Aren't you a wildly spending on your imported Ethopian Coffee beans?

Then that would make you an elitist progressive coffee drinker then by your logic.

Put your coffee where your mouth is.

This is about debate discussion and problem solving, not rift making partisan name calling.

LOL! I almost choked on my coffee!

Quote from the Coffee Party Facebook page:

We come from all walks of life. We want a government that responds to
the needs of ordinary Americans. We are calling on our fellow Americans
to join us for open, civil dialog and constructive civic participation
no matter what their current political dispositions are. Our representatives in Washington ought to know that we are struggling out here as they play an endless football game with our future.

People who actually want to talk about the issues and figure out a way to fix them, not just yell and scream about the guv'ment and 'freedom' and socialism without actually offering any alternatives.

I really hope this takes off
"takes off"?? It just a propaganda wing of 0bama. If you want to hear 0bama's ideas you do not need them from an 0bama front group, you can just listen to 0bama. And if the democrat leadership still has daily planning sessions with MoveOn and The Daily Kos, you can just read from their web sites.

But go ahead, and let me know if this group comes up with anything that conflicts with or opposes the 0bama's agenda or his policies, because all I think you will see from these hacks is just a regurgitation of the 0bama agenda.

do you think the Lyndon Larouche democrats will be welcomed to attend their meetings, while carrying their 0bama as Hitler posters?

The founder of the Coffee Party was not a former campaign staffer. She was an unpaid volunteer. Check the facts.
FACT CHECK: Did Annabel Park work for the Obama campaign? | Coffee Party

And how does the fact that she was an Obama supporter devalue what she is attempting to do with this grassroots Coffee Party group? The Tea Party was started by former Bush and Republican party loyalists. Do you devalue what they do because their beginnings were rooted in partisan politics?

ahh.... the difference is, I am spending my own money and not yours.

you progressives like to sit around and find ways to spend other people’s money.

NO I am not an elitist progressive coffee drinker. but in typical liberal fashion you are certainly working on finding some way to create hypocrisy.

and in liberal fashion you fail to grasp reality.

I'm not an Obama supporter, and neither is the person who told me about the Coffee Party.

We are people who don't give a crap what party the person in office belongs too....if they're doing something we think is detrimental to this nations health then we will stand up and try do do something.

Not just stand on a corner with 'OBAMA MEANS WHITE SLAVERY' posters....
