The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

The Tea Party & The Republican Party are spelled differently... but that is the only difference between them.

TeaBaggers and Republicans differ HOW???

From the TeaBaggers site...

Mission Statement
The impetus for the Tea Party movement is excessive government spending and taxation. Our mission is to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize our fellow citizens to secure public policy consistent with our three core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.

Core Values

    * Fiscal Responsibility
    * Constitutionally Limited Government
    * Free Markets



Fiscal Responsibility: Fiscal Responsibility by government honors and respects the freedom of the individual to spend the money that is the fruit of their own labor. A constitutionally limited government, designed to protect the blessings of liberty, must be fiscally responsible or it must subject its citizenry to high levels of taxation that unjustly restrict the liberty our Constitution was designed to protect. Such runaway deficit spending as we now see in Washington D.C. compels us to take action as the increasing national debt is a grave threat to our national sovereignty and the personal and economic liberty of future generations.

Constitutionally Limited Government: We, the members of The Tea Party Patriots, are inspired by our founding documents and regard the Constitution of the United States to be the supreme law of the land. We believe that it is possible to know the original intent of the government our founders set forth, and stand in support of that intent. Like the founders, we support states' rights for those powers not expressly stated in the Constitution. As the government is of the people, by the people and for the people, in all other matters we support the personal liberty of the individual, within the rule of law.

Free Markets: A free market is the economic consequence of personal liberty. The founders believed that personal and economic freedom were indivisible, as do we. Our current government's interference distorts the free market and inhibits the pursuit of individual and economic liberty. Therefore, we support a return to the free market principles on which this nation was founded and oppose government intervention into the operations of private business.

So tell me... what ISN'T a Republican Value at this TeaBaggers Site???

The Tea Party wants the Republicans to adopt their values instead of being lap dogs to the lobbyists and special interest groups the same way as the Dems are. What's wrong with fiscal responsibility, Consitiutionally Limited Government, and free markets it's a lot better than the direction we're headed in now with the illusion of a government that will provide everything for us that the governmnent knows very well they can't provide. The tea Party will campaign against a RINO that doesn't believe in their values so the Tea Party doesn't necessarilly follow what the Republican Party wants.

TeaBaggers:
Pro Gun
Anti Choice...
Tax Cuts (for the rich)
Cut Govt...
Free trade...
Tough on Immigration...
Pro Business...

TeaBagger is a different name for a Republican... that is the only difference.

Who leads the Teabagger Caucus???
Conservative Republican.
Who makes up the TeaBagger Caucus???
Republicans...

Those Republicans who were fooled by GWB now can vote TEABAGGER and feel that this time will be different... but it's still the same old GOP Candidate.

Lets take #2 for example...
Can you imagine where our seniors on Social Security would be right now if Bush has privatized social security in 2001?
The streets would be full of old people with tin cups begging for a meal.

We all may be out on the street next year if the country goes bankrupt with the way the Dems are spending money we don't have.
