Dick Armey is no "godfather of the Tea Party."

He's actually a infiltrator, and co-opter, nothing but a phony. They have corrupted the message of the Tea Party, which was originally to cut the size of the bloated government.

Ron Paul is the godfather of the real Tea Party.

This is FRAUD of the highest order. 1st this douchebag is NOT the God father of the Tea Party, that would be RON PAUL!! 2nd, he only touched on one Libertarian talking point. "We're about individual Liberty, Personal Freedom & everybody free to do their own thing." Translation: Freedom, freedom & oh yeah freedom! Maybe he needs a lesson on some other talking points, like Limited government, obeying the constitution. This is an obvious implant, he sounds like a mafia boss. Dumb shit he is!! FRAUD

@likeabillionbucks To continue this discussion properly, I ask that at least read the first chapter of "The Starfish and the Spider," it is impossible to make a complex and reasoned argument in 500 characters, or less.

Thank goodness the Tea Party has finally dropped all the nonsense about lower taxes, smaller government, less spending,Liberty , and integrity. I mean really those things have not gotten to where we are today. Personally i'm not sure why they don't just embrace Barrack Obama he is the best Big Government president money can buy.He is also the best War president we have ever had. Why vote for the clones Romney and Gingrich when you can have the real thing. War is peace and freedom is over rated !

[rockwaterman]

Notice how he dances around the question of why he isn't backing Ron Paul? Dick Armey was part of the Republican scramble to get ahead of the Tea Party Movement and hijack it before it could become a formidable enemy of the NeoCons. He has absolutely NO authority to speak for Tea Partiers, and NO crediblity.

Dick Armey has set himself against us. Beware the usurpers.

@CounterRevolutionary That is a good theory except that without a leader to tell the body what to do then the body (of people) will not do anything. There needs to be coordination. Look at an actual guerrilla leader that accomplished the overthrow of the establishment government; Fidel Castro lead his army to victory. Or another example; George Washington lead his army to victory. The Establishment prefers that there is no leader because a movement without unity is nothing

[CounterRevolutionary]

@likeabillionbucks You should read the book, "The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations." Grassroots, guerrilla movements need to be leaderless to survive co-opting by establishment agents. The starfish represents the leaderless movement; it has no head, and when you cut off one of its arms, it regenerates. When you cut off the head of a spider, or a movement with a leader, the body dies.

What a disgusting individual this guy is! Its unbelievable that he states "We want a small government conservative" and ignores Ron Paul. This "Oh we want another candidate in the field" is nothing but a distraction and simply reality tv-ifying the process. Ron Paul isn't ahead because YOU AREN'T BACKING HIM!!! talk about a circular argument...

[Vertigo2903]

Ron Paul started the original Tea Party on December 16, 2007. The day where he raised 6 million in a day. It was highjacked by the neocons. The original tea party was a revolt against the entire political system and the two major parties from everything from wars, debt, civil liberties etc..

[likeabillionbucks]

He is a plant there to make sure that there is no leader to the tea party movement. This is what the globalist banksters want. They want a movement that is decapitated or without a head. Same thing happens with the Occupy wall streeters. They go out of their way to NOT to rally behind one leader and instead do weak consensus democracy speeches. They like the Tea partiers end up without a condensed vision and as a result are fractured and weak movements that aren't a threat to the establishment
