Wow! Did you write this yourself, Mr Roff, or is this another Newt Gingrich piece under your byline?
This does seem to be your drivel, since there isn't any anti-Muslim screeching about sharia law taking over America.
Good job! Not on the piece, because that's drivel, as usual. But good job on writing it yourself.

Its all astroturf, any ideas of fiscal responsibility has been bought off, paid off to change their tune so there isn't any real tea partys left.
You are not grassroots if you're rolling in dirty billionaire money supporting billionaires agendas to undermine the American people at every turn.
The original tea party was against the corporate control with the royal monopoly to suppress the people. Today's Tea party big idea is all for corporate control of the government to suppress the people.
These phony tea party guys want to privatize the VA, privatize Social Security (so Wall St bandits can steal your retirement) and essentially privatize the US Treasury (but it won't be going into your pocket - its going into the pocket of the billionaires paying for all the fake tea party BS).

Memo to John Boehner & Jim DeMint: First and foremost that needs to happen immediately after the GOP takes charge of Congress is to have a yes or no vote to repeal Obamacare in January to determine who in the GOP is a RINO and who is not. Any and all Republicans that vote NO to calling the vote or NO to repealing Healthcare need to be Primaried in the very next election. ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS. Are you hearing this Mitch McConnell and company?

Due to inaccurate typing on my part I identified U.S. Rep. Adam Putman as runnning for Florida State Commission of Agriculture. This is incorrect. He is running for Florida State Commissioner of Agriculture, an elected, statewide position. I regret the error.

Reading the Websites has been "interesting" as of late but I still don't believe the Dems, CERTAINLY the media and even the Republican establishment get thet the AMERICAN PEOPLE are FED UP!
The desperation shown lately by the Democratic groups and even certain aspects of the Media are indicators they might be getting a clue.
I've seen OBVIOUS "plants" at the TeaParty events I've attended and we do our best to quietly corral them in their own little area but somehow they are the ones who end up on CNN???
November will tell...Either the USA will turn a dark corner OR I'll be leaving the Country with my knowledge and history of job creation.

TEA is racist, idiots, KKK, any negative term the left could come up with. Not a thread of decency. obama is no better.
One can check out leftist articles here and find lies. Do leftist have no shame. Those claiming to be liberal are falling in polls. Less people will admit being liberal. DeeToo sounds more conservative with each passing day. Too bad I have good memory...
