"GOP 2012: Pledging Allegiance to the Tea Party"

[MeVinson37]

They all raised their hands saying they would not raise taxes for the RICH who got 7 cuts during the Bush administration. Obama said he would not raise taxes for the middle class.

[clubindiana4]

What has the Tea Party accomplished?

[MrMalcolm900]

@clubindiana4 Getting our candidates elected, changing the conversation in Washington, challenging the status Quo and educating ourselves on the constitution and capitalism, thats what we accomplished. What did OWS accomplish?

[clubindiana4]

@MrMalcolm900 "What did OWS accomplish?"

I hadn't really placed the Tea Party on the same level as some stoners camping in parks.....but, you do raise a valid point.

Challenges and education are great....but, nobody needs to join a club to educate themselves or challenge an elected official.

The Tea Party is linked to a congress with the worst record in history. Asking what solid accomplishment the Tea Party can attach its name too seems like a valid question. I'm not hating....

[AlbertInSanAntonio]

same old class war fair, They went after cain rite away, They cant have a black man, runing for the republic side, or there pathetic class war wont work rite for them, Liberals lie to them selfs,

[sfafasfasfsa]

thanks brett baier i knew when he asked that question that they would run with it your make mitt and huntsman look stupid and gave the election away. its hard to be proud moderate republican.

we need a David Cameron.

[notoriousrogue]

VOTING REPUBLICAN ACROSS THE BOARD. GOD BLESS THE TEA PARTY.

[goodkarme]

D=R=Tea if you think your party is some how better you have no understanding of all parties get hijacked Ron Paul 2012 not because hes a R not because im a D but because I base my vote on CONTENT!!!!!!!11

[DegaVertigo]

I'm just starting to watch the ACTUAL footage of the Tea Party debate and they've been talking about the "middle class" and how the "middle class" is and will be affected by the addressed issues.

There is no audio in this video because it would disprove the poster's claims!

Next time watch for yourselves, don't take a liar's word as truth!!!!!!!!!!!!

[luvitluvitbaby]

Funny, they all raised there hands, but now their in favor of letting the payroll tax cut expire for those making $160k a year or less LOL!

What a bunch of assholes!

[cromagnan]

The reason you won't hear them mention middle class is because they think of themselves as Royalty and you the middle class...are the "little people" Put a Republican in the White House again and you will find out just how TRUE this is

[destrecht]

They act as if the tea party is anything but the average american worker. These liars have twisted the tea party into some boogeyman. When you drive down the street and see someone working- that's the tea party. When look at your neighbors, they are the tea party. When you look at me- an average working schmoe- I am the tea party, and for once in my life, it's nice to have a politician actually care about me and the average working american, because that is what the tea party is.

[fangedcricket12]

just puttin it out there, the tea party is the midlle class just sayin. its not the poor they dont have any money to tax its not the rich cause they can hide their money in overseas banks or land. which leaves, you guessed it, the average joe shmoe.

[aaamerican2]

@fangedcricket12 Is that why the Koch Brothers paid for all the bused in Tea Partiers.... and Rick Santenelli from wall street said he wants to start a Tea Party.

Face it Wall Street and the Banks, and big oil, have been behind alot of what the Tea Party has done.... if it is really anything.

Can anyone name something the Republicans have done, except hate on Government...... where were they while Bush was starting illegal wars, over lies? Oh thats right you guys are Bush voters

[fangedcricket12]

ive looked up both the Koch Brothers and Rick Santenelli.so the brothers fund it right?a shaddy oil executive funding the tea party.Have you heard of George Soros?he is the shaddy hedge fund executive that funds the democratic party.we can pull shaddy funding thoeries out of our asses too.give me concrete proof.as for Santenelli,i cant find him.i found a santelli but he's a CNBC commentator.As for Bush he was a globalist.i didnt like him either.btw 'Thomas Payne' on youtube started the TP.

[fangedcricket12]

@aaamerican2 Paine not Payne, my bad

[m530bc]

This is proof you have to be brain dead to vote RepBullCrapiCon$. These RepBullCrapiCon$ Pres canidates do not seem to understand this basic gov function

[NanoEmpyrean]

Now, I know one's experiences shouldn't always be correlated to the mass population. But in the case of the U.S. economy and GNP/Debt ratio the numbers seem to agree.

I admire the spirit of the TeaParty. I just think they are fighting over the wrong issues.

[sgapplebee]

FACT: The idiot president before THIS idiot president added nearly 2 billion dollars A DAY to our debt. However, the idiot in office RIGHT NOW is adding over 4 billion dollars A DAY to our debt.

Both are idiots, but obviously, one is more than twice the idiot as the other.

[sgapplebee]

It's amazing how fucking STUPID Democrats are. And even more amazing is how stupid they think the American people are.

[Mplay1983]

@sgapplebee - you've blinded me with the facts. I'm on your side, LOL. I'm assuming you make over $250K a year, if that's the case. Then, I understand why you don't like the democrats.

[sgapplebee]

@Mplay1983 ,

Look at my videos, does it look like I make $250k a year? I take it you collect a government check? Welfare? Soc.Sec.? Post office? I guess we'll never know because, like most other ignorant liberals who post, you don't have the BALLS to use your REAL name. Are you just afraid to show how stupid you are? Or are you simply a Coward?

[Jeffro288]

@sgapplebee are you being sarcastic idk...

[sgapplebee]

@Jeffro288 '

First sentence, yes. The rest, no.

[samiemma]

These Republicans are corporate whores.

[inmotion86]

The Tea Party will destroy America if given the chance. When the inmates run the asylum...

[alphacause]

The Tea Party has come out with its official theme song. Here it is:

watch?v=BvJdr_HHwYM

[greensoccerballz]

Clinton sent all our factories to china.

[DocRocz]

Bill Maher said it best, "I can understand the top two or three percent voting republican because their whole agenda is geared toward making this group richer, but any average working person that votes republican is a complete dumbass.".

[bobster451]

The GOP is retarded and out of touch with America.

[hollywoodt00]

Dogmatic, irrational, delusional, irresponsible, stubborn, so firmly entrenched in a fanatical policy that they couldn't take a ten to one deal. They would turn down 90 cents for 10 cents? They would turn down 90 billion dollars for 10 billion dollars? They would allow millions of Americans to suffer for the sake of the top 10 percent and yet come election day Fox News viewers will still vote for them and they will somehow feel justified by doing so? Only in America. . .

[TBird4490]

@hollywoodt00 Agreed. It angers me to see such uninformed people in this country. Derp derp I vote Republican, i'm so important and part of a much bigger picture.

i HONESTLY feel you should have to pass some sort of test to vote a congressman/woman into office and/or the President.

RID THE STUPID IGNORANT AND UNINFORMED PEOPLE FROM THE VOTING SYSTEM.

[Stingerbillion]

I can't believe these Republicans are such lunatics it's not even funny. I am glad they're doing this so people can be off taken by them. Thank you stupid Republicans/Teabaggers! I am also applauded that Democrats, having majority of people supporting them regarding their ideas, are such fucking cowards. This country deserves 3rd party. Clearly you have independents who are also fucked up to vote for these lunatics.

[MrChameleon101]

@Stingerbillion SO TRUE ABOUT INDEPENDENTS

[asphyxiafeeling]

@Stingerbillion

aye, i hate the choices... republicans who are insane, but get things done, or democrats who have the right ideas, but are spineless in defending those ideas!

I guess some of the blame has to go to citizen activism... the tea party is WAY tougher on the GOP over issues they care about than progressives are to democrats about the things that really matter to the middle class... maybe if Obama had a "progressive" tea party-like group backing him he could fight back better!

[Stingerbillion]

@asphyxiafeeling You said everything i was thinking of. I completely agree. Liberals are tough but they need to be tougher. People are to blame for what kind of political leaders we have today. If we vote on facts instead of hate and emotions, we can have better future. Right now this country is going through a faze....whether it be lunatics vs sane or solving our fiscal crisis, i truly believe we'll get through this in the long run, but not through Republican/Teabagger policies.

[asphyxiafeeling]

10-1 deal is not good enough for the tea party. these people are fucking insane. delusional, radical, dangerous kooks who'd rather cut funding for education, the poor, and our elderly instead of closing corporate tax loopholes that allow companies like GE to get away with paying *ZERO* in taxes last year!

[MrChameleon101]

@asphyxiafeeling THE MORE THESE CLOWNS KEEP DOING IGNORANCE THE MORE SECURE PRESIDENT OBAMA PRESIDENCY WILL BE. LET THEIR DUMBASSES KEEP DOING IT.

[etzel33]

DP keeps saying "middle class". No mention of the unemployed, people on social security and medicare, a job market that forces wages to the bottom... always as an afterthought. Progressives don't control the DP. They're just as tight with Wall Street as the RP, ever since Clinton. Maybe DP candidates will pledge allegiance to the Coffee Party, but don't hold your breath.

[marvelrobbins]

Rick Perry Isn't an official candiate till saturday which Is way he Isn't there.WHile

I am not happy with Obama after the dedt deal all the republicans would be worse.

[WeirdLiberalHead]

The Tea Party is now in control of the Republican Party, both of which are controlled by international mega-corporations such as Exxon Mobil and Koch Industries!

[kellersthecoolest]

This ad is misleading, because there was a GOP candidate NOT on that stage. I'm speaking of Rick Perry. I expected better from the DNC oppo research team.

[draoi99]

Dems and Repubs are two sides of the same party - the Corporate Party. Cenk Uygur was fired from MSNBC after complaints from Washington. If people really want social justice in America, they need to try something else.

[MrChameleon101]

@draoi99 PREACH!!!

[Fringe111]

[judoyodan]

@Fringe111, let's try to keep our eye on the big picture, shall we?

[jtimester]

well no thats not necessarily true. I heard middle class like once in the debate. but still its only once.
