This is freaking me out, but

This is freaking me out, but I am getting a woman crush on her for being so good to RP. I can't believe I just said that.

What Ron Paul Must Do

Is to state without reservations that he is a libertarian and has always been a libertarian.

why would he do that?

why would he do that?

I have some hope that the corporate

media saying endlessly that the NeoCons have hijacked the tea party "movement" is just more lies. Are the bulk of the angry, awakening citizens really being duped right back into the sheepfold so easily? Time will tell, but Medina's contest is challenging that view.

So I'm hoping the discouraging news is more force-fed disinformation, the personification of which is the vile Palin puppet.

Ron Paul Inspired Tea Party , is About Government Stealing.

Stealing from the working classes through taxation, and stealing through big bank bailouts !

And Palin is just another neo-con war monger !

Why don't they mention that?

From George Vreeland Hill

A Tea Party is about speaking the truth.
If Ron Paul is excluded, then it is no Tea Party.
Ron Paul speaks the truth.

Don't forget who Maddow works for either.

She doesn't want to do anything constructive or she would be reporting on the large number of Tea Partiers who are NOT NeoConned.

Sure, Sara Palin is a tool.
She's proved that recently. But as I've said before, I am not concerned about her leading US astray.

Quick show of hands,...
How many of you DailyPaulers are ready to sign on to endless wars and unlimited "defense" spending because good ole Sara says so?

Anybody?...

Anybody?...

No, the people we need to worry about are the conservative (NOT NEO-conservative) Republicans who might listen to this horse manure. (I doubt if any of the other Tea Partiers would give her the time of day.)

These are the people we should be educating at the CPAC, grassroots Tea Party events, at our county GOP committees and Republican Women groups.

It's not just the tea parties either.

Not only have these neocon Palinites hi-jacked the Tea Party movement, but I notice more and more they are referring to themselves as "libertarians"! First it was Glenn Beck, Hannity, and Limbaugh calling themselves "libertarian", now it is every Joe the plumber out there who thinks they are as well. Worst of all, people who have been lifelong libertarians are being called "leftist" and other nonsense! Remember when we were saying we needed to take-over the GOP from the neocons? What happened? It appears they have just re-labeling themselves, and marketed it to associate themselves with "liberty" which they know nothing about!

We are witnessing socialism from the margin

We sit at the fringe overlooking a bunch of actors pretending to be us while stealing our audience as well as our reputations.

The role of a farmer, in Fukuoka's mind, is an observer, not an intervener, of the natural order in his/her particular landscape. How is that any different than Hayek in regards to Economics?

How nice...

that Rachel is making the difference between the Tea Partiers and the Ron Paul people so crystal clear! I LOVE it.

Yes

It would be nice if the Ron Paul people were as clear about the distinction.

Tea Party is not throwing movements leader out.

That's the only play Neo-cons have left.
They can not argue facts, because both Republicans and Democrats are still for the war that is SOLELY based on LIES.

No matter what articles come out trying to shake the minds of Tea Party supporters, we will not be fooled.
The honest Tea Party movement will not be stolen, because we check who RON PAUL supports, as he is the one that has worked over 30 years on the issues at hand, and HIS VOTING RECORD FOLLOWS SUIT.

All politicians have a voting record, and most people an ability to access government voting records to check the Facts of each wanna be Tea Party Representative.

If they don't walk the walk, and ONLY talk the talk,
supporters of the movement will not be suckered at all...lol.
On the contrary, TEA PARTY Activist's will -EXPLOIT- -the NAMES and DISTRICTS- of the (Fake Tea Party goers/NEOCON-Dems/Repubs), all over the internet BEFORE THEY EVEN KNOW WHAT HIT THEM!!!

We are the minute men, and we are the watchmen.
We ring the bell and warn the people when their liberty is being threatened.
We know history repeats itself.

Our eyes are sharp like the eagles, we see from great distances the predators and the prey.

End Crony Capatalism, Restore the Republic, Restore freedom in the market place, Free our Currency/ commodity/ resource backed Dollar/certificates.

For the past several decades only 1% of America has experienced capitalism, BECAUSE we DONT HAVE CAPITALISM, we have GOVERNMENT DICTATED CAPITALISM.

Free our family private businesses, restaurants, mom and pop stores.

No one alive today has seen True Capitalism in which all can participate.
But this is what TRUE BLUE TEA PARTY SUPPORTERS ARE FIGHTING FOR!!!

Long live the Republic, and may it quickly be Restored to its Rightful Natural Beauty.

LIBERTY OR DEATH!!!

yea we will

"No matter what articles come out trying to shake the minds of Tea Party supporters, we will not be fooled."

Uhh, yea, most Tea Party supporters will be fooled. People have very short term memories, that's why we always vote out one criminal and replace him with another one, cycle after cycle.

My take: Ron Paul "left" the Tea Party?

Was he ever really part of it?

Now that the MSM and the Republic-cons have taken over the tea party they are trying to throw Ron Paul under the Tea Party bus, that is what we are seeing.

RON PAUL 2012

Ron paul left nothing, Are you still Swayed by media???

After all this time, work and effort. You still seem to not see the exposure the movement is getting.
You want Ron Paul in office?
Well look where he is today?
Has any of his votes changed?
Has any of his principles changed?
He can not Force anyone else free choice to change, as
a Neo con CANNOT Change His Choice or principle.

4 years to get good representation in the door, and people start "back on the old wagon" of Apathy???

How can anyone be so spoiled?
Like a bunches of kids???
Patience People Patience- It is a Virtue.

LIBERTY OR DEATH!!!

The Ron Paul Boston Tea Party

was an EVENT of the Ron Paul Revolution Campaign. The subsequent Tea Party groups were certainly inspired by that event but as far as I know there is not a 'Ron Paul Tea Party group'.

The National Tea Party event is just ONE tea party group..one of the ones that is neocon GOP co-opted. There are other tea party groups that are made up of Libertarian, Independents, Constitution Party, Traditional Republicans and some Disillusioned Dems.

I think The National Tea Party/Palin following neocon faction alienates most of the other Liberty movement. So the only faction that is hi-jacked is the hard core GOP, neocon faux tea partiers that would probably never change thier views anyway!

Take Heart My Friends!

It is sickening to see this kind of thing happen; to see your hopes and dreams chipped away, but it's actually good news!

Being on the outside, as we are, we can never be sure just how solid our movement is. This complex, high-level charade is evidence they are worried.

The pitch-fork crowd grows stronger every day; a very dangerous situation for those in power. (They know what happens when the masses find out what they've been up to!)

Take heart, and be vigilant. This is not the only arrow in their quiver, and it's certainly not the sharpest!

I'm not a fan of Maddow, but

I'm not a fan of Maddow, but she was spot on with this segment.

I liked

what Rachel said: "...He's (Ron Paul) now getting challenged by the SUPPOSEDLY Libertarian-leaning conservatives that his Presidential candidacy inspired..."

That's correct, imo--Ron Paul is a REAL Libertarian-leaning conservative; those challenging him are PHONIES, and should be outed as such!

That guy was very annoying, imo. He spouted half-truths...like Ron Paul wanting to abolish Social Security. Here's a few links about Ron Paul's REAL STANCE on Social Security:

I prefer, "Champion of the Constitution."

That describes him better, and he used it himself:

Maddow: "And now on the show we are joined by the Champion of the Constitution, Congressman Ron Paul."

:)

The Puppet Master of Maddow and Republicans is the same.

They play both Democrats and Republicans against each other and control the outcome.

Instead, we all need to unite under the law. Why are you not upholding the law Maddow and exposing those that violate it?

It's the mainstream media who

It's the mainstream media who are telling us that Sarah Palin is the head of the Tea Parties. Palin has been anointed by the Republican Establishment and mainstream media, as an attempt to take over the Tea Parties.

Keep pushing END THE FED, Get US out of the United Nations, Bring the troops home and stay out of other nations affairs, End the Patriot Act and restore our civil rights. The NeoCons will scatter.

We are never going to return to Constitutional government by following people who support Rick Perry in Texas, and help McCain campaign for re-election.

But Sarah Palin is great and everybody loves her

Right guys? Whoever thinks Ron Paul's ideas are getting out there effecting change through the "tea parties" is dead-ass wrong. What level of moron does one need to be to not see right this bs? SARAH PALIN is a bigger tool than Glenn Beck could ever dream of being. Rand should have told her to kiss a butt and talk a walk.

Misty eyed indeed!

I'm a regular reader of DP, but never posted before. But I think this topic is huge and I feel sick thinking that our movement has been highjacked!

Also, at 2:20, Weigel mentions a Tea Party he went to in Georgetown in 2007, here is the article he wrote about it...

http://reason.com/blog/2007/12/17/tea-party-07-the-view-from-dc

I'm the "Patrick" who didn't need the attention back then, and still do not. Since then, I got married, moved, had a baby, and life moves on. But I've watched the movement closely and can't help the sinking feeling it has been highjacked. Palin = McCain = Bush = Obama. What to do?

Cheers, Patrick

Oh no...there's a new brand of Tea

and it's got some Kool-Aid in it! :)
