TEA PARTY CANDIDATES
The Tea parties biggest problem will be one of what is their real identity and who really belongs to what part.
There are too may agendas under their flag and that will be their downfall. Most of the heavies supporting them like the Palin's, Rand Paul, Bachmann are noise, not substance.
Because they are all based on attacking and not promulgating anything new, they don't have much to offer except obstructionism if they do get into office.
That part is the danger. Every time this has happened, the third party like the third rail has either electrocuted someone or ran the train off the track. If they were any good I would be behind them 100%. I just see them as easy recruited by the right wingers and quite one tracked. The old Church is the state crew, anti-abortion, same slogans, same logos as before. The Bachman-Palin Coalition. And the TEA PARTY will be taken over by these right wingers, birthers, death-ers, depend-ers and political hacks.
They would like to make us think that Tea Potters are like a bag of M and M's, they come in all colors but the chocolate is the same on the inside. They want change as long as it is in their best interests. Some of those interests are not in the best interests of all. Teapots are fragmented, just like when that fine bone China pot hits the ground. There's no one unified voice or group representing the movement, and it doesn't enjoy the status of an official party. While most of its members associate with the Republican party, many of their beliefs are at odds with the GOP.
24/7 SLANT, SLANT , SLANT
This is a politically fed nightmare brought on by the likes of those who control the 24/7 media for personal gain, like Murdoch of FOX. Helped by the politicians who no longer serve us, but serve themselves, like Palin, Gingrich, and a greedy few who are self mandated and marinated (soaked in their own grandeur) into a quest for power at the expense of those who have been brain washed by the spewing of the extreme right or the extreme righteous. Congresswoman Bachman comes to mind. Some of the things she says make Bush seem normal…nah!
RIGHT WING DINGERS - CHANGERS - BIRTHERS - NOW THE DEPENDERS
The conditions are right for the election of the slogan throwers and on occasional throwers of media excrement who wish to change history to match their outlandish thinking. We have been through the birthers and now we are confronted with the changers.
Soon we will have the "dependers" if this crap keeps up long enough. Now thats a horrific sight. I can see it now, hundreds marching down Pennsylvania Ave. wearing "Depends". Slogans like "You can Depend on Us", "We'll handle Washington's crap". "We can stop the leaks! Insane? No, look at some of their signs, not far away.
I see the most dangerous as the "changers" looking to rewrite the Constitution's main, most profound calling, the Separation of Church and State. The Taliban and the Mullahs are a prime example when the two come together in a religiously controlled state.
JESUS CAN GO TOO FAR
Christianity is just as dangerous. Just Google the words "war, Knights Templar, Infidels, and Crusades", and you figure the rest out. The western style or Christian religions tried to rule the world in terms of their style have been just as guilty in trying to force their will against others.
Read about Pope Urban II and you see a different light as to tolerance. What happened to Christian forgiveness in respect to the hatred against Muslims today. Religion conveniently picks the right side for themselves.
TEXAS TALIBAN
Those who challenge and want to change history in our schoolbooks. The Texas school board wants to ban many books and parts of history to appease fundamentalism. So they literally got a whole fundamentalist board elected. I see this no different than the beating and sometimes shooting of citizens in the middle of soccer fields by the Taliban. One group finding ways to bring their thinking down upon another group. I'm appalled that it even occurred in such a smart state like Texas who brought us the Bush's. Thus we have the Texas Taliban. Hmm, OK I get it.
NEWSPAPERS - LONG TIME PASSING
The bastion of truth at one time, the newspaper is simply vanishing. In Britain under the control of Rupert Murdock, lies, hacking of personal telephones, eavesdropping and other slimy forms of information gathering is the norm. The same Rupert Murdock who runs FOX news. It is so bad the paper existeding for 165 years was shut down.
Murdoch bought theNew York Postin 1976, making that paper famous for its salacious coverage of crime. Murdoch decided to move into television, but US law mandated that only Americans could own US television stations; thus he was naturalized in 1985, purchasing Metro-media the following year using it to launch America's fourth television network, Fox Broadcasting. In 1996 he started the Fox News Channel, delivering a staunchly conservative perspective on the news, as overseen by former Republican campaign wizard Roger Ailes.
It seems it's easier and faster to text and scroll rather than read and comprehend. Papers who who simply reported the news as it really happened now don't exist anymore, Not in the numbers that were the real public opinion at one time and they have now been replaced by reality type TV, news. Handsome looking folks with twits and Facebook friends. Gals of enormous beauty and BIG HAIR.
Great looks, did I mention big hair, short dresses, lots of thigh, stilettos rectangle eyeglasses and breaking news. Influencing the public by mis-information, exaggerated snips, and a controlled press, with an agenda like FOX requires nothing more than a reader, described above, a cause and a paycheck. It's all about the show and ratings, news thats secondary for some stations. If they don't have it, by G-d, they'll make it up.
Print media and in-house photography is losing the battle of the dollars. Other than local shooting for most papers, coverage is by AP, Reuters and the other services. The print media and investigative reporting was the direct honest NEWS and reporting. Walter Chronkite, you are sorely missed. And so are the reporters who followed the simple dual-verified source of information not inflammation,
WHAT ARE THEY SMOKING?
The TEA Party was formed, slightly right of Attila the Hun and the indoctrination meetings were copied from old Vietnam War era films. Same parades even looked like some of the old gang. Several things immediately became apparent about them.
Image for one thing, those mis-spelled signs, hate pictures, and the Obama Hitler, the Joker and other artwork told me a lot about some of them. May I suggest the following:
Learn how to spell, you idiots, nothing like a moron to represent the masses with misspelled words like Washington. Are you that frickin stoooo-pid?
Seems in her passion the gentleman is pointing to the fact the gal forgot where her "G" spot was.
I stop many emails I get from concerned citizens who forward just about anything they think has merit.
Usually some TEA party slightly slanted right wing fear message but they added something to it. Their personal touch and comment. And again poor spelling. Morons seem to congregate around morons. The email forwarder is asking me to forward a lot of bogus stuff to others. Topically, they are under the guise of patriotism, much of it is nothing but vitriolic racial and semitic hatred definitely aimed at a reaction against immigrants, Jews like me, black citizens, non-believers, Hawaiian birth certificates, and usually left wing Democrats.
We really have to be careful with some of the stuff coming out when the TEA Party, those well- meaning self- proclaimed great Americans, meet with a few loose cannons from the NRA and hopefully it will be an intelligent gathering and verbally low-scale. Well, it's already failed.
NOT A WORD FROM THE NRA DENIGRATING THESE NUTS
Let me state, I am a proud lifetime member of the NRA and I respect it as a great organization. I also am a Range Officer in IPSC and I love and participated heavily in the shooting sports. I write about the shooting sports. I am one. I was a fan of the late great Charlton Heston.
I watch Charlton Heston movies ad nauseam and sometimes agree with Wayne LaPierre, but some of the members frankly "scare me to death”. I hear some of their rhetoric and see little from the organization to calm their fears and actions. Fear sells membership.
Here is how it works. If we say, " the government will not take your guns away", or the Government passes laws supporting the second amendment, the new membership numbers goes down.
On the other hand if we say, "the government bought six new Black Helicopters", the new memberships go up. Of course the government bought six new "Black-Hawk" model helicopters and is using them for mosquito control, Seal team Six, or civil defense in Washington. Spin, spin, spin.
And the organizers behind some of these rallies are just looking for the right trigger. The last thing we need is a penis envy gathering of self appointed “Saviors’ of the Union”, totally paranoid that their guns will be taken away wearing their semi-automatics on the hip and their battle rifles over the shoulder. What happens when you mix gasoline, fertilizer, wood dust and a nut? Timothy McVee and some bad karma.
BACKLASH FOR THE TEA PARTY
Party TEA POTS could care less about public opinion. The government shutdown and debt ceiling fight, they believe will not harm their status as elected officials because of the well thought out non-competitive, gerrymandered districts carefully developed under secrecy most of the time, and slowly twisted to protect them.
As we come closer to the debt ceiling it became more apparent that the Tea Party thinks that they have this thing under control but, they are going to find out they might lose the support of one of their strongest allies. Big business is not happy with what is going on and some of the business interests are openly thinking that it might be wiser to support more reasonable business friendly candidates then some of these slogan goofball imbeciles from the Tea Party who will ruin retail business and crash the economy.
Brilliant, "We have come to the conclusion that sitting on the sidelines is not good enough," David French, the head lobbyist at the National Retail Federation, told the New York Times. Who set the cherry bomb under his seat and woke him up?
The business community was already miffed with the Tea Party's tactics ahead of the government shutdown. The powerful U.S. Chamber of Commerce, along with some 250 allied groups, sent a joint letter to Congress on the eve of the shutdown urging Republicans to back down lest they crush the weak growth the economy has fought to bring back.
