Discussion: The Tea Party

[SuBe]

Did you wear a red shirt so everyone knew you were a mod?

This was the day I was Modded, so maybe...

 

[SuBe]

Huh and all this time I thought you was a girl/woman.

I guess the name got me.

But, But, I used to be SupermanBeyond!

 

[StorminNorman]

I thought was because LoisLaneBeyond just looks ridiculous.

I will be at the Glendale, CA. TEA Party. We don't have one set up for Pasadena, where our Congressman Adam Schiff is located.

SuBe - where can I print some Fairtax lit to hand out while I'm there.

Thank you very much

 

[Marx]

Me at the Naples Tea Party (over 400 attended), this past Sunday. I was manning the FairTax Booth.

Are you a current or former Marine Corps member?

 

[SuBe]

Thank you very much

You are very welcome.

Are you a current or former Marine Corps member?

Former. I was in years ago, broke my hip, got out, went back in, couldn't keep up cause of bad hip, went into Cigars.

 

[BlackLantern]

I have no USN stuff....my mom has it all....uniforms, t- shirts ,and everything

Wow, I had no clue. I've learned something new about you AND Norm today!

 

[StorminNorman]

It's your turn.

I wouldn't go that far, I am however a son of an Immigrant and my immediate family has 60+ years in service to our country.

That's great man!

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Let the Tea Bagging commence.

lmfao.

 

[Kelly]

I think its great that we live in a country where people can come together, and make their voice heard. More power to them.....

 

[Paradyme]

Let the Tea Bagging commence.

lmfao.

I was watching a show with my family and a guy was wearing a t-shirt that had a teabag on it and my mom said "Oh, you think he supports the tea parties?".

I said, "A teabag has several meanings."

Then she asked, "Like what?"

I speedily replied, "I'd rather not say but it's bad."


On a serious note though, I hope these tea parties are promoting the Fair Tax and not just a bunch of people complaining.

 

[SuBe]

The one I went to, it was a lot of people complaining, but not offering any solutions.

"Less Taxes, Less Spending" "Mail a Tea Bag!"

Ok, then what? Sending a tea bag isn't offering solutions. The FairTax IS a plan. It IS a solution. It HAS been studied, and all studies point to it being a lot more effective than sending an F'n Tea Bag.

 

[Paradyme]

I agree. If they don't propose the FairTax they need to have something else ready. Clearly nothing really holds a candle to it but they need to have something ready. I know some of them carry FairTax signs and stuff but really we should be combining the FairTax rallies and the teaparties.

 

[StorminNorman]

There is a building libertarian movement in this country, all it takes is a group of intelligent political minds to capture it and ride it to success. These Tea Parties, while wasted potential right now, have the ability to be more.

A Ron Paul with a foreign policy that can't be summed up as Isolationist could have a lot of success nationally, me thinks.
