TEA PARTY FOR ME!!I was a “Tea Party” American as soon as I was married,and had children back in 1981.I realized first hand what I saw in my face-married couples having to take out loans to pay Property Taxes-while the Unwed Mothers-got it ALL-Free-on you an’me.No body brings up the HUGE impact being Taxed out of the HOUSE,really is yet,untill your job is gone(business/jobs)taxed out,you can’t pay your mortgage payment anymore(even though you basically paid it off)and everything left is interest on the bank loan.The big obama lie to keep families in their homes-just give us&the BANKS(who created this mess intentionally)in the First place.Give us your money so we can have it ALL-including your homes-no one owns a home-if you can’t pay your property tax-baby it’s gone.Just what their Communist agenda was&is.If anything is “Unconstitutional”what about COMMUNISM????

Here is a link to the MAHALO website where there is a comparison of the Nazi Swastica symbol and the Obama Healthcare emblem or symbol that was displayed at a Tea Party with an X across it.

BTW, it was a congress person, Pelosi maybe, who had claimed the Obama healthcare sign at a Tea Party was the swastica. Rush commented on that woman’s statement and people who don’t listen to Rush accepted the Main Stream Media claims that Rush himself had made the claim. Obama and liberal/progressive movement have all the networks on their side and conservatives have only FOX NEWS at least partially on their side. There is NO balance on the major networks. Please stop complaining about FOX NEWS, especially if you don’t listen yourself but have to have Katie Couric tell you her version of what was said on FOX.

It’s a shame that Earl has to attack people who stutter,most of his comments were petty. I’m okay with the Teaparty movement but don’t encourage the extremests (those with Nazi signs,ect.)Just stick to the facts and don’t get crippled with frivolous garbage. You seem to praise Fox News and that’s okay too. They are not always fair and balanced anymore than MSNBC. Large corporations are bleeding America dry. A few get rich while the majority of folks slide backwards.Just look at the huge salaries they pay themselves;and then they want bigger bonuses. What’s American about that? I don’t see anywhere that these pirates deserve their booty. Look at drug prices,look at private healthcare costs,look at mortgage closing costs. Then look at these great Americans who are stuffing their pockets like they just robbed a bank. These companies pay 40% less than they did in 1982 which means more burden falls on us. If you really want fair and balanced:why aren’t you screaming from the roof tops about all this uncontrolled greed. We’re all paying dearly for their behavior. It’s fine to go after a bloated govt.,but don’t be so one sided.

I agree with most of the replies here and we as Proud AMERICANS need to go to the polls this year and vote all of these incombants out and start fresh with a new group of REPS that we can control with our votes . let them know we are fed up with this BULL.

The members of the tea party movemnt are from all party lines and I hope one party doesn’t try to claim it for their own and alienate the other members.

TEA PARTY = WE THE PEOPLE !!!

Is this not enough to understand? We are the UNITED STATES! These people in the white house are such progressives that they are destroying who we are and what America is . They are causing class fighting – rich/poor — taking over large businesses / banks and now want to take over our health care – the most personal thing in our life.Is there any question why the tea parties started?? We are standing up for ourselves — for what America is ! Yes WE MUST STOP THEM — and ”WE THE PEOPLE” will do that.

Sarah Palin is remarkable in many ways,but she also plays with the facts. (Like most politicians). She rails against Federal dollars ,yet “her” state received 2.4 billion dollars in 2008. That is the second highest behind Wyoming another conservative state. Mostly for education,housing and welfare programs,which she also rails against when other states need money. Alaska is not self sufficient because it DOES NOT tax it’s citizens in the way other states have to. They rely on Federal money,which is unfair to many states which has to fight for those dollars.Conservatives in my state rail against oil and gas taxes,yet in Alaska that is their main source of income. So many conservatives conviently support both sides of the issue.(Sarah Palin). Even the oil industry in Alaska is subsidised by that mean federal government.

There was a time, just before 2000 when our national budget was in balance and the future seemed bright. BUT! Along came George (W)armonger Bush, who “dragged us by our noses” into a most unnecessary war with Iraq, by lies, and by the fabrication of fictitious “WMD’s”. The burden of the expense of not only the Iraq debacle, but by the entire mismanagement of the economy will continue being paid for by your children and their children’s children.
The legacy of the Bush Administration is this, is that from 2000 thru 2008 the nation’s financial hole soared to several trillions of dollars! This is the way it was before the official declaration of “The Great Recession”, and before the significant market declines of October!
It is important that we remember that before the advent of the destructive economic polices of the Bush Administration the national deficit was about 1.2% of GDP. When they were in control, the Republicans rubber stamped every ounce of Bush’s irresponsible and disastrous economic policies! It never ceases to amaze me how, today, these very same spendthrift Republicans have suddenly become the champions of fiscal responsibility!
There is an irony to all of this, especially if we were to consider that there is a group of emerging market nations, among which are the Ukraine and Romania. All of which are managing their books in a much better fashion than we are; and all with debts at less than 15% of GDP.
They are out there in force criticizing Obama for not cutting taxes and paying down the debt. What an easy argument this is to make especially when your party is not in control. The debt, which is in desperate need of being brought down, was not created by Obama but by none other than George W. Bush.
Conservatives are always in the forefront of criticism of Barack Obama. The hypocrisy of these same conservatives is that there is no criticism of Bush’s dismal economic performance which is responsible for bringing us to the brink of disaster. They will never concede that it was they, themselves, who brought this nation’s economy to this point of degradation!
As for Sarah Palin, the heir apparant to the badly brewed tea bags I do believe that Sarah should begin ingesting fish oil, as there are reports from some of the medical professionals to the effect that fish oil may help prevent psychotic disorders. And psychotic she most definitely is!

The Tea Party has inspired me to become vocal about our rights and liberties that have been slowly taken away in this Christian nation. This idea that the government must do everything for us is a direct path to bondage. I attended my first Tea Party in Sacramento in April 2009. I was blown away buy the huge event, the peaceful expression of the distaste of political corruption and the general disconnect of our elected officials to the real desires of the citizens of this great nation. The TEA PARTY is huge, and I strongly urge all of us to contribute to the political process by talking to our neighbors, being vocal when discussions come up that are wrong, and work for smaller government at all levels. We can’t afford to let a government replace our common sense. The Tea Party represents a vast majority of the population. What used to be called the silent majority, has now had enough and is now speaking through the Tea Party. When the Democrats and the Republicans call for donations tell them you donate to the TEA PARTY. THEY WILL THEN LISTEN.

The Tea Party movement is good for the country but it will get subverted eventually because that’s what the elite of the world do. I attend Tea Parties when they come through Texas and it’s normal everyday concerned citizens. I watched the new media at these events. They pick out the weirdest person they can find, one with all the pins stuck to a strange hat and a t-shirt with some inflammatory saying or picture and the person is unshaven and looks crazy. That’s the way the want to portray us – not as actual real people who have legitimate gripes about their government. The GOP is also courting the Tea Party people because they are afraid we will start voting for more and more independents and Libertarians. The Democrats are afraid of us – look at the negativity surround Palin and the Tea Party convention. Ultimately though, people will just stop reading printed articles and watching television news by bias news sources and these outlets will go bankrupt. Maybe then we will get some truth in news reporting. I don’t know about you, but I depend on getting the actual news, not some slanted opinionated version by a “reporter” that is reading what someone else wrote for him. As for journalism – there are very few fair and equal journalist left in this country.

I’m not surprised… The dem’s and the obama media will never be able to figure out the people are sick of socialism!

One must study our history from another perspective and recognize that we have been subverted by a corrupt bunch constantly working behind the scenes. Although people may see Fox News and other main stream media as saviors, they are actually part of the problem. A fact in point, if you want to understand why we are where we are today I strongly suggest a good starting point is to read an essay entitled “The Chasm”. It can be found at the website Freedom Force International. Until people look into this information, they will continue to be strung along and played like a fiddle.

There has to be a big change in our government. They no longer work for the American people or what is best for this country. They have
forgotten who they service. I hope the Tea Party movement will open
citizens’ eyes to see the need for changing the system. Perhaps the
congressmen should serve(for the people) an 8 year term then go back to the private sector. No retirement package, they are their to balance the budjet & make the country better. Not to line their pockets & listen to special interest groups. When are we going to take care of the people in this country?

CNN is bought and paid for by the White House so why would any conservative listen to anything they have to say about anything? To quote CNN in saying that 40% of the populace doesn’t know about the Tea Party or haven’t heard of it is ludicrous. With the twenty four hour news coverage and print in this country, it is virtually impossible not to have heard about the Tea Party through one media or the other.
The only thing I can come up with is the Liberals done’t give a damn about their children having to live in a socialist country and being enslaved by this government and that is especially disturbing when it comes to the African American as they can’t stop after all these years talking about slavery and continue to back a government that wants to take away all the freedoms this country has enjoyed for two hundred thirty four years. Wake up America and help take this country back out of the hands of the enslavers

Try another poll besides CNN the lapdog of liberals. They are part of the Mainstream Media, so blind and disconnected with the grassroots of America that they aren’t even sure anymore of what country they are still in. They think it is the country of Obama-phoria, where there are no rich people, just poor people that must be nannyed every step of the way. (The USSR was that way once; look at what happened to them.)
The tea party movement is a breakthrough to reach the common man and woman on the streets, not the ones in the gutters, but the sensible thinking citizens.
CNN poll people not knowing about the tea party is not surprising at all; they are still on the dark side of the learning curve and may never make it to the sunshine.

As for Sarah Palin’s speech, now the lame stream MSM is mocking her as a palm reader merely because she wrote a few words on her hand. I heard parts of her speech – a good speech!! Especially when we hear that BHO can’t even speak to school children without a teleprompter!! The liberals must be desperate!! One MSM outlet mocks Palin for referring to Biden as O’Biden, but fails to mention Biden saying “Stand up Chuck…” to a man in a wheelchair, or Obama talking about the “57″ states. The MSM fails to say that Obama once said “Wreck Havoc” instead of “Wreak Havoc”, or more recently, Obama said “Navy Corpse Men” instead of “Navy Corps Men”. As for writing on her hand, SO WHAT?? When giving speeches, don’t we all have notes in front of us? To all the liberals and drones, I ask: Can your beloved president give a speech without notes or a teleprompter….without hesitating or stuttering?????

The Tea Party is good for the country. FOX news, especially Glenn Beck, has exposed the corruption in our government and helped get some of the persons out of our government. I think that FOX news gives us the news like it is while other news channels are serving the administration instead of the people.
Hopefully, We the People, will bring our government back to what it was originally suppose to be under our Constitution. Also, that we will keep our 2nd Amendment and not let the UN control our country.
Thanks, FOX news.

Of course most Americans haven’t heard of the Tea Parties since the MSM refuses to cover anything that goes against their agenda. Anyone who’s not sleepwalking today knows that the MSM is in bed with the One World Order people. Although our 912 March On DC had over a million Americans attending, the MSM virtually ignored it like it never even happened. We patriotic Americans are sick and tired of being portrayed as Terrorists as well as other untrue labels simply because we love our country and are willing to fight for it. Most of our SO-CALLED leaders are corrupt and are drunk with money and power and that needs to change now for the sake of all of us and our country.

Tea Party is the way to go…
We got to stop Obama’s agenda or America will be no more.

The Tea Party movement has virtually been ignored or downgraded by the MSM. They are not a newsworthy subject. As more and more people are turning to FOX news to get news that the mainstream media won’t cover, more and more of them will know about the Tea Parties and what they stand for. It’s growing, and it will continue to grow with all the bone-head ideas this administration continues with!

Regardless of what the polls say, the Tea Party Movement is a force to be reckoned with. I support the Tea Party wholeheartedly and I urge every patriotic Ameican to do the same. Only the people can rid us of the current crop of corrupt politicians.

Had our second meeting last night to organize for upcoming event on the 28th. We are expecting 2,000 to 3,000 people. I agree with Diana above. Our trust must be earned from both parties. Our leaders have lost their way and the concept of doing right. Now is the time for us to stand up and be heard. Thank you

I agree with Diana who sounds like a very knowledgable person when it comes to understanding that the game played in Washington does not represent middle America. To awaken,the public must get involved “40% have not heard of the Tea party?”only then can we avoid becoming a dying nation.We must stop looking for Hollywood type personalties which got us Obama and focus on a person resume.Vote out those who want to stay in power and vote in those that have conservative views regardless of Part affiliation.

The good news is that it only takes about 2 1/2 % change in opinion to “statistically” change and/or win an election! That is why I say that obama (biggest egoist that I’ve ever seen in my life)must STOP the 2010 election somehow or another, or he’ll really get uncovered (exposed) as a two-bit jerk and he knows it!

The Tea Party Movement represents American citizens that are fed up with the corruptness in our government. The Republicans want to use the movement for their advantage but the basic truth is they only side at the moment with the GOP because it is the lesser evil of the two parties. Both parties are filled with people that have lost the whole concept of doing right. Greed rules in the hearts of most every instutitional business and academic, from the hen house to the White House. We, are a dying Nation if there isn’t a huge turn around in the
way we are doing politics, running our businesses, teaching our children and being responsible for the decisions made in our lives.
