to be dealt with. What do you wish us do pretend its all good and that it will be around forever.
So you think its extreme thinking that people should be responsible for their life? How is that extreme? I never thought I'd see the day that people think being responsible for your life is extreme. Holy Cow
Would you like to live in a communist country?
You avoided all my points to spout typical Righty nonsense. I just hope everyone you love makes $100K plus AND doesn't get unlucky with their health or safety.
