How many self identified Tea Party members were once in the Reform Party or voted for Ross Perot? (polls, fence)

They don't. You are believing MSM.

Hmm, I never listen to or read MSM.

Here is Sarah Palin at the Tea Party Convention in 2010, sounds like fawning to me.


YouTube - Sarah Palin Keynote Speech at National Tea Party Convention

No one is fawning over Sarah Palin.

You are showing footage from a past convention. How is that relevant to Sarah Palin's standing today?

So being the Keynote speaker and getting a wild cheering reception is hardy anti-GOP.

I know you want to believe, I had high hopes when Ron Paul's revolution kicked it off, sadly reality has kicked in. She is talking up Scott Brown, another champion of liberty (cough cough)

See my previous post. I am not a moron. Sarah Palin has no relevance at this point in time.

They speak the common sense fiscal conservatism language that appeals to Tea Partiers.

I truly hope you are right but I fear that come election time it will be all Right Wingers as the face of the Tea Party.

Yep, it is the con that has confused the masses for decades. People think that liberty equals conservative. I know a lot of libertarians who fall for the same rhetoric.

The Tea Party is all about fiscal conservatism. It is not about politicians.

What some of you folks need to do is actually go to a TP rally and see what's going on because many of you have no idea what you're actually posting about. You keep reading the media and listening to politicians on the left and the right who lie through their teeth for a living...but worse, you folks spend way to much time reinforcing each others conspiratorial views about the TP through the filter of your own ideologies or outright dismissing what is going on.

You might like what you hear and see.

On the other hand, you can keep bad-mouthing the TP without having a clue as to what is really going and that's ok with me too, because 2012 is going to be a rude surprise for many of you.
