Discussion: The Coffee Party Movement

[Marx]

That's right! There is now an alternative to the 'Tea Party'. It's called the 'Coffee Party'.

MISSION: The Coffee Party Movement gives voice to Americans who want to see cooperation in government. We recognize that the federal government is not the enemy of the people, but the expression of our collective will, and that we must participate in the democratic process in order to address the challenges that we face as Americans. As voters and grassroots volunteers, we will support leaders who work toward positive solutions, and hold accountable those who obstruct them.

If I find some free coffee in my mail box on a monthly basis.....I'M THERE.

 

[Marx]

I just wonder if this movement will bring out nuts like the Tea Party did.

 

[Kelly]

I bet they will have better taste in music...

"Expression" of the "collective will" through democracy?

 

[Timstuff]

Sounds like a lame copycat org that will probably get drowned out by the real deal. Also, I agree with Paradoxium's notion that their mission statement smells of stateism.

 

[Prison Mike]

I wonder if they supply flavored coffees...

 

[Prison Mike]

double post. it's a Coffee Party conspiracy!

 

[Lighthouse]

I'm going to patiently wait until the "Mountain Dew" party emerges.

 

[Addendum]

As much as I enjoy Mountain Dew, I'm not going to waste my time by joining a political party named after it

 

[Kelly]

I prefer Mello Yello...

 

[Paradoxium]

Some of you are sugar fiends

 

[Prison Mike]

I love saying Mello Yello

Hey, Mello Yello got me through many a finals week in college...

Every movement has nuts. It requires nuts for a movement to run.

 

[Scourge2099]

Who's the Coffee Party's Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin ?

I haz me some cordyceps, very disgusting om nom nom

 

[Kelly]

The only problem with Coffee and Mello Yello is that some of my studying was not exactly at my desk....*smiles*

You do have a good point man.

Who's the Coffee Party's Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin ?

That's what I'm curious to know.

 

[Paradoxium]

Michael Moore. He wants to impeach Obama for being a Kenyan.

So that's why peanuts always show up when I haven't eaten any recently...

 

[The Overlord]

"Expression" of the "collective will" through democracy?

Isn't democracy an expression of collective will on a certain level? Doesn't the party that gets the most votes gets to set the agenda, thus fulfilling the collective desires of the majority that voted for them?

Are all elected leaders, ever, like Hitler and Stalin?

 

[Timstuff]

I should start the Monster Party, because that sounds bad ass.

 

[Addendum]

Too late
