    Never, the 2 party/1 system works out to good for the elites. They will never ever let a 3rd party rise to prominence.

    If you're not religious and like the tea party, you are an Ayn ran sycophant - either way, the things you believe in are preventing the country from moving forward

    They were taken hostage as a result of your earlier insane presidents' overthrowing democracy in Iran, as your brainwashers don't allow you to know. He was a fool to allow the cowboys to turn him pirate - as always they made a pig's breakfast of their colonial bullying - but that's the effect of living in a cowboy madhouse.

    The tea party and the old guard GOP are definitely in a fight for power. It is extremely hard to buck the system but the tea party is giving it a great try. I wish them luck.

    Pssst . . . how a president handles something on the spot tells you about that particular president's abilities and none of them ever ran for the presidency who claim not to be absolutely cracker jack trouble shooters and emergency responders. So Carter's screw-ups were Carter's screw-ups just as Obama's screw-ups are Obama's screw-ups. If they are not going to be president enough to handle problems in a competent manner as they arise during their first term then they should not be arrogant enough to run for a second term of office.

    Moving forward to what, Euro style austerity? We CANNOT SUSTAIN this kind of spending, no matter how you want to try and spin it. We are merely creating dependents of the system the more we give gifts. You are creating slaves... Slaves of the state to where they have no choice but to vote for your unrealistic Utopian society were the rich will pay for everything while the minions work and and make great money and dance among the flowers. And you have the gull to call me a sycophant? I have no allegiance to any high profile celebrities or lobbyist. I merely care for which direction this nation is going and WHO will have to pay for your pompous (we can manage your life better) big government spending. You're willing to destroy a free society and destroy the middle class. You can't help the poor by creating more of them!

    And you seriously call yourself a JFK Democrat???? "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country"

    my country is a nation filled with people, not corporations and not only the rich.
    trickle down economics has failed repeated and while i am not advocating for socialism as you ignorant assume, i am for curbing the power of the rich to act as an oligarchy resulting in half the nation making below-poverty wages.

    The report of the TEA Party's death is greatly exaggerated.

    But... we appreciate the propaganda from the DailyKos and MediaMatters crowd. It makes for some good comedy.

    They were taken HOSTAGE because Carter dismissed the reports that proved that the Iranians were becoming radicalized. FYI Nixon and Ford were never MY presidents as I did not VOTE for them.

    It's really PATHETIC that you always have to blame someone else for the failures of a Democrat or a Liberal.

    BTW Nice of you to ignore the link that I posted.

    But here are some 'more' proving that Obama has surpassed NIXON in the depths of his corruption.

    No where in my rebuttal did I state you are an advocate of socialism. You are the one putting words into my statement, not me. I only state that the more we spend, the more we will end up like Europe and their austerity woes as we continue to spend like a drunken sailor at Vietnam bath house (no disrespect to our vets). You are, however, advocating redistribution of wealth. And regarding trickle down economics, that is a topic for another debate but I assure you that is a heated discussion that would have antidotes for both against and for trickle down economics. I can assure you, I've benefited from it. Again, that's for another discussion.

    You might want to check on health insurance with ehealth.com. You might get some lower prices than with the ObamaCare site. I don't know if this site works throughout the country, but it sure saved my cousin a lot of money.

    Good luck to you.

    The Reform Party is still here and look at their capacity in politics. They got candidates elected too.

    Unfortunately for the Tea Party, there are more RINO voters then Tea Party voters; most of my RINO friends view the Tea Party as nothing more then a party of extremists; so I still maintain that the party will coast slowly into the depths of irrelevence.

    What Tea Party? There's about 50 of them and if "most members" don't know about it, perhaps it's some non-mainstream Tea Party.

    And I'm not concerned about the internet. I'm concerned that the U.S. doesn't spend its way into oblivion.

    Stop reading form your bull(*)(*)(*)(*) sources.

    Obama and Reid's refusal to even get to the table prior to October 1st and a shutdown is exactly the reason there was a shutdown.

    ... and that you used places like the HuffingtonPost and MSNBC as sources.

    You clearly demolished his vacuous argument.

    Well, I'm off to the Republican Party Precinct Captain's meeting for my county in Ohio. We added over 100 new Tea Party Captains since last election and tonight we are voting to seat about fifty more. Our growing numbers are a clear indication of how fast we are dying. Someone should have told us we were finished.

    10. Maintain Local Independence
