If the tea party is the party "being informed" how in the hell didn't they see this coming?
as for the racist comments . . . all your doing is repeating largely liberal media bias statements. there were fringe elements of the party who displayed some racial remarks, they were quickly denounced by what amounts to the central organization and the tea party express, the primary element that caused the issues, was quickly booted from the national charter.
buy a T.V. spot and explain your postion.
My guess is That they are going off of strength in numbers.
"so what if we have a few nut jobs on board so be it".
If they Really want to become the party of choice and change they have to reach out to blacks Latinos and Asians.
but they have never stood out in front of the white house with signs saying "kill that N!@@ger"
but he sure was saying something to him
If I had to pick i would go with the republican party circa 1960 berfore the Dixiecrats flocked to the Republican Party and fucked it all up!

John honestly i have no opinion of them other then nut jobs. i could less what they stand for or what they represent.
i just hope this new government health care doesnt model itself after massachusetts one. if you are unemployed for more then a year you can get full everything. i know people who work under table to stay out of system so they can keep getting better benefits then me. and i pay 300 a month for mine. if thats what the tea party is fighting i might have to listen

they actually have gone on the record and distanced themselves from those extremes, there have even been 'minority' members of the movement who have publicly spoken about such events and defended the tea party
the problem like i stated is that the mass media sees them as an enemy . . .
and to be honest they didnt see this coming because they didnt come together as a group until all the "stimulus" spending starting coming into play. that was the straw that broke the camels back. until then they were like you and me just bitching on some internet forum.

furthermore on the bush spending, obama has spent more in his first six months than bush did in his first 4 years. regardless of circumstances its an invalid argument to say where were these people when bush was spending.
the tea party is neither republican nor democrat. they are strongly against the way the government in general is represented. they have supported dems running for office as well.
and when they speak of the 'good ole days' again they speak of a smaller federal government. more state control, the way it's supposed to be.

Hitman, no offense meant, but you come across as a bit of a dumbass on this. You don't know what you are talking about and you are more than somewhat insulting. I realize the insulting bit is by design, but it discourages enlightened discussion when taken with the cluelessness.
