Those hungry children are everywhere, and with the uncertain economy, the numbers are only growing, experts say.
The TEA party is about fiscal responsibility, its not a freaking political party. Just like the environmental movement, or animal rights movement, are very focused movements.

Any of these groups of people can support candidates, it does not mean they are a full blown political party, with a national platform covering everything from soup to nuts.

Funny how the Progressive supporters are asking about what to do about hunger. Why don't you ask the Progressives, it's their policies that cause hunger the world over. Every Communist nation went through their share of a large percentage of their people starving and still do.

Kill her off and collect on the estate, yeah, that'll show her

I'm adopted, my sister is adopted, my brother is adopted, I have about a dozen cousins adopted. Half our family tree is adopted because my family believes greatly in helping those who are innocent victims because their parents are incompetent.

Still waiting for the OP and the other posters to announce what they have done to help others recover from the destructive Democratic policies in existance today..

Why does the Tea Party need to do anything about child hunger? The question should be "what are the parents of those children going to do about it?"

I am a legal Guardian for a Chronic Paranoid Schizophrenic. Got him good mental help. Now he doesn't want to carry big knives anymore and he doesn't have gargoyles chasing him anymore. Never had any kids. Does what you have done make you better than me? The tone you posted with leads me to that wonder.

Default The Tea "Party" is not a political party at all!

I agree! -- It seems like many folks want to bash the 'Tea Party' as though the U.S. suddenly became a 3-party system. These are simply organized people who are sick to death of politicians who offer little more than rhetoric and political slogans .... at a time when we need actual statesmen and leaders!

The Tea Party uses fear and intimidation to achieve political goals. Some members of the Tea Party have threatened government officials and members of the media. The Tea Party is more like a terrorist group.

How about get responsible about our debt so the economy is strengthened and opportunities become available for those responsible for these at risk children have the economic viability to provide for them.

The tone I posted? You are the one starting this ridiculous thread To further reply, you DID ASK what we were doing about child hunger, didnt you? Whats the matter, you didnt expect real life responses and only wanted a thread full of babbling hate against the tea party?
