At the voter level, the Tea Party is a movement that purports to be furious about government spending — only the reality is that the vast majority of its members are former Bush supporters who yawned through two terms of record deficits and spent the past two electoral cycles frothing not about spending but about John Kerry's medals and Barack Obama's Sixties associations. The average Tea Partier is sincerely against government spending — with the exception of the money spent on them. In fact, their lack of embarrassment when it comes to collecting government largesse is key to understanding what this movement is all about — and nowhere do we see that dynamic as clearly as here in Kentucky, where Rand Paul is barreling toward the Senate with the aid of conservative icons like Palin." - posted 10-06-10 Rand Paul kisses neocons' ring, but some neocons remain wary A quote...."One faction of the GOP that has remained particularly wary of Rand Paul's Senate candidacy are neoconservatives who are still angry about his father Ron Paul's criticism of Israel and his disdain for Bush-era military adventurism. - In the past, Rand has echoed his father's views, opposing the Iraq War, and from the neocon point of view, the Paul family's isolationism is as whacked out as anything hatched by the anti-war left. - Now, it turns out, Rand is looking to mend fences.

"By giving money to "educate," fund, and organize Tea Party protesters, they have helped turn their private agenda into a mass movement." -- Mayer neglects to mention that the Koch's are Jews or crypto Jews; instead she tries to give them a "goy gloss." Editor's Note: this website editor is not "anti-Jewish", but it must also be said that this particular item came as a highly disappointing surprise. The Jewish community in the United States consists of roughly 2% to 3% of its total population, and to be quite frank, it is becoming extremely tiresome and utterly tedious to repeatedly find Jewish money power, (Bernanke, Larry Summers, Goldman Sachs, the Fed, many of the Banksters, much of K-Street, et al), Jewish political power (AIPAC, Israel et al), Jewish media power (FOX "news", New York Times, S.I.T.E. Intell, et al), Jewish intellectual power (PNAC, a Clean Break, et al), behind almost every single major economic, political, and military decision made in this country during the last thirty years. Most of them not only disastrous or even catastrophic for the people of this nation, but also highly profitable or geo-politically advantageous for many members (not all!!) of the "Jewish Community", either here or in Israel. In fact this endless parade of Jewish involvement in these decisions and policies is becoming increasingly annoying. It would be an actual relief, a distinct pleasure in fact, if the next evil plan like PNAC, or evil media campaign for war, or another nefarious take over of the political establishment is attempted by a group composed of those other than members of the "Jewish Community". - mpg - posted 09-24-10 ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ====== Tea Party is Just a Media Spectacle Video - Alt - (RTYuTb - 6 min 16 sec - September 22, 2010) - Source: TheAlyonaShow - Producer: RussiaToday -- A quote...."(RussiaToday) – “The Tea Party is a media spectacle to make working people believe they have power,” Joe Bageant (author of "Rainbow Pie: A Redneck Memoir", [Borders, A&R, QBD, Amzn.uk, Rdngs]) said during an interview on RT, a global television network based in Moscow, Russia." - posted 09-24-10 Prepare To Be Betrayed A quote...."You might as well know right now, however, that the Tea Party, no matter how successful it is at the polls in November, will certainly betray the party of liberty.
