I'd say the GOD coopted the TP, or at least tried to, not exactly created. Kinda like OWS.

"......GOD coopted the TP.."? I didn't know God needed toilet paper.........

If you're trying to say maybe the GOP coopted the Tea Party, I'd have to ask;

Okay, so at the end of the day, what's the difference?

Without the financial support of Republicans and the use of that (R) next to their names, would any of those goofs have ever made it to Congress?

I seriously doubt it. And now that they have embarrassed their host, they are being shown the door.

LOL!

Cantor was defeated with a couple bucks. I keep saying, these folks are dedicated and work very hard. Will the establishment win? Almost certainly. Stay turned.

Didja see Palin flippin' out last night on Fox? She almost came right out and said that the Tea Party faithful should sit out the '14 elections. Erickson at RedState was suggesting that the 'baggers donate to Cochran's democratic challenger.

You can fool some of the people some of the time Pete, but you can't fool me.

I've read enough of your posts to see that there isn't a ray of daylight between you and the baggers on any issue.

Quoted for truth.

That is exactly who they are.

I'm no isolationist.

How you ask goes a long way though. I am quite sympathetic to some of their aims.

'Governing? We're not interested in governing!'

Same attitude as 427, different venue. Palin quits, Cruz shuts it down, and it's destructive war against REPUBLICANS. It looks a lot like the idea isn't to gain control of the constitutional levers of power. It looks like the guys making strategy have a different plan. Paralysis and disruption in DC is part of it, militias are part of it....

Oh that's right.

You're a Warmonger, who never went to war himself.

So the one issue that you don't march in lockstep with the baggers on happens to be the one issue where the baggers might have some redeeming qualities.
