Underground Politics

[Alexx]

Here is the values which the Tea Party people hold dear and these values are common sense American ones, that many I am sure agree with, no matter what party you are in.



CORE VALUES

Fiscal Responsibility
Limited Government
Free Markets


MISSION STATEMENT

The Tea Party Patriots are a group of individuals united by our shared core values. As an organization that believes in Fiscal Responsibility, Limited Government, and Free Markets, we recognize the strength of grassroots organizing powered by activism and civic responsibility at a local level. The Tea Party mission is to organize like-minded individuals, educate and inform others based on our core values, to secure public policy consistent with those values, and to positively affect the outcome of elections.



TALKING POINTS

The Tea Party core values are the values that America was founded on and they have roots in our shared heritage and belief in natural law. They derive from a belief in free will and the primacy of an individual who is responsible for his/her own actions.

An individual who is personally responsible will be fiscally responsible.
An individual who is personally responsible will make better decisions than a distant federal government
An individual who is personally responsible will productively respond to and interact with markets


RATIONALE

The impetus for the Tea Party movement has been excessive government spending. The choice of these core values recognizes what binds us together as a group, but it is also strategic in that these values have the ability to unite a supermajority of American voters. It specifically avoids addressing social issues which can be used to divide us and dilute our message.

It isn’t that social issues aren’t important; it’s that our core values help to inform our stance on the rest. We believe in limited government, so we believe that those issues are best decided at the state and local levels. Our stance on Government is rooted in the principles of Federalism enshrined in our Constitution. Since our organization is grassroots and built from the bottom up, we can unite on our shared values and address the rest at the local level if we choose to do so.

If our events, correspondence, websites, and interviews consistently speak the same message "fiscal responsibility, limited government, free markets" then we will be united on the national and international front. A united front is a strong front and it is critical for succeeding in our mission of securing public policy consistent with core values, and to positively affect the outcome of elections.

It sounds like a big pile of bullshit to me.

To begin with, no person is fully responsible for their own actions. Also, the tea party psuedo patriots are a bunch of sissies. The fact all they

do is drink tea proves that. Also, most people are grossly selfish ass holes who would sell their own mothers down the river for 25 pounds

of pork chops. Therefore, this personal fiscal responsibilty platform is built on shifting sand while the flood waters rage in.

I wonder if Alexx would post a bikini picture of herself.
