The change in the Tea Party Movement...no longer grassroots and hijacked by NeoCons

[InKa4484]

If Fox news didn't control the tea party they might have been successful.

[TheJoelef]

yet the eta part who supposly love the constitution want to go TO THE GOVERNMENT and ban mosque. That violate private propert rights, religious freedom and freedom of assembly.

[y2zgt]

Even though I don't agree with Paul I don't think he would ruin our country like most of the "tea party" candidates would/will.

[untomatchi]

Koch Bros were heavily involved with glen beck/tea party rally.

[patriotfreedomfigher]

we need a 3rd party to make a strong rise, and soon. i dont like some of the ideas such as ralph nadars ideas but hell id vote for him anyday compaired to most democrats and republicans for sure (with rand and ron paul excluded from that statement of coarse). im sick of fox news holding the tea party out like a prize they snatched from a baby. damn neocons.

[manmanguy]

Bigtime hijacked. What a fuckin shame.

[LordVigeous666999]

I looked into the nwo stuff. And like all conspiracy theories, you correctly identify the dots to a puzzle, but the way you connect the dots is nonsensical

put another way, all conspiracy theories are missing just enough facts to completely mis-understand the situation)

Thanks for the Zionist Ferengi joke, that was pretty good, lol. Good to see we can disagree but still have fun

[LordVigeous666999]

you nwo people should definitely leave the tea party, in fact, not just the party, you should probably just leave

you guys are nuts, yeah a couple hundered jewish bankers are taking over the world, sure they are

[TheMango121]

hehehe... I'm sooooooo voting for Obama if a neo-con mouthpiece gets the nomination.

[babaluboo123]

I love the Paulist philosophy, unfortunately, the Libertarian Party has always attracted a whole lot of nuts...or should I say...a lot of people who have no coherent philosophy..., too....which makes it an east butt of jokes.

[4149stonepony]

tea party movement is a republican funded movement by dick morris. i hope more people join the tea party movement because it will show the utter ignorance of these goof balls. Where was this movement during the budget busting bush years....

[goldrays]

All that is exactly why there need's to be a web site just for political runners, that way everyone can look at the voting history and storys of those who want our votes. This way they wont be able to trick anyone anymore, and we can vote for honest good God fearing people once again.

[MidNiteR32]

The 'Tea Party Movement' is now controlled opposition. Thanks to the morons who let Sarah Failin, and other cons take control of the movement.

When you have RepubliCONS trying to infiltrate the movement, that should raise some flags. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

[drewstarr71]

OMG! The NeoCon's are creating distrust here...OK people get your head out your azz and kick ALL those NeoCon's out of the Tea Party and MAKE this movement work! Take back our Government and our Country....We the People can do this!....YES WE CAN!!!

[drewstarr71]

OMG! The NeoCon's are creating distrust here...OK people get your head out your azz and kick ALL those NeoCon's out of the Tea Party and MAKE this movement work! Take back our Government and our Country....We the People can do this!....YES WE CAN!!!

[tbeezy1]

Its a damn shame how the republican GOP neo-con shit heads take over a legit movement. Now its a joke.. Getting called teabaggers. Sad. Very Sad.

[mongoose704]

We can only hope that the failure of the Obama administration will complete, in the eyes of the public, the total failure of the two party system.

The Ron Paul movement shows that there is a sizabe chunk of Republicans that are not adequately represented by their party.

Is such a movement happening among the Democrats? I always though Kucinich was their Ron Paul.

[AStarSpangledGirl]

@GilaTomster Actually Gila....at least here in So Cal...we are fighting SUPER hard to not let ANY party be part of the movement. Grassroots started it and grassroots is rejecting the Republican party.

[metroid101]

of course it was hijacked.FOX news couldnt keep its hands off of such powerful vehicle to promote such an ignorant mudslinging fest.

the "tea parties" are just hurds of ignorant republican voters who don't have any integrity ,they promote the hate of Obama instead of just hating the problem itself....

[AStarSpangledGirl]

@metroid101 Wrong...not all of us are. The ones called in by Fox might be...but the ORIGINAL tea party movement was started by LIBERTATIANS and the hate is not for Obama but for the SOCIALIST MOVEMENT SCUM.

HUGE difference.

Me thinks YOU are the ignorant one.

[Xenthoid]

@AStarSpangledGirl actually its not socialist but facist (corporatism)..

[tripfunkmonster]

@AStarSpangledGirl: Who & where are the socialists? I read about people being afraid of them (on the internet), but have no idea who they are. What are their names? They couldn't have power here, in a Capitalist society, because they have no money. How could they present a problem to us without the money to buy power? Could someone please explain this to me? I don't understand.

[mongoose704]

That is exactly what they are now. It's the TEABAGGER movement, not the teaparty movement.

Before, when it was the teaparty movement, it was about freedom, peace and prosperity.

The Republican party needs to abandon the spirit of hate. Thanks for listening to a Republican.

[LibertaerUeberAlles]

I concur with those who say Beck and Palin are shills for Israel. Really bad for the Tea Party movement. Don't even let those two-NeoCons in the door.

[cervantessssssssssss]

Ron Paul should publicly kick Palin in the teeth.

[mongoose704]

Palin is geared toward the mediocre center right. The flag waving, burger chomping, reality TV watching, hockey mom churchgoing sect who has just enough intelligence to convey to the public what they intend but not enough to offend "reglar folks."

Oh for the day when I was comforted by the fact that candidates were truly smarter than I am. Even those I would never vote for comforted me in the fact that they were still smarter than me.

[1tubedout]

Glen and the rest of faux news never gave Ron Paul any credit. They are now preaching small government and audit the fed and many other topics of RP was mentioning for some time now. The only person that respects RP is Cavuto.

[AStarSpangledGirl]

1tube...AGREED!!! What pisses me off the most is when Glenn Beck says..."Why isn't anyone else talking about this?" As if HE is the one that made the discovery and meanwhile hijacking everything Dr Paul has been saying. Grrr.

[kappy0405]

the real truthers need to start campaigning for Mr. Paul ASAP! There's no reason to wait until 2012. The truth movement can only be hijacked if we let it.

[jayrod59]

You know Glenn Beck has a big voice in this tea party movement now and he will back Sarah Palin, not Ron Paul. Beck is a wolf in sheep's clothing and even though he says a lot of good things, I do not trust him. He calls himself a Libertarian but I believe he is just another Neo-con.

[AStarSpangledGirl]

AGREED jayrod

[britishjohn04]

You know, I totally agree...I like a lot of what he says but there is also a nagging feeling of mistrust for him in the back of my mind. I'll keep watching him but always with an open mind and with the mantra of 'trust no one'.

[britishjohn04]

I was referring to Beck by the way, not the great Dr Paul.

[bull864]

exactly. beck wasn't talking about auditing the fed and libertarianism until AFTER the election. Where was he during the republican primary? he sure as hell wasn't supporting ron paul.

[LordVigeous666999]

yes he was, look at the interview he had with paul

I don't know if he actively pushed for him to get elected, but it was one of the best interviews paul had, and glenn clearly agreed with him

Whether he thought he had enough of a chance to win, to actually push his candidacy, is different

[bull864]

@LordVigeous666999 I just don't know with Beck. Sometimes, he really does a great job bringing subjects to light but other times, he is off his rocker. I hope he is genuine with his current take on things but he still supports our involvement in the Middle-East which is discouraging.

Beck like everyone else should support the candidate who they think would do the best job, not the candidate who has the best chance of winning.

[LordVigeous666999]

Well I didn't watch Beck enough on CNN headline, to really know where he stood, which is why I left it open ended

As far as what I did see, he did support paul, but again, thats based off very little viewing, so, I can't really commit to it

And I'm a libertarian, and I support our actions in the mid east. You have too look at the history of terrorism / islamo fascism, its been going on for 50 years, there is plenty to look at

[LordVigeous666999]

As far as I'm concerned, we've tried Pauls idea of ignore them and hope they go away, and it appears to not have worked

We've tried engaging, and that has not worked. The only time I've seen them co-operate with us, is when we have tanks on their boarder (Iran stopped their nuclear program in 2003, just after we had marched straight through afgan, then went right on to topple saddam and we had tanks on Irans boarder; iran stopped cause they thought they were next)

they seem to understand force

[bull864]

@LordVigeous666999 Frankly, why is an Iranian nuclear program our problem?  Plenty of middle-eastern countries or Israel needs to take care of that problem. We have spent ourselves into oblivion policing the world and giving billions in foreign aid to countries that do nothing for us in return. It's time for a new approach. Our first priority should be shrinking our Government, a massive decrease in spending, and securing our borders. We need to get our house in order before anything else.

[bull864]

@LordVigeous666999 We need to ask the question of why the radical muslims hate the US and the West. I think it's because of our never-ending involvement over there and our blind support of Israel. I think if we brought our troops home and stopped blindly supporting Israel, we could develop a positive relationship with many countries in that part of the world.

[LordVigeous666999]

yeah, paul says that too

As for our "never-ending" involvment, what happens when we tell them to work out their own problems, and we're staying out of it? They say, there is no deal without the US. These are the enemies! They don't want deals with the UN, they don't want deals with Israel, they want deals with the US!

[LordVigeous666999]

Also, look at the 50 years of history, you can find plenty examples of us basically being a paper tiger, and not messing in anything they are doing, and what happens?

The attacks escalate, they target civilians more and they get closer to our homeland. When we fight back, the attacks decrease, are directed at military instead of civilians, and the attacks move away from our homeland

Its kill or be killed, so take your bloody pick

[LordVigeous666999]

Irans nukes are our problem because a branch of their military is a terrorist organization, hezzbolah

They wouldn't use a nuke right away, cause we would be able to put it together, but, I don't like taking that risk

Also, does someone having a gun make you nervous? Not me. Its when they point it at me, or, in the case of iran, are hiding it behind there back. They say they only have a peaceful program, and thats BS, and everyone knows it

[badfinger11123]

What I see here is Sarah Palin taking away votes from Dr. Paul during the primaries of 2012. If she wins the primary, she will lose to Obama, which is what the republican and democratic parties want.

First the rep.'s fall on their sword, then the dem.'s until all the policies of National- Socialism are in place.

[AStarSpangledGirl]

badfinger...great observation!

[iTellYouNoLie]

the neo-cons are trying to scare away the anti-war crowd by trying to "align" themselves with it, that fake convention was just a spectacle for the average person to be scared of the tea-parties, polarize the opposition. they always got a plan...

[crustyshirt]

A lot of the people at the Tparty I went to in Boston last year, on the actual anniversary, were very influenced by Glenn Beck and Jay Severin. But some of the ppl there understood...

[damnationbegins]

I was at the tea party at fanuel hall and rand paul's speech was awesome.

[FreedomCanada2010]

i agree. that wasn't a tea party convention .. that was a republican establishment convention

[Panpiper]

It was a gargantuan strategic mistake to have 'Sarah Pailin' as the keynote speaker at the recent Tea Party convention. It should have been Ron Paul, Rand Paul or Peter Schiff. The convention organizers 'paid' Sarah Palin $100,000.00 to attend! You think maybe they would have been willing to pocket that for themselves if say Ron Paul had offered to speak for free?

[Gunnarsguns]

@Panpiper DISGUSTING!....its been taken over by the fake conservatives....dont fall for it
