Tea Party

NBC, Meet the Press, 11/4/2012.  David Plouffe: Romney Would Try To Rubberstamp The Tea Party's Agenda

The Fort Bend County Democratic Party will hold a press conference detailing significant voter fraud by a Fort Bend County Republican Party official, candidate and Tea Party activist.

“We have credible evidence that Fort Bend Republicans have supported and celebrated a member in their ranks who has participated in serial voter fraud since 2006,” stated Fort Bend County Democratic Party Chairman Steve Brown.  “The Party of voter integrity couldn’t sniff out fraud when it was under their nose.”

They've fought for us. Walked miles in these boots. And Congressman Duffy's walked in these... a-hem... shoes. Facing a government shutdown ...Duffy voted against making sure our soldiers got paid. Against increasing combat pay. But Duffy made sure he got paid. "I've got one paycheck so I struggle to meet my bills" Congressman Duffy just doesn't get it.

And Rodney Davis? He was right in the middle of it... named on the infamous George Ryan clout list of political favors. He was even given a job in Governor Ryan's office. A career insider...he's taken nearly one million dollars in taxpayer-funded salaries. Rodney Davis? In Congress? Enough's enough.

Paul Sadler: Cruz does not represent Texas.

From May 2010, an exchange between Michael D Higgins (who was elected President of Ireland last year) and Tea Party-loving radio guy Michael Graham on Irish radio.

 

We thought we knew Dan Benishek. But in Congress, Benishek voted to essentially end Medicare. And raise costs on seniors by over $6,000 a year. He even voted to give members of Congress taxpayer funded health care. For life. Gutting Medicare and looking out for himself. It didn't take long in Washington for Congressman Benishek to show his true colors.
