More teaparty stuff

Coming in late here.

Originally, I had high hopes for this site as a way to mobilize citizens to fight the political class.

What actually happened was political class trolls used the site to attack change agents.

No different than people doing their best to paint the entire Tea Party movement as "racists".

I don't think anyone here is trying to paint the whole of the Tea Part as racist. just the most vocal, and the larger organizers.

And, it's been pointed out, that the tea party refuses to disavow the people who are blatantly racist. Like Carl Paladino

Those few racists that might show up at a rally are USA citizens who are also sick of the wasteful spending and the "generosity" the elected officials have given to our employees and themselves in some cases.

Don't confuse the "purpose" of the movement I guess I'm saying. The movement isn't about black or white, it's more about spending, accountability and that our government is just too large. You can eliminate whole departments and not even have it effect anything. So why even have them.

I don't care if carl is racist or not. We are not sending him to office to deal with race type issues. It's all about money and we are sending him to albany to clean up bull****. So far, somewhat unpolished, carl is gonna be in the primary against Lazio. The guy went and got 1000's of signatures.. Good job.

Lets say it happens and carl is the republican candidate. Who are you going to get behind.. one of our community's own? or some guy from the other side of the state who's father was involved in creating the amount of welfare we have in NYS? Along with Andy and the hud stuff. Plus what has andy really done? Start listing it out...

I wonder who lenny Lenihan and our other political party bosses are going to endorse if Carl beats Lazio? One of own from our community or some guy from the NYC area.

So, where was this "tea party" when the worst atrocities at senseless spending were occurring: GW Bush era.

There's one difference between now and then: It's now a black man in office.

Now I see where your coming from. People started to wake up during the bush era and the movement is growing. bush didn't curb spending and lately the governments are making an art of out spending without any consideration for the non-government laborer/non-government business owner.

Exactly. Many who follow the Tea Party see that Bush's socialist policies were also bad for America. Then America gets even worse with Barack Obama. I think most of the tea partiers initially are right of center because of the lefts love affair with Obama, but now many leftists are joining the ranks as well as his rating plunges.

WNY'ers are world renowned for being change adverse. It's scary, and frightening.

The population at large is so intertwined into the fabric of status quo they can barely see it. If they could see Kenmore Police dept would be disbanded.


I am for anyone that wants to change something.

Those that are not brainwashed/ or sucking the government nipple leave the state.

No its OBAMACARE. It will actually make your insurence skyrocket. He even admits it. Freehandouts for everyone but the working man.


If your talking about spending money on the wars you take all that away and really watch the economy crash. Hate to bust your bubble but its true.

Great Post.

Guys like NBuffalo are just content with the *** backwards ways the state is run now by our corrupt officials.

What's really funny is when you have the conservatives who talk about good "character" being a necessity for those who hold public office, then they'll elect a guy like Palomino even though he's a racist bastard who gets off on watching women bang horses.

What's really funny is when you have the democrats who talk about good "character" being a necessity for those who hold public office, then they'll elect a guy like Robert Byrd even though he's a racist bastard who got off being a Kleagle and a Cyclops in the KKK.

Dollars to donuts they will do everything they can to see Carl defeated, as he threatens their way of life.

You really are funny. Byrd left racism and the KKK behind a LONG time ago. Decades. Denounced it. Aside from that, Democrats don't typically tout character and morals, while they're busy doing exactly what they're saying they don't do. Like feeling guys up in bathroom stalls and hiring rent boys for example...

Says who? I'm not happy with how the state is being ran. I'm also pretty upset with the errors of the Obama administration, too.

However, I am not so unhappy with them, that I would support a group who refuses to denounce racism in their movement.

I am not so unhappy, that I would work to get a person into a gubernatorial position who (From past track record) will only do what benefits him.
