Boehner needs to get some cojones and stand up to the wack job sect of his party. THat is the only solution.

Laughable ! Thanks for the chuckle . However it is sad that there are so many that think like this but there are more that disagree with you . Did you forget 2010?

You don't even know what the tea party stands for . Most, if they were honest , would admit they share many of the same values.
Your scared of gay people? I find your wording offensive

That is pretty out there. Many of them are women. Michelle Bachmann for example, no? Trust me, what they stand for is clear to the great majority of Americans, including most other republican officials who don't necessarily agree, but are afraid for their political careers. See 2010. |

So you're comfortable calling a successful woman a "tea bagger" Got it.
As far as the rest of what you said , I'm all ears.... What do they stand for that you disagree with ?

Unfortunately...I don't even think the Tea party knows what it stands for......3 different Sites and 3 different definitions of what they stand for....even Jims listing is different from what the 3 websites say...

No they don't...
The second one lists 3 core principles.
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
CONSTITUTIONALLY LIMITED GOVERNMENT
FREE MARKET ECONOMICS
The 1st one throws in
Repeal Obamacare
And the third one adds
Illegal Aliens are illegal
A strong military is essential
Gun Ownership is sacred
English as our core language is required.
And then Jim threw in
Sanctity of all human life
Charity/Sacrifice for our neighbors in need
The Republican Party has their platform and so does the Democratic Party .....so don't you think on a national stage they may want to get aligned.
United we stand....
And no I wasn't confused and never said I had a problem with anything listed......I just made an observation. That they are all over the place on their mission statement(s)

you mocked them saying they might not know what they stand for, none of those are mutually exclusive, they were established in their "local" organizations and reflect their "local" values, there is no reason why they would need to align as you seem to think, there is no national organization that I'm aware of... they support local candidates....you want them to be more like the republicans and democrats?
where is the problem in that list?
I think we mock for the sake of mocking ignoring and enabling the real culprits....note Spence's sneering and consider what he supports |

I can just about guarantee that what you find offensive is not what the Tea Party is actually saying...but rather, what the folks at the lefty TV station you watch, claim that the Tea Party is saying.
Fiscal responsibility (take what's fair, use it to help as many as possible)
Strong national defense
limited federal government
protection of guaranteed liberties
power of the free market
sanctity of all human life
charity/sacrifice for our neighbors in need
Yeah, that's a repugnant, radical agenda all right... |
