RESPECT - We got a little bit, Baby!

Last night CNN hosted the first ever Tea Party debate with Tea Party Express and more than 150 tea party groups across the country.

 

It was a historic night and the Tea Party Movement was given the respect it deserves.  The staff at CNN did an excellent job!  The people behind the scenes who help those in front of the screens were professional, supportive and patriotic.  Those in front of the screen were too and willingly gave the tea party the microphone for the day. 

 

Tea Party Express has spent nearly a year working with CNN on this debate.  The Florida Tea Party Group leaders helped fill the seats with Florida Tea Party Members.  Tea Party Express never took center stage and instead gave the applause to individual tea party groups nationwide.  Tea Party Express has proven their heart to the tea party groups and earned our respect for their hard work.

 

The candidates made sure they shook hands with attendees afterwards in the debate hall and at the After Debate Party.  From the conversations at the party, it appears there was no clear front runner but two were crossed off the list.  Huntsman came across as an elite politician and Ron Paul went over the top with blaming America for the 9/11 tragedy.  There will still be the strong Ron Paul supporters who will argue that point – but the tea party members have had enough with Mr. Paul. 

 

Rick Perry took a beating for some of his policies and admitted he made some mistakes along the way.  Mitt still will not admit he was wrong about Romneycare.  The tea party is strong on wanting that apology but it seems we will not get it.  Santorum had a great moment when he called out Ron Paul on his 9/11 stance.  Cain plays the “Godfather” role well and the audience loves his answers.  Newt's one ling zingers are always fun.  Michelle knew more about Obamacare than anyone else on the stage and is adamant about repealing it in 2012.  The tea party stands with her on that issue.

 

We will be packing up and heading home today.  My feet hurt and we are exhausted.  But the good outweighs the bad.  We are proud of last night.  We hope America and those who called us names we did not deserve, saw who “we the tea” really are.  We are America and we are proud to be a part of this movement.  We will continue to stay together and work together to unseat President Obama and many of his far left friends in Congress.  It is our time now and we will not rest until America is returned to her Constitutional footing once again. 

 

Thank you CNN, Tea Party Express, all the candidates and the tea party members from Florida and across the country.   Respect was the word of the night and it felt good to feel that again.  We will be singing this all the way home today and we hope you will join us in a chorus across America.  Respect.

God bless and safe travels.

Rick Perry is OK with educating anchor babies of Criminal Invaders.  Perry hasn't the COURAGE to treat this as part of Mexico's strategy.  I honestly believe this is an ongoing assault against the USA, a blatant act of WAR.  Our leadership should be STRONGLY DEFENDING this country, the USA.  Instead Perry is using our patriotic tax dlooars against us.  You say, "Its only in Texas".  No way!!!  Just as the drugs find their way into every chasm of our society, so will these "Criminal Invader Offspring" fight against us a lawyers.  One needs to reflect on how the Afrikaaner subtely rooted out the British from power after the "Boer War".  That's why Jimmy Carter and the Brits promoted Mandela from terrorist to Prime minister.  I was there at the beginning of PM Vorester's career.  Mandela through a grenade into a bus of elementary school children, killing 4, maiming many.  His "wife" turned him in and testified against him.  That's been sanitized now, as will be the soon to begin terrorist acts blatantly engaged by the "cartels" of the Mexican Government.

Political correctness (or "re-education") happened, 
Lack of God's name happened, 
Lack of personal responsibility happened, 
Lack of personal integrity and honesty happened, 
Lack of respect and loyalty to our country happened, 
Lack of being an American happened. 

Did all of these things die along with common sense??

Great post Durwin, we need all the training we can get, the best way to get out the word is to have signs, signs, signs.  We r standing on corners with "No Obama" signs, we use a corner that includes a parking lot and people pull in and pick up the information and registration forms to change their Party!  Check your local laws, post corners r free speech areas as is WalMart, ck. first.

Perry is just another Bush with a different name last name.  Another flunky of the international bankers and CIA complex that will bring out country to a new low in the international community.  I hope to God that something happens and Slick Rick and Romney don't become President.  It is sad that they are the ones that are leading the polls when they are the two worth candidates.  I don't understand I talk to a lot of people about political stuff and I don't know anyone that actually likes either of them so I really don't understand how they are the front runners.

Bank of America's Dead Drop To Rick Perry: "We Will Help You Out"

by Domas Jefferson on Friday, August 19, 2011 at 5:37pm

From ZeroHedge

Should we be surprised, frightened, disgusted or simply say "we knew it", that in the informal mixer just after Texas Governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry spoke at a Politics and Eggs breakfast in Bedford, New Hampshire, an unknown gentlemen approaches a casual Perry like an Ian Flemming character, and proceeds to dead drop the following: "Bank of America... We will help you out"... and silently moves on. At least we know now who is funding what, and whose interests potential future president Perry will be paid to defend.

Fast forward to precisely 40 minutes into the blow clip (full event can be found here).

@Durwin I agree. He is just as scarey as Obama because he can use Christianese to confuse those who call themselves Christians because of lack of discernment.  Not just a RINO but a CINO  also. There are to many of them walking around and let me tell you, it is hard enough being around them ,never the less to have one  as the  President of the United States of America. Dear God Help Us!

@Durwin

 

You might be right about him but I personally don't want to take that chance and be wrong.  If it is true he is not much better then Obama.  I want someone I can trust and I don't trust Perry as far as I could throw him and I don't think that is very far. 

 

If the video that Roma and Tom posted is even partially true Perry is dangerous to this country and our national security.

She was not "piling on".  Perry admitted he was sorry for doing it, for constitutional reasons.  To really know Perry one has to have lived in Texas, which I had, From Governor Mark White, Through Alcoholic Ann Richards and on.  I don't believe Perry has a "conviction of his words", at all.  Like I said, you just need to have been there.  However.  Life is a learning process.  I would like to think Perry has learned a lot from the example of Sarah Palin.  Remember, Michelle was asked the question and I believe she answered it honestly and correctly.  On reflection, I believe Perry, in his heart of hearts, knows also she was correct.  I'll vote for Perry gladly over Hussein O'bama in a NYNY second.

Very well said Cindy and on that I totally agree with you.  I'm going to try and do what I can with the time I have here but I'm a citizen of heaven first and foremost.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
