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?
because anyone trying to come up with new ways to spend other peoples money has decreasing value.

SPENDING IS BAD....as a general rule...

You obviously haven't spent any time on the Coffee Party's website. If you do check it out, you'll realize how ignorant your statement is.

It may not be fair to doubt their sincerity, but I doubt them because I know the political games 0bama and his people play. I'll believe they are not devoted 0bama supporters when I see them come out with opposing views from those of 0bama's talking points or agenda.

I am going to the St Pete meeting. Will see. Hoping there will be rational discussion, something severely lacking in what I have seen from the TP.

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.
People coming together at their local coffee joints, purchasing their own coffees and discussing politics like actual mature adults is spending you money how again?
Talk about not being firmly rooted in reality pal.
I hope for your sake your beans are decaffeinated.

Bahahahah lol .... Fact Check is known to be so liberal biased that usually liberals won't even use it as a source, because they know they'll only be laughed at. hahahah hahahaha BTW, you can say the same about snopes. Both have been caught making "mistakes" repeatedly. Hmmmmm, , and it always seems to be when it has ANYTHING to do with Obama and his agenda.

Also, the Coffee Party and Annabel Parks were ousted a long time ago. There are no ifs, ands, or buts regarding the connection between the Coffee Party and the Obama Administration.

please see my previous post....

i have clearly said, IF they want to curb spending I am for them...
and if they want more spending I hope they can only get folgers to dring (swill)


so on one point you are right, I dont know what they want.

but I have not directly said they are progressives as I do not know.

A bunch of us went onto their Facebook page to actually "try" to have a civil conversation about Obama's Healthcare Plan, and as soon as you say ANYTHING about not liking it for any certain reason, all of a sudden, EVERBODY on their starts calling you a "racist", "Tea Bagger", "NeoCon", and a lot more vulgar names. And if you try to have a sincere conversation about trying to get our government back on the right course, you'd better not say ANYTHING bad about Obama, or you'll get the same name calling and vulgar responses. So, there's their/your "civil discourse"!!!
