Hurting The Base?
-
I mean, I've seen billboards that say, "America, Bless God... Paid for by Tea Party of Ohio." So there's some sort of coherent organization there. That being said, all of the conservative friends I have that are actually involved in politics seem to hate what the Tea Party is doing to the GOP. The GOP would definitely be stronger and better if it wasn't trying to appease these God-fearing fringe types all the way on the right. So long as they pander to that type of base, they're going to lose support in any place outside of the Bible Belt.

Not 100% sure if this is the official site..

Always think of it as a bell curve, the majority of people fall in the middle, but all you really hear about from any media source are they people on the extreme edges. The old adage the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Hard to say sad.
I would have guessed it was the party.org.
If in fact there is an actual group and an actual website.
I'm not seeing the hateful, racist, anti semitic or other stuff anywhere.
Nor anything I particularly disagree with....
You?

I guess I'd need to see anyone who was a member of what you guys Call the tea party who has said much that was outrageous.
It is my contention that anything the left leaning media dislikes is labeled tea party.
Is there an organization?
Is there a leader, officers or members?
Is there a manifesto, if so what does it say?
I think it's just a catch phrase for anyone the dislikes.
A little bit like calling everyone marxist or liberal.

Well Steve if you read my original post carefully you'd see I was very careful to say they were percieved as extreme not that they were, and that that reputation hurts the republican party as a whole.

And apparently someone has posted a picture of you on evilconservatives.net. you are a musician by trade and its hardly like you aren't seen, but to me it seems egregious and I would personally take that into consideration when allowing "new" posters to start posting here again.

But like I said the perception is 1 made up by the left. so there's not much you can do about it.
Also, for all these new idiots posting, I'm pretty sure it's just bunker and maybe some pals trying to disrupt. I don't seem to have the ability to delete an account or suspend an account just delete individual posts.
The administrators have to do that if it's going to be done unless they change my access.
I don't know what evil conservatives is exactly but they seem only slightly offensive and usually some what clever.
Didn't know I was on it but that sounds like more of the idiots work.

So I just looked at evil conservatives and it looks like T has been banned from that too.
I didn't see any photos of me.

In the first post. Not sure what prompted it to be posted but something nefarious I assume.

I have all sorts of liberal friends. They
are worried sick that Obamao may get reelected. Know what they say?
He's a disgrace to what their parents' Democratic party used to be.
And, that Obamao is making them fear a race war, based on radical class envy and hate.
Some of them have bought guns, which they don't like, and a few even got their CCW.
And one apologized to me, after she got online and actually looked up Saul Alinski, and
the serious Obamao, Hillary, and Jimmy Carter connections. She said she's sick at heart that
she voted for a racist and socialist. Sound like me? Yep. But it's true, just last Sun at our picnic.

Looks like T has been booted off that site too.
His pic of me has been blocked.
Apparently being a jerk on message boards is some kind of hobby.
Too bad, he seems like a good guy one on one.

I mean, I've seen billboards that say, "America, Bless God... Paid for by Tea Party of Ohio." So there's some sort of coherent organization there. That being said, all of the conservative friends I have that are actually involved in politics seem to hate what the Tea Party is doing to the GOP. The GOP would definitely be stronger and better if it wasn't trying to appease these God-fearing fringe types all the way on the right. So long as they pander to that type of base, they're going to lose support in any place outside of the Bible Belt.

but vapor - maybe your conservative friends think the bible belt faction also have "closeted public disclosure types " not on the fringe as you say, that are willing to stand up, at least with thier votes and join the tea party? I think all you have to do is look at the Chic fila deal.
I dont think the tea party is all that you hear about as being militantly religious... I agree w/ WSS as being a media slant , and smear job.

Whether or not its a smear job its hurting the overall perception of the republican party way more than the occupy movement is hurting the democratic party. It would probably help mitt romney a lot more if they disbanded and reformed as something else with less sensationalism already attached to it.

But none of them, as far as I know, made a point to go on facebook and show their support for Chick-Fil-A. The only ones who did are the ones who think that we are and should be a Christian nation. Most everyone else, myself included, think the Chick-Fil-A boycott is making those on the left look like as big of idiots as the morons on the right who boycotted Oreo.
Hell. I stand for what CFA's CEO is doing. I think that his personal views are deplorable, but he has every right to voice them. It's money that he's earned and can spend on whatever he damn well pleases. Whatever his views, they're separate from his restaurant chain seeing as they treat every customer equally.
Comics like this are just complete bullshit. And hot damn do I have a craving for some of those little morsels of chicken goodness.

well, there is a serious lack of integrity on the part of liberals.
They don't care if their leaders rape, pillage, snort cocaine, or move toward a marxist dick...tatorship.
they just want their Obamao bucks.
But, I don't believe it's hurting the overall perception nothin.
Most folks are tired of the lefts' smears that end up being bogus.
The rest of folks have principles. Values, Integrity.
The left has win more $$$ no matter what they have to do.

I don't know any left leaning people that are getting any "Obama bucks" that's where you're wrong. You keep associating everyone who believes in social equality and sexual freedom and gun control as some scum sucking degenerate taking welfare money, when its just not true. I know democrats from drywallers and painters to teachers and fellow engineers to navy officers, and Vietnam combat veterans. Not a one of them is taking "Obama bucks". Do you think Bill Gates is taking Obama bucks? You think Steve Jobs was? That stereotype you're trying to create just isn't true. Why, that's as crazy as saying all republicans are racist homophobe crazy evil white people. It's just not true.
