  • You want a majority of people participating? I want a majority of people making an educated decision on wether or not they'll participate. If they don't know what the candidates stand for, or don't have any of their own political views, it's like flipping a coin to vote.

  • It doesn't hurt matters either , that Ms Park happens to be attractive ( See San Francisco District 6 Supervisor , Jane Kim , also.).

  • IF YOU FIND MISTAKES IN MY WRITTING, MEANS THAT YOU ACTUALLY READ IT, THANK YOU!

  • ABOUT TIME THAT SOMEONE IS PUTTING SOME POLITICAL SENSE INTO THE AMERICAN MINDS. FRIENDLY AND PEACEFUL OPPOSITION, YES; ANIMOSITY AND VIOLENCE, NO! IN THE TRADITON OF JEFFERSON, MADISON, LINCOLN, TRUMAN(WHO DISEGREGATED THE MILITARY) AND KING, WE AS AMERICANS SHOULD WALK THE PATH OF THE DEMECRATIC PROCESS. IF WE DO NOT STATE OUR VIEWS BY VOTING, WE SHOULD NOT STATE OUR COMPLAINS BY CRYING.....

  • You are so wrong, Tea Party definitely don't want to be 3rd party. If you want to know why don't you ask them instead of the bias news stations lies

  • Keep the tea party movement out of your mouth. You're 100% wrong when you say and presume the tea party activists are trying to start a 3rd party... we simply want the republican party back to their conservitive roots. RP/RP2012

    If you acknowledge that tea party activists are saying you don't vision the movement correctly, why are you even speaking?

    Is this a joke?

  • @loopholehhp She wasn't there to talk about the tea party. She was asked about it

  • Coffee party like the tea pary. I get it, i get it.

  • Hello!!! " come together as a community and practice the democratic process" Get your fingers out of your ears

  • Just read into who funds these assholes to see who they serve....

  • tea baggers are a joke. should be going after the corps like bp not the government as long as they cashing out politicians this will forever be a puppet democracy. and for anyone saying tea baggers are not violent how bout palin and her "dont retreat, reload" ????? i dont care what you say that sends ONE and only ONE message.

  • Wow, you really don't know your history, or anything about the Tea Party. We are a republic. Get it right. The talks of violence come from the left, and their projection of what they are trying to make the Tea Party out to be. The media furthers this by thei bias. So naive. Time to read the Constitution, read real history books, perhaps the new text books in Texas.

  • @mothersdream So are you 3/5ths of a human being under the constitution? I hope you have your guns ready for when a militia needs to be formed against those British coming to drill-baby-drill in our oceans. Those arsehole Brits and their sending 20k troops to defeat the French for you then expecting you to pay a fraction of the costs over time, bah.

    Though I do get the sense that this is a facetious, sarcastic commentary on the idiocy of the stereotype Tea Partier.

  • @3wsgabav3 A bit slow on the uptake aren't you?!

  • @mothersdream How do you figure?

  • @3wsgabav3 I was poking fun at you. Got your attention didn't it? Your comments made no sense. The woman in the video is a dunce. She has no idea of what she is talking about.

  • @mothersdream I assumed your previous comment was an affirmative response to my "Though I do get the sense that this is a facetious, sarcastic commentary on the idiocy of the stereotype Tea Partier." with the implication that by saying that last I was slow to come to the correct understanding of your original comment.

    Seeing as your most recent response seems to suggest your original comment was sincere, could you please explain your position as I don't understand what it is.

  • @mothersdream The talks of violence come from the left when Sharon Angle is talking about "exercising our 2nd Amendment rights" against the government? When Tea Partiers are bringing signs saying "I didn't bring my gun (this time)"? When Sarah Palin's painting targets all over Democrat's houses and people are saying they're coming to town hall meetings armed? Why are guns even involved in this movement? Just because you have the right to speak doesn't mean I have to listen.

  • I'm trying to figure out how she can believe that the tea parties are uncivil and destructive since they use the same methods of those used during the civil rights movement. It's humorous to hear the same thing from democrats closely linked to violent TERRORISTS like to William Ayers.

  • She is way off base about the TEA Party...I have been to one gathering and there wasn't even an inkling of violence and yes there were Democrats and Republicans alike and yes even Blacks. We are not for social justice just civil justice.

  • @kathyndan2 oooh "EVEN" blacks?!? Wow. You betray more than you know. fool.

  • @kathyndan2 I know right. At the g20 protest police cars were set on fire within the first hour, can you imagine if the tea party did that and what the media would do?

  • Ugh. Politics has always been contentious and adversarial and thats not going to change for the Coffee Party. Of course the progressives in power want a quiet unemotional, and overly polite debate. Loud, vigorous, and demanding opponents are difficult to ignore.

    The Coffee Party itself has nothing new to offer and is just another 'progressive' group supporting a 'progressive' agenda. Park herself has long been a Obama supporter. YOu can bet conservative POV aren't welcome in her Coffee Party.

  • "The Federal Government is the only apparatus we have for collective decision making" There it is in a nutshell.

  • Why does Ms. Park think/say that the tea party movement wants to form another political party?

  • @teamrn Because all she know of the TEA Party comes from Washington Post and New York Times.

  • Here is the difference between the two: Tea Party is 90% angry white Americans that feel disenfranchised because they feel their power is waning. Coffee Party is a logical progressive movement that wants to fight for real change in Washington for equality, healhcare, the environment and Wall Street reform.

  • Has anyone heard anything about the Coffee Party??? After their first meeting they kinda faded away. Annabel Park is what happens when women dont marry. She views govt as a surrogate husband.

  • The problem with the coffee party mvt is that the Dems are already in power. How does one motivate people to a movement that is already in power? Obama is destroying this great country with his socialist programs. Democracy is alive and well and the Dems will be losing across the country in November

  • @yellowman5084 kinda' like a bully on the playground, huh?

  • you need to change your name. with all due respect, i laughed and thoughtt it was a joke when i heard there's a "Coffee party".... too close to the stupid/racist tea partiers.

  • The changes that need to be made are really few and simple. One is the ending of all prohibitions. They have enumerated into the constitution "intoxicating" and "liquors", and according to our ninth amendment, the other intoxicants retainded by the people should also be open commerce. One payer health is another step, and one more major step I hope someone else can chime in with.

  • @coffeepartyusa I've learned history because fools continue to believe they can defy it.

  • We ARE the government. Working WITH them makes no sense. You feel there are two different things here. This is what is really bad.

  • The coffee party was founded by Alex Jones, not this Obama campaigner and operative. Try realcoffeeparty(dot)com - it was hijacked almost as soon as he created it... much like the tea party movement and palin. Why don't we just argue with one another until the country is gone... race pimps.

  • I love the idea of a counter party to the teabaggers. But the coffee party will fail if it has speakers like this. I listened and switched off. I could care less about her rambling. If the coffee party is going to do real good it's going to need to say things in a short, clear, and concise way. What this lady takes to say in 3 mins, the opposition could say in a sentence. The coffee party will fail if it seeks to fight irrational emotion with rational dialogue.

  • How do you account for statistics that show there are more political independents and moderates in this country than there are members of the two major political parties? It breaks down precisely as it always has, in the shape of a bell curve with the middle being the largest.

  • Statistics are worthless. They can be skewed very easily by what questions are asked, who asks them and how they are asked, not to mention who is asked the questions. Revolutions start because some one who is more dedicated to their cause than the next guy picks up a gun and starts shooting those of a differing opinion. Then the Moderates are left to join what ever side is closest to their personal beliefs or they bend them to suit those around them. Either way they are forced to choose a side.

  • @coffeepartyusa but the moderates are swinging heavily against the current administration. The libs like yourself are out.

  • @coffeepartyusa its interesting that you make this comment. I want to know what a "moderate" actually is. Each person is extreme in their own right, and perspective. How they act out the extremities, is another story. Coffee party runs into this problem: it is an organized group. Tea Party is just random groups of people that are not really affiliated with each other, and often times, have differing political opinions based on cultural differences and perspective (obvious.)

  • @coffeepartyusa When you see a televised "Tea Party Event," and a media celebrity like Palin is a key speaker, that is only a small percentage of people that like Palin in the Tea Party. Furthermore, many of these events use the term "Tea Party," and recieve media attention because a "celebrity" is attending. Constitutionalists, Libertarians, and Independants, which make up the majority of real live tea baggers, do not see Palin as being fit, nor as a good option for the change we seek.

  • @hobo59 with that simplistic B/W-thinking you ough to be a conservative.

  • @hobo59 yeah i think so to, right now its eggs and signs next it will be 50 cal machine guns ive always wanted to go to a tea party event to see whats its all about but the way things are going not sure

  • @hobo59 Where are all these irrelavant parties comming from. Whats next the Coolade Party?

  • @TheNewUSB There's already a Koolaid Party - it's called Organizing for America...

  • @kababayanC2 A republic is a form of democracy.

    Here is the dictionary definition:

    government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.

    2.

    a state having such a form of government: The United States and Canada are democracies.

    3.

    a state of society characterized by formal equality of rights and privileges.

    4.

    political or social equality; democratic spirit.

  • I could be mistaken here but as a member of both coffee and tea parties I see them BOTH having elements that are necessary for changing the system from business not as usual but as it has become. Rational dialog is essential and the reason the tea party is being viewed as it currently is has to to with the element of time. Time vs. change vs. patience. vs fear of our own apathy / inaction and lack of involvement /participation thus far.

  • NIce thoughts, Annabel,

    Democracy is the correct antidote to the totalitarian Anti-American Tea baggers.

  • Well, let's take that logic a step further. If everyone who supported Barack Obama in 2008 is disqualified for any type of civic participation in 2010, that would be 53% of voters. In the spirit of bipartisanship, we should also disqualify the 47% of voters who supported John McCain. This would mean that the spirit of volunteerism and civic participation is restricted to Ralph Nader voters, Bob Bar voters, and those who did not vote at all. Not my idea of a democracy.

  • Good - stepping back and apart from the party system will be helpful IF all are mindful of speaking carefully, but more importantly listening carefully, to avoid the rhetoric presented by those parties. Then, all are welcome to participate; all are welcome to disagree-without-being-disagre­eable; and, as a result, all are welcome to vote the issues, vote the parties, vote the candidates, or vote the ideologies as they will.

  • @1stAmendmentChannel,

    I don't see her being an Obama supporter and the spokesperson for the Coffee Party being a problem.

    From what she has said so far, the Coffee Party is not about promoting one ideology or political party over another.

    It is more about engaging people to participate civilly in political discourse and to play a more active role in politics beyond voting.

    Of course she has her own political view points, but so will everyone else who participates in this movement.

  • @blueBlackpurple I am not saying anything bad about her I am just saying that she was on Obamas campain and I have the video of her standing behind him... I am just saying for those who saw the video and the ones who may might think they are being fooled again that's all... Might be a liability to the coffee movement...

  • @1stAmendmentChannel,

    Some people might be hesitant to join the Coffee Party because she campaigned for Obama, but I would argue to those people that it should not matter.

    I'm sure she will get criticism from the right because of her personal politics and from the left for not starting a progressive movement. I think both sides are missing the point about what the Coffee Party is all about.

    Its not about party affiliation or ideology.

    It is about civil dialogue and involvement.

  • That's not accurate, and see there in lies the problem. We are spending way to much time discussing theories that could easily be dismissed with just a little bit of fact checking. Millions of Americans volunteered for Presidential candidates in 2008. This is not a disqualification for civic engagement, ON THE CONTRARY, it is a good qualification. Those who were informed and involved before Jan. 20, 2009 have more perspective, more context, and more awareness of past polices.

  • what if she did support Obama? I supported Obama and I still do.

  • @SuperKixxx Because too many people are not agreeing with him or how he is doing things, have you seen his approval rating... Don't say that approval ratings don't mean a thing because we will see how accurate they are in 2012... Maybe he can turn it around but I really don't see him able to do it without doing something major or drastic for the Citizens and not the rich... But just my opinion... take care...

  • @1stAmendmentChannel I base my approval of Obama on what he does, not on what some poll says I should think.

  • Comment removed

  • @SuperKixxx Before Obama was President, which aspects of his congressional history drew you to him the most?

  • @1stAmendmentChannel,

    From what I've heard so far, the Coffee Party is about bringing people with different views together to have a civil and

    productive conversation with themselves and their political representatives.

    So far I support what they are trying to do

    because that is a much better way to discuss issues than yelling and screaming at each other.

    We will not agree with each other on all issues, and that is fine, but at least we can try to at least understand one another.

  • @blueBlackpurple I agree...I am sorry I was up for 23 1/2 hrs putting together a coming home party for my MMA fighter...Peace...

  • @1stAmendmentChannel what has he done that he promised? uh...healthcare reform? Leaving Iraq? Let's not forget the big surprise economic meltdown bush handed him as a door prize when he walked in. People criticize him for doing too much and you say he is doing nothing?
