I (and my extended family) all consider ourselves as "Tea Party" patriots. I would be remiss if I did not point out the many, many, members of the Republican Party (the way I v**e) which are part of the tea party in congress.

Worth noting is the following; which goes back to my previous posts that all politics are local, (quoting Tip O'Neil) and that is how the tea party will grow. Not during one national e******n.

So boys, don't save your v**es for the next p**********l e******n, fire those cannons in the mid-term and start getting ready right now!

Here we go:

The following American politicians are affiliated with the Tea Party movement, which is generally considered to be conservative, libertarian, and populist. It is not a single, formal political party,but is represented by activist groups such as the Tea Party Patriots and the Tea Party Express. The Tea Party Caucus is the primary vehicle for the movement in Congress.

CLOSING COMMENTS: Which states have not elected a tea party member, and how many are from your state?

Are you willing to work for the re-e******n of your present members and work for adding more to the list. Or, as I have read on here many times before. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KICK ALL THESE BUMS OUT?

snowbear37 Loc: MA.

It's tough being conservative in this state, however, there are a lot of us.

Inyourface Loc: East Coast

The fact that you still are willing to identify yourself as "Teaparty" is indeed sad. If your whole family is afflicted with the malaise it is downright frightening. It makes one believe that chronic stupidity and toxic ,r****m just may be contagious.

I am one who often carps, "fire all of them". Of course that isn't what I mean. What I truly mean is that we don't need much of a federal government and we desperately look for people to protect us from the insanity of the progs re legislation. Without the feds capability to write legislation that affects our freedoms, and without their capability to waste our money on unconstitutional things, we would be sitting pretty at present. We wouldn't be mired in debt. We wouldn't be printing f**e money. We wouldn't be bailing out all the politicians' friends' businesses. We wouldn't be policing the world. We wouldn't be granting amnesty to every criminal alien who decides to walk over here and draw welfare. We wouldn't have a society whose soul is dying.

Before trying to get us to support the Republican Party, it would be a good idea to try to get the Republican Party to support its TEA Party members, wouldn't it?

johntvalentine

Wake up my beloved America. SUPPORT, the TEA PARTY. When good people do nothing, evil progressives people will always rule. It is time to put your shoulder to the wheel. Do we really mean it when we say, we will protect and defend America's gift from God. America's sacred Constitution. You know ten people and I know ten people. and they know ten people. Join me, doing wh**ever it take to save America. The fight has just begun to put a stop to this one hundred year evil progressive movement.

Inyourface Loc: East Coast

The Teaparty is comprised almost entirely of w****s. Many are old,unrehabilated, segrgationists. The younger members are frighten by the demographic shift this nation is experiencing. They watch Fox News,and Listen to con artists,like Limbaugh and that i***t Glenn Beck. 50,000 Latinos turning 18 EVERY month will soon sweep these ffools into the ash bin of history.

"unrehabilated, segrgationists" - prove this and then we can talk. Until then you are just another rabble rouser, AKA liar.

In t***h, MOST of them were never segregationists to start with, so had nothing to rehabilitate for. And those Mexicans turning 18 every month will soon sweep America off the map. Sounds like that is fine with you. Fool.

Tazine. I could care less if you want to support the Republican Party. What I want is for you to look around in your district, observe the old saying. "God give me the wisdom to determine what I can change, and the courage to do it!" and focus locally. Get off your duff, find representatives which you and your neighbors can support (and directly v**e for) -- then either move them and the Republican party together, or figure out a way to get them elected as a independent.

If all "we" do is just sit around and carp about other representatives from other areas, or political parties as a whole, which we have no control over, then we are doomed to failure.

Yes! we can pull that wagon up the hill if we all pull together. Together we stand -- apart we get our arses handed to us, just as has been happening of late.

And the progressives are c*********d almost entirely of little twits who throw tantrums and stomp their feet, when they do not get their way.

I am so looking forward to your future conniption fits, once common sense takes over the e*****rate and you are thrown out on your face.

Excuse me if I sound a bit sour. I am sour. I've been doing as you suggest since 1962. And some of those I liked and supported got into office - and most of them then did a 180. This is no new thing for me. I saw the dangers decades ago and have worked my butt off since that time, but either I am totally ineffective or the majority of the world is insane, because to my knowledge I've influenced no one, I repeat, no one!. A good portion of those who have come out of the woodwork and giving advice, were not even living when I started trying to defeat the l*****t mantra. It is not CANDIDATES WE MUST DEFEAT. IT IS AN EVIL DOCTRINE WE MUST DEFEAT, AND WE DON'T DO IT BY ELECTING GOOD OLD BOYS WHO SAY THE RIGHT THINGS AND DO NOTHING. We do it by using THE ENEMIES' tactics on them.

I'm damned mad! Not at you, C*****r, but at Americans at large who have never given a thought to the ramifications of their v**es, who have never invested a single thought to what their incessant demands for more, more, and more do to the nation. I'm mad that there is a huge segment of v**ers who live on handouts without EVER trying to earn their own way. I am mad that there are so many Americans who don't even KNOW what rights are, and don't mind giving them away for a few dollars, mindlessly.

At present, I'm getting close to letting the circumstance that Americans have caused just take its course and let those really, really dumb ones learn a thing or two through their own new experiences that they don't believe can ever happen to them. I've lived most of my life. I think I am ready to just rest. I don't believe for one second that merely vetting candidates does one damned thing to right all the wrongs. I don't for one second trust the v****g booth - it is so thoroughly CORRUPTED that it is useless to decent Americans. I no longer trust the Constitution because the chances of getting people into office in sufficient quantity to actually FOLLOW the Constitution is, in my view, slim to none. This crap has been allowed to continue unimpeded for far too long. Too much tyranny has been instituted and legalized that I think it could take up to a century to turn it around.

I know I sound defeatist, and to be t***hful, I'd rather wear that realistic label than that of a pie-in-the-sky dreamer who cannot see reality. If my freedoms are threatened, physically threatened, I intend to defend them and myself. Our government is a rogue one that should not be in power, but Americans made it happen. Those Americans were not on my side, and as far as I am concerned, it's about time those Americans learn what they have wrought. I will never work against the US Constitution as written, and I will never bow to socialism or tyranny. That's the most I can promise anyone these days. But I will never hush about the socialists. Once we leave them alone, they will have won.

You must be a socialist/f*****t to even think like that.

Well, yes. The entire political left is collectivist these days - no need to break down all the philosophies. One serves either a master or himself. The left serves a master, which they think is government, and which I think is evil.

Snowbear37, you must really be proud of rightwingers with the likes of Jack Villamaino (R-MA). You know, the East Longmeadow Republican who is going to spend 4 months in jail for changing the party affiliation of 300 Independents to the Republican party. Shame, Shame. And didn't he forge the same v**ers onto absentee b****ts, or something like that?

My step-daughter lives in East Longmeadow so I can keep up the the Republican shenanigans going on there. Her step-father, at the age of 56, recently had a stroke while watching Fox Noise and ranting and raving about Obama. Just goes to show you that neither Fox Noise nor President Obama are good for your health, especially when expressing your opinion in a declamatory manor.
