Every time I read about them and their policies, I wonder how people can even consider voting for them.
Am I right when I believe that they hate pretty much everything that's not white, male, straight, married, and rich? Also: what's the point of their obsession with God and religion? I don't think that religion should play a role in politics at all. And I think it's dangerous if politicians from the (still) most powerful country base their decisions on an ancient book. Do Tea Party candidates still live in the Dark Ages? But what I really want to know now: Why do so many Americans actually want to vote for those hateful people? Apart from the fact that I would (most likely) always vote for a democratic candidate, it would be still better to vote for a more moderate repuclican than for a Tea Party candidate. Comments from Americans (Thrax included ;-)) would be appreciated. |

at 10:30 PM, Friday October 29, 2010 EDT You read too many liberal outlets. The Tea Party movement began with Ron Paul. The real tea partiers want an end to the wars and a return to sound money.
The folks who hijacked the party (but are really only a minority) want to return the neoconservatives (progressives) back into power. |

at 12:12 AM, Saturday October 30, 2010 EDT You obvioulsy missed my post where I said the exact same thing you did about the origins of the tea party and it being hijacked. So go fuck yourself for claiming my sources are only liberal outlets.
It doesn't matter if those getting elected are RINOs, NeoCon or Teabaggers, to get elected they are having to raise the rhetoric in and out of washington to record levels of divisive partisanship. Seriously fuckwad way to make a pointless and ignorant assumption, get the fuck out of this thread. |

at 7:46 AM, Saturday October 30, 2010 EDT I used to consider myself a republican. However, mainline "moderate" GOP candidates have nothing to offer for the most part. The party itself is incredibly corrupt. As for the Tea Party movement...they have to be the biggest idiots around. When you choose Sarah Palin to be your spokesperson and Ron Paul to be your brain...well you get what you paid for.
The worst is that people are voting for these people. Sharon Angle in Nevada, Rand Paul in Kentucky, and Christine O'Donnell in Delaware being the more prominent idiots. |
