I haven't been to a rally, but I did look over the material handed to me by Tea Party Patriots at the First Friday event. I remember thinking that, as suspected, it was propaganda. I did look at their website as well...found much of the same. Sorry, but I'm not interested in being a part of that. If anyone else is, more power to you. Enjoy.
Instead of blanket accusations why not get into some specifics. Mystery papers don't get it. What exactly do they have on their website that you consider propoganda?
Well, for one, I was told they are bipartisan and they are clearly not bipartisan. Look at their website...do you see them as bipartisan?
http://www.teapartypatriots.org/At the time when I was approached by Tea Party Patriots during a First Friday event, it was propaganda about Obama...not an American citizen, not a real believer, not patriotic, is racist, is a Muslim, friend to terrorists, etc.
Your mistake, other than believing and repeating lies mentioned above, is in believing that politicians of any party are on your side. They do not care about you. In general, they vote according to who gives them the most funds.
Go ahead and be loyal to your party; repeat any absurd rumor about the other side. Get all riled up at each other and defend your party regardless of what they have done. That helps those jerks in office and does nothing to help us.
Also, politicians are so worried about who gets the credit (Dem/Rep) that they get nothing accomplished. They are running a great country in the ground, but golly gee, don't waste your vote. I've got news for you. Every vote is a wasted vote when there isn't a candidate with an ounce of integrity on the ballot.
We need to stop listening to those who have been playing us for fools. Stop doing the same thing over and over again & expecting a different result. We need to individually do our own research and know the truth rather than swallowing whatever our favorite political pundit tells us. Vote according to the truth you find...organize and act. The Tea Party had a chance to do this, but you've let morons have a microphone. When your leaders and your promoters use lies to promote your cause, make certain you name them and refute their accusations. Otherwise, it makes you all look foolish. Trust me, I know...I go to a Southern Baptist Church...not calling out morons gave us a bad name....same situation with the Tea Party.
JMHO
