CNN to Dick Armey of FreedomWorks: 'Why are you not backing Ron Paul?'

The tea party in some cases has alomst become a joke.

While the tea party group leaders are touting that the tea party stands for individaul liberty and freedom as well as a true small government conservative, Dick Armey claims states speaking for Freedomworks that

"the movement very broadly has forsaken the possibility of having a reliable inovative small government conservative emerge thorugh the Republican party process"

The CNN host says, "What do you mean, I thought that was Ron Paul?"

Dick Army...Tea Party..?

He hijacked the Tea Party for personal gains..what a joke! Am I the only one that remembers that the "Tea Party" started as a Ron Paul grass roots fund-raiser (money bomb), in the 2007 campaign?

If you don't like the "Tea Party", don't like it for the impostors!
If you do like the "Tea Party", like it for the founders of our nation and Ron Paul who, have been fighting to protect us from tyranny for over 200 years!

Participate in America's future- Research Ron Paul- Truth will Prevail! You too, will be proud one day, to be able to say: "I was a Ron Paul supporter."

Down the memory hole, comrade...

..."Tea Party" now means "I love all the policies of the GOP establishment, but I also use the word 'Constitution' in every other sentence."

Not universally, of course. Some self-ascribed "tea partiers" are legitimately opposed to the GOP establishment, at least on economic issues, but I think they're in a minority, as every other Republican seems to think of himself as a tea partier, and most tow the party line.

Absolute Coward

Dick Armey is lame. If he had any guts at all he would stick to what he says the Tea Party is supposed to be about.

They have the perfect candidate in Ron Paul and they are blowing it.

"Once you become knowledgeable, you have an obligation to do something about it."- Ron Paul

The Tea Party doesn't exist.

The Tea Party doesn't exist. It's just the GOP. The GOP sent Armey to pee on the campfire of liberty that we started there in 2007.

Listen to what this hump actually says..

To establish his tea partyness, he opens with:

"I don't like politics, they have bored me my whole life."

Armey is a career politician.

Listen to the way he talks about the liberty and freedom part of his "party platform"

"..of course we're for individual liberty and freedom and stuff. And everybody doing their own thing."

..he just left out the ..yada, yada... It sounded like a used car salesman extolling the virtues of undercoating in California.

The Tea party supporters are either ignorant or complicit.

It must be difficult to continue the charade. Palin, Armey, Cain, Trump, now Gingrich, Limbaugh and Hannity!!!

So now all of these traitors are against the Neocon GOP they created?!?!?!

Sure they are. They're just trying to re-brand so they can stay on TV. They are puke maggots.

I start to feel very

I start to feel very uncomfortable every time the MSM starts talking about the person who gets the nomination may not be in the race right now. I think that would be the DUMBEST thing the GOP could do right now. Have a brokered convention and select someone other than who has been running for the last year?

What a joke

Dick Armey is pompous ass. I wish there were more people that saw how hypocritical the establishment is. How can they say they are for small government and support gingrich or romney? I mean, this is a cruel joke to the halfway intelligent and free thought people of the country.

A-typical politician

thanks for the demonstration Mr. Armey

From the very beginning

the MSM dubbed US, the RP movement, the "Teaparty" so they could discredit.

Same reason we're having so much trouble with government. It's a hydra with a million heads, and we're not sure which one to cut off....or that was until Ron told us about the FED : )

Essentially, by naming us, they could distort and discredit.

Too bad the Tea Party has been compromised

The Ultimate Republican Dick Armey has compromised his wing of the tea party almost from the get go. Kinda reminds me of the Monkeys music group from the 70's.

or it is just another MSM trick to steal something from Dr.Paul, right under our noses,just like other candidates seem to be parroting Dr.Paul in debates !!

Tea Party

MANY "tea party" people claim that Ron Paul is NOT the father of the Tea Party... It doesn't matter if the first "tea party" was held in his honor, nor that the tea party started first with Ron Paul's ideals. They argue the Ron Paul is NOT the community organizer that actually set up the tea party events, and that Ron Paul himself has virtually never actively promoted the "tea party" platform. Even though Ron Paul doesn't pander even to people who should defaultedly be his supporters is more reason to vote for him...

My thoughts exactly!

Who the heck is this butt plug? The Godfather of the Koolaid movement maybe.

Now just so I don't have to suffer through it a second time, did hey say he's for a small and limited government but nobody running right now fits that description?

Ummmmmmmmm so, has he actually listened to Ron Paul or has he been so damned lazy that he takes CNN and Fox's versions of Ron Paul to be truth.... This is just way too much....

Now about that anchor lady - pretty hot ;~)

Alex Jones Interview

Jones was just had an interview where something similar to what this traitor has been saying. Geb Bush's name has been in the wind.
And then it looks like this insider is continuing the whisper.
This will get ugly.

Yeah I saw on another

Yeah I saw on another "conspiracy" site that China was actually promised Jeb as the next president... I can't believe that americans would accept the GOP ousting all of the current candidates and installing another pick...

Mr. Army should STFU

Army's problem is his tea partiers say they want limited government. But what they really want is an aggressive neo-con foreign policy. End of story.

AHHHHH!!!! does anybody else get this mind breakinig high pitch-

The Godfather of the Tea Party....
