You will find out who the saps are in November guy! Keep playing the "entitlement card" and you also will become bankrupt because everyone's else's money to pay for your progressive, entitlement programs is running out.
Have you heard of Cloward & Pivens? You need to get a life and quit worrying about everyone else's!

are the target of the Tea Party movement. Note, if you will, Mr. Farrell, the removal of Rep. Utah Senator Bennett; the potential removal of Delaware Repub. Mike Castle;Arizona Repub. Senator McCain becoming VERY conservative to win his race;the removal of Alaskan Repub.Senator Murkowski in her primary; former RINO Floridian Gov. Crist becomes Independent-
Only 'sheeple' and lefties like YOU, Mr. Farrell, refuse to acknowledge that the Tea Party is not about Republicans or Democrats - they are about removing from our political system the cancer that is progressivism. I think all who live in reality understand it can't be done in one election - as all of our elected officials don't come up for re-election each time. And Republicans even leaning RINO like Cornyn and Graham ---I certainly hope they see that the Tea Party movement is not going away. If the election results are the tsunami that some are predicting, those Republicans who choose RINO status will be targeted next. Kind of like radiation targets tumors - 2010 is only the first stage of treatment for a Stage 4 political cancer.

Seems to me it's the other way around , more of the left doing what they do and blamming the other side of doing it .
Rich of Col . Tea Party or not , we must take our country and freedoms back . They may be gone one day , then what ?
Bruce b of NV , just another one in the short list of usefull idiots .
Oscar seems to leave out George Sorros , Move On , Huffington , and failed Air America , and all the rest .
John Ferrett seems to leave out the level headed common sense American people .
Folks on the left sure seem to be affraid of informed and common sense thinking people , not so easy brainwash are we ?

"The Tea Party is just one step for the ones behind the Tea Part pulling the strings. The darker figures in the background want much more they want the abolition of social security, all federal regulatory agencies, welfare, FBI, CIA, and public schools. They also want to put a stop to any development of enegry sources outside of oil, coal, and gas. I'm not lying and I know what I'm talking about."
Let's see... I'm all for abolishing Social Security... many federal agencies in general, regulatory or not... welfare, check... FBI, not particularly but I wouldn't defend it either... CIA, not so much, I kinda like the spooks. They serve a purpose. Public schools, yessiree. Get the government out of education. Churches, parents and one-room schoolhouses can do better than the crap we've got.
The energy situation will evolve, but arbitrarily making war on the oil giants is shortsighted and dare I say, stupid. They'll be HAPPY to invest in alternative energy when it is cost-effective to do so.
And you consider those "evil intentions", Oscar? What are "good" intentions? Enslaving future generations with debt, substandard education and an intelligence apparatus that would make Big Brother blush?
Of course, I'm not a Tea Partier, either. Maybe I should take a second look!

i;am sure that most of tea baggers are good and decent people.but their being led down the garden path by the far right pied pipers,the likes of sarah palin,glenn beck,dick armey and in washington by people such as john"in the clubhouse"boehner,mitch,McConnell and eric cantor.these shameless and insidious people will do or say whatever they think will return them to power and line their pockets along the way.

You say "I'm not lying and I know what I'm talking about."
So prove it !!!
I am a conservative and all for alternative energy. I am not for subsidizing alternative energy by taxing carbon fuels. We do not need to make USA products cost more.
When technology makes alternative energy viable great. It is bound to happen. Look what Henry Ford's assemble line did.
For now most forms of alternative energy is too high.

The facts are what they are. I wish these guys could be happy with all their wealth and leave us alone, but they won't. The billionaire brother's father helped found the John Birch Society. The brothers created the Americans for Prosperity Foundation and are funders of every conservative think tank in this country. They also fund an army of bloggers. They have spent 196 million since 1998. Then another 12 million was given to Dick Army's Freedomworks last winter. They have put another 2.6 million into the Tea Party. Rupert is more into information distortion and misinformation. The old soviet tools of propaganda.
Now as far as left or right? You'll find me all over the place. I do want to be well informed and I do take the time to find out who the players are and what they want, as best as I can. If being insterested and doing research describes my politics and you are saying that makes me liberal then what is it to be on the right? Well I have to get back to work.
