So many of these "small govt" conservatives want the govt to stay out of their business and gun racks--yet they want the govt involved in the lives of gay & lesbian Americans and pregnant women.

Right on.

“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it comes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group,”

@fatfatat444 Capitalism is NOT destroying America but GREED is! Capitalism allows YOU to go into business if you want.

about the 6 min mark... there ARE law against business being to large to fail. They are the laws against MONOPOLY. We want small gov't in relation to messing with OUR lives. THEY ARE to regulate business.

This dude on the phone founded the Tea Party? Wow. And I only saw Facism from the social side. I mean, I enjoy sociological and culturaul topics like religion and war, but since I graduated school, I've been reading about the Economy. According to my research, government involvement in the economy is good for the economy.

Capitalism is dangerous for society. Capitlism is destroying society. It is against the workers; it is against the people.

political mumbo-gumbo crap: the GOVT and the corporations are allied together against the common people: every time GOVT has become more powerful... it GIVES more power and wealth to... CORPORATIONS

Every time COPORATIONS become more powerful, they GIVE more MONEY and POWER... to the GOVT

This is the revolving door of CORPORATE/GOVT corruption which has been the norm for 200 YEARS which all history books carefully hide from the masses

The Tea Party candidates were and are funded by corporate donars such as the Koch Brothers (pronounced Coke Bros) as they are also bankrolled by other powerful but undisclosed Wall Street entities. I believe you are well meaning in your support but you end up being a tool of the very powers you oppose. I would assume, if you are as against lobbying in politics as you say you are that you are as disgusted as I am at the Supreme Court decision called Citizen United?

[sandorsbox]

Wow, this is such a bunch of horse shit. The Tea-party is not funded by corporations. The Tea-parties are NOT in support of corporations. The Tea-party supports limited government and reduced government spending. I support the Tea-party movement and believe that lobbying needs to be stopped cold. Lobbying is legalized bribery. How exactly am I in support of big corporations?

[MaryJesusJoseph]

@theFEMAcampESCAPEE Who has said the government's power shouldn't be limited? 

[theFEMAcampESCAPEE]

@MaryJesusJoseph so should the governments power be limited, or should they have absolute power, including power over gay people and gun racks?
