I have two concerns about the Tea Parties:
1) How They--no, We, will react to the Drive-Bys' lies and slander of us.
2) The possibility of splintering off into a third-party.
I remember all the stories the Drive-Bys were putting out calling the Tea Parties everything from the leftist slander handbook, but what most peeps forget is that if any of those stories were true, then why has no footage of such claimed incidents surfaced? I don't want anyone to play into the Drive-By's hands by reacting the wrong way to their lies and slander and do something that will "prove them right". So far, I can look at fellow Tea Party peeps and sense that compared to our political foes, we're acting professionally--we are angry, but no one I know in the Tea Party movement wishes any personal ill to come to any of those in Congress and President Obama. Basically, I just want to make sure that no one makes it "personal", because that is where reason ends and obsession begins.
As for the whole third-party thing, it does sound very appealing. The only problem? In a nation that has been split into a two-party system straight from the get-go (and against the wishes of the Great George Washington no less), a third-party simply can't work. Most third parties tend to fall under a demographic branch already covered by the GOP or the Democrat Party and under that premise, going third-party just backfires. That doesn't mean I'm not frustrated with the GOP--I've been frustrated with them for a good while and still let them know of my displeasure of dropping the ball back in '06 and '08, but comparing the feasibility of taking back the GOP and going third-party, taking back the GOP sounds alot more feasible to me and looking back at '94 (even though I was only a kid during '94 and only understand it in hindsight via research), I can see what's possible with doing so.

I did a cow shadowflameguardian Voting obviously hasn't let our voice be heard enough or our country wouldn'Mt be the way it is right now. Majority rules. I think that we shouldn't be allowed to have absolute power over the country unless the people allow it. I think its selfish of people to want more of a voice than the one vote they get. And remember, even if they do get a Nazi or a Commie in office, you can always emigrate. I don't see how that is selfish, when this was a country based on the people's voice and what they want. Of course if I had the money I would go spend some time in or immigrate to another country but right now I can't.

People's voice overall is what it was based on Giving some people a bigger voice than others is very selfish.

Not everyone says or believes that, you can't stereotype a group of people like this. It isn't fair or accurate.

We don't need to question his place of birth to do that--we have to question his policies, and that is what the peeps in the Tea Party movement I know have been doing--I'm sure you agree, ja?

They can't make anything conservative look good.

Reaper013 Agreed, the tea parties have been very effective, having been to one, i can say that from experience. Just wait till election day, we'll vote them out and hopefully reclaim the house majority. Which one Libertarians or Republicans? I'm a registered Libertarian and I'm looking forward to hopefully voting in a Libertarian President hopefully since our party is starting to grow even more due to Washington's Liberal takeover and the inept, unjust misuse of their positions.

What I want to know is why are the conservatives making a big deal of not having their voice heard when they have held many presidencies. I'm pretty sure that the liberals had the same complaints that the conservatives are having as we speak. The conservative policies do not benefit the common man, and I know by experience because I am the common man which is the case for the majority of the US population. Conservatives always bring up cultural disputes in order to deter the population from the actual problem. For example, conservatives almost always bring up abortion as if that is a major issue in the country. Instead of worrying so much about what someone does with their body, how about worry and amend the problems that Bush left the country like the two wars and the ailing economy. The US should declare war on its hypocrisy so it will not look like a joke to the rest of the world. Why is it that the US is the only industrialized country without a universal health care system for its populous? Instead of allotting extensive amounts of federal funds on the military, how about we invest in the joke of an education system that we have now. Many US Americans are solely monolingual while the vast majority of Europeans and other ethnic groups are bilingual or multilingual. The point is that the US needs to focus on real problems instead of policing the world when it can't even police itself. What nation is going to respect that? It's hard for me to have faith in this country when it is very hypocritical. My country is under the colonial rule of the US and I will always be a second class citizen just because I am from Puerto Rico.

The Tea Partiers don't realize that they are helping the conservatives eliminate many opportunities for the common man. They are voting for the wrong things...they don't realize that they are voting for their children to not be able to offered college and many other things.

Conduct your own survey on what tea partiers think, but until then, I'm staying with my statistics. Most of them are crazy people who shout words like "Nazi" and "communist" without knowing what they mean.
