Tea Party Convention: Can You Hear Me Now?
by Andrew MarcusHere are a couple of shots from the Tea Party convention news conference which should answer the question, “Can you hear me now?”
If they can’t hear us now, it’s because they are deaf and blind, and/or don’t own a television or read the New York Times.

If they can't hear us now it's because they're in disbelief and deep denial. After November that will all change, my friends.Woo Hoo!! ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
now we will se how bad their selective hearing has become
There will always be the Sergeant Schulz(s) of the country – "I hear nothing, I see nothing".
For the rest, they had better pay attention to the wake-up call.
You snooze…you lose.
Since it normally takes about 15-18 months from the trough of an economic cycle in order for the UR to reach its peak level, Mac Daddy has 9-10% unemployment baked into his November election cake. The Dems are sitting on a keg of dynamite that's going to separate them from their butts. How's that for HOPE and CHANGE?
Liberals are still in denial, they hear nothing………………..America wants socialism, just ask a left winger………..The Tea Party movement is an absolute condemnation and rejection of all the things Liberal Democrats want for America. The Tea Party grows while the Dem support dwindles.
The good ship "Obama" is sinking and no one thought to bring a lifeboat……………
Maybe they could have the old KKK Grand Kleagle, Sheets Byrd show up. Oh, that's right the KKK are democrats.
Momentum from truth is unstoppable. November 2 will be the first day of reckoning. Ronald Reagan would be proud.
I was watching Anderson Cooper on CNN and he and his guests were stumbling all over themselves finding ways to make the tea party out as stupid rednecks.
Will the G.O.P. also hear us now or are they:
A PARTY OF CRAWFISH?
http://naturalfake.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/a-par...
If we're the tea partiers that Anderson calls "tea baggers" then who are the "tea baggees"?
We'll find out this Nov…!
DTOM!
http://RightWingStuff.com
They hear Us. That's why both parties are wearing Diapers.
The Democratic Party better stamp out the Socialists and Communists they have running their party. Obama has taken the veil off and we can all see what they are really up to. Good riddance.
I really hate to give Obama a new idea but in the near future there will be a call for getting in touch with the Tea Party Movement. They will probably have a panel of the Sushi & Gucci crowd and determine the us Tea Party members are very scary. You know that clinging to guns and Bibles is really scary! By this time Obama will have moved all the GITMO detainees to a Marriott overlooking the site of the World Trade Center, while they will await trial.
Then Obama will say he wants to meet with the Tea Party movement at GITMO. Then he will leave the Tea Party leaders there.
We need to get the message to everyone Cut the Federal Budget and start closing departments. The ones that have failed, education, energy, Dept. of Human Services, Homeland Security (who just issued a report saying we rely too much on foreign oil, man the good stuff keeps on coming, no one suggeste we drill more of our own oil!) the fereral reserve and all the other failing parts of our government.
You really need to look at the U-6 unemployment numbers 17 to 18&!!!! This is the real number of PO'ed people and growing.
No demorat left behind(no that is not a typo). After the election there will not be a demorat left standing. They will have spent more on the election and garnished less votes. Red Rover , Red Rover let the demorats come over! In your DREAMS ! It's amazing how they have revitalized the republican party (who'd have thought it).
This is how the Republican party will be transformed, much in the same way the democratic party has been subverted by the left in the last forty years.
November is gonna be a good month.
It's too bad that most of what was taken will be filtered through the lens of Modern Liberalism before being presented as 'news'. That's why statements like "it's you that sucks" are necessary from time to time. Even when taken out of context people's curiosity is piqued.
watched who? on where?
you've got a stronger stomach than I do…I can't stand to watch anything on CNN let alone Anderson Doper…
Oh, we hear you.
And we're laughing at you. T.E.A., Taxed Enough Already, after Obama cut taxes for 95% of us.
Hilarious.

Democratic congress, democratic senate, democratic white house and they still can't thwart the will of the American people. Tell me who's the loser and who's the winner. Save the republic and replace congress!!!
Yes its' hard to pay taxes when you are not working.
I know!, I know!…… it was Bush's fault
"Tell me who's the loser and who's the winner."
You guys (conservative republicans) lost. Us guys (democrats) won.
Therefore you'd be the loser and we'd be the winner.
The MSM sucks!
Is that news?
Obama said today that he is "pro-business", that would be like Adolph Hitler saying that he was "pro-Jewish!"
So let me see how his agenda is "pro-business":
1. Obamacare-mandates on all businesses, 8% payroll tax on most businesses, massive regulation of the insurance industry and massive new taxes on medical devices.
2. Cap and Tax-massive increase in energy prices, increased taxes on energy related businesses, massive tax payer funding of fraudulent "green" technology.
3. Card check-unions are great for business and jobs, just ask the airline and auto industries.
4. Massive Budget deficits redistributing wealth from productive businesses and individuals to hire thousands more people for the Justice Dept, EPA, et al. Debt also sucks up available credit from the free market, hence no loans.
5. Totally screwed bond holders of GM and Chrysler to hand over control of these companys to the unions.
6. Proposes additional taxes and fees on "large" banks, whether or not they took TARP or paid it back with interest. Gee, I wonder who will pay for this?
Yep, this a-hole is all about business, free enterprise, and free market commerce.
What a huge thrill – wish I could be in Nasville!
The winds they are a changin'
Barrack Hussein Obama,
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
No more Barry. You have three years left, don't unpack the rest of your luggage. It's time to get out. You and the rest of the incumbents. You people have looked down your nose and ridiculed the Tea Party Movement. Laughed and joked as your minions in the MSM reviled the very people you are supposed to represent.
Smell that smell? Either it's fear, or you all just collectively pooped your pants……………
the "tea party movement" won't address the one issue that possibly could oust Obama now if they actually wanted to follow the constitution as they say. Obama is not constitutionally eligible to be president because not only was he not born in this country, he may not even be a citizen…He has never produced a long-form certificate of birth because he can't…He wouldn't even be able to pass a security check to be able to be in the secret service. His father was Kenyan citizen at the time of Obama's birth which makes Obama a non-natural-born citizen even if they managed to manufacture a birth certificate….I'm sure they have one aging now…If he can be elected by unscrupulous means, which he was, he has the means to manufacture a birth certificate….The tea party movement is a big joke….
Yes Old Robert Byrd
If what you really mean when you say "…after Obama cut taxes for 95% of us" is ObowMao passed out meager checks from the magical "ObowMao Stash AKA One-Trillion-$$-Stimulus-Slush-Fund"…then I won't argue with you.
If that's really what you mean, please say so. Because it's damn near impossible to cut taxes for people who don't pay taxes. Just sayin'.
just hold your tax raise is coming when the tax cuts expire….Ohhh thats right The President said he wouldnt raise taxes on people making less than 250,000 then 200,000 then of course cap and trade he said ur bill will go up and take money from your bank account for health care hope you have a job …oh and what you owe for trillions that OBAMA SPENT…and blame on bush game the Dems were in control from 07 on…they write laws not the president…probably did'nt learn that in school on on MSNBC
I'm not a big fan of the advocates of the Tea Party becoming a 3rd party…..
I would rather see that both sides of the Tea Party………
the Republican side and the Democrat side………
THROW THE DAMN LIBERALS, PROGRESSIVES, AND SOCIALISTS……..
OUT OF BOTH PARTIES.
Yes. You won, we lost. We lost big-time. I am still gnashing my teeth and lamenting!
Exhibit A-Health Care Reform – PASSED!
Exhibit B-Cap & Trade – PASSED!
Exhibit C-Financial Regulatory Reform – PASSED!
You guys win anymore in November and I'll move to New Zealand.
P.S. Nah, I'm just poking you in the eye! It's fun for me to kick pinko commies when they're down but I do have to ask…just how BIG a supermajority do you need in all branches of government to get the above listed reforms passed over the people's will? Just askin'.
And we will not forget in November 2010, again in 2012. One and done.
mediazorba,
If Obama really had been born in Kenya, the Clintons would have dug that info up 3 years ago. Really, let it go. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to oust this socialist/progressive/populist A-Hole that you could expend your energies on.
I have never been more proud of my fellow patriots. I love you guys!
BRAVO………………well said; ed!
NO THIRD PARTIES; VOTING FOR ONE ONLY INSURES THAT WHATEVER IT IS YOU WANT, YOU WILL GET THE EXACT OPPOSITE !
Hanzo, it's not so much that they can't hear us……………………….it's that they refuse to hear us!
They hear us ok, they just think we are stupid, don't know what is good for us. Even if they do hear us they don't give a rats a-zz about us. Only their commie marxist ways matter.
TINFOIL !
If Obama was as "brilliant" as his drooling sycophants claim ( which he isn't ! ), he would try to coopt some of the things we want.
Instead, he is happily on the way to destroying the Democrat Party. LOL
I agree but where there is smoke there is heat. I agree he couldn't be hired on to anything relating to national security.
Anderson Cooper is soooooo……
Oh yeah,…….. he never was.
He aint go three years left if we the people get our way. Aftern Nov he will basically be powerless anyway.
I would have and did. They always, ALWAYS, over reach.
I would suggest also reinstating the House of Un American Activities Committee (HUAC), and trying Peolosi. Reid, Dodd, Frank, Shumer, Rangel, et al for crimes of treason or just sheer stupidity.
Obama did NOT "cut taxes for 95% of us"; what he did and still IS doing, is adding onto your already heavy tax burden, in every way he and the Dem majority in Congress can !
Roughly half of "us" don't pay taxes at all… so how exactly did they get "cut" taxes?
Somehow I doubt you are laughing, due to the invective and hate you spew at people regularly. But I guess you need to cling to something to convince yourself that you aren't falling into a dark pit of loathsomeness so feel free.
why? of course they are, the 2008 elections wasn't won by ACORN either.
all Depends
It's hard to pull the race card because whites are what got Obama elected.
Also, the man is half white.
A note to all my tea party friends, PLEASE DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
1) The republican party will use you like they used the christian right.
2) The republican party will tickle your ears with small government rhetoric, yet approve foreign aid for Haiti.
3) The republican party will promise lower taxes, yet the foreign policy they support won't allow for it.
Please understand that no politician will be your knight in shining armor in November. This has been the hopes and dreams of many for decades and decades. No politician will change the U.S. federal government in November.
Let economic principles and the will for liberty to work its course.
Pro Tip #1: plant a garden
Yours Truly,
Knoxs
the whole tea party thing throws a monkey wrench into the whole system and has the media and politicos going a little insane now, we are supposed to sit down, listen and pick between tweedle dee and tweedle dumber, just now people are tired of picking between the lesser of two EVILs, time is now for something good to happen.
We're gonna' have fun in November, eh 1rc?
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
Forget the race card and the BS name calling and all the other. That is what they want. From now on WE set the rules-WE call the shots-WE are in charge-WE frame the argument-from now on.
I agree, the Tea Party should cling it's decentralized nature and not attempt to become a 3rd party, I think that would be a disaster in the long run. We need it to avoid becoming homogenized, and we need to make sure that the enemies of liberty have to keep guessing. A moving target is hard to hit, and crystalizing a platform only opens the door for focussed opposition.
It doesn't really matter if they hear us or not, in fact it bodes well the farther into the fray we plunge, without presenting a clear target, that they dismiss, deride and do their level best to ignore us.
It's like the ACORN people say, I AM ACORN.
Well I am the tea party, and you and you and you and you. It's not a partisan thing, it's a liberty thing, and as the old racial adage goes….they wouldn't understand ! bahahaha I kill me!
Just like my man JohnnyKnoxs says, don't be fooled by partisans. they're the one's who got us here and they're the one's who embarrass us for our support of them, Dem or Repub, left right and center, we're not going to be pimped like sheep any longer.
We are the tea party.
Yesterdays news, Ralph.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
"Oh we hear you". Who is "we", jtwerp? You might be schizophrenic but at least you have eachother, right?
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
Excellent post, Cam. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
mediaretard, we ALREADY know all of the details, you have to let this case go through the courts now, imbecile.
Your last sentence tells us everything we need to know. Your brain has mislead you.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
I happen to agree with you.
Plant a garden.
Build a root cellar.
Buy guns and ammo.
I've heard ol' johnny called everything except a man, that's a first. Just because he made a somewhat sentient post, don't be fooled, even a broken clock is right twice a day, CS.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
Not bad but I am trying to understand why you hate us Jews.
we didn't get a tax cut, pay the same amount of taxes, just have to pay them at a differant time
I spent some time today reading the comments on an article about Sarah Palin on Huffington Post. Man, the libs must be really, and I mean really nervous with this Tea Party convention. You have never read such vile, vulgar, condescending, ugly attacks in your life. They are scared, that is for sure. Alinsky would have been proud, the ridicule flowed faster than a sewer in the cholera ward! The interesting thing is that it no longer has any effect on me or so many of the right. We know it just a game they play, especially played hard when they are losing or have no other argument!
i wish u guys would care more about america winning instead of just ur party. thats whats wrong with ur POLITICS
[...] Read more here: » Tea Party Convention: Can You Hear Me Now? – Big Government [...]
as always spot on
hahah thanks hanzo but a good point is a good point, I'm sure there are a fair number around here who are a few fries short of a happy meal to one extent or another.
You betcha…………………after hours and hours and hours of hard work, helping out chosen candidate/s win the election and take back back this blessed nation.
hahah tater I was a sentence into your post thinking to myself that I don't even care if they flame Palin any longer. There's such a thing as becoming de-sensitized and then there's another thing that occurs called becoming "tempered".
They''ve smeared her so awfully and viciously that even if they have a valid point of criticism to make it's simply not making a dent on me any longer. Besides she was a PTA mom in my kids schools where I have 4 of 5 kids attending, the mayor of my home city, and governor of my state. I think I know a little bit on the topic of what Palin is about, no need to bother with vicious little pukes who get their kicks being crass and salacious on the topic.
Why can't you people understand that there is no court that will require him to produce his real birth certificate. If you want him removed for not meeting qualifications (as I do) this can only be accomplished by retaking the House. Only the House has the power and responsibility to verify the qualifications of the elected president. Only support candidates who will require the production of his real BC. Fighting this your way is as effective as launching the D-day invasion by making the Army swim there from New York. Play it smart or lose to the Progressives again and again. This is no longer a country under "The Rule of Law", and will never be again until we retake the House and Senate.
In November every seat that comes up for election will be filled. Some of the races will come down to a clear cut choice between small government, constitutional candidates, and big government socialists. Some will not. I am a huge supporter of the Tea Party and of the concept of “We the people…” I believe that this is greatest country on Earth, and I believe in the vision of the Founding Fathers. However, I am also a pragmatist. While I believe that we should always support those candidates that represent these principles, I also know that in many races we will be faced with “a lesser of two evils” situation. I hope that as the Tea Party movement goes forward, and we look to change the course of our bloated, corrupt Federal Government, that we do not forget that November is only the BEGINNING. I much rather have a Lindsey Graham in office than a Nancy Pelosi. If we can get a Jim DeMint, Michelle Bauchman or Mike Pence, or a Marco Rubio then even better.
continued:
But one thing we can do starting in 2010, and going forward, is make it politically PAINFUL for those that refuse to listen to “We the people.” This in reality is where our greatest strength lies, and if you look at the defeat of Obamacare and the subsequent victory in Massachusetts we have already been heard!
Where did you EVER come up with a wrong headed, addle brained thought like that? I don't hate Jews.
Barry, BarryO is that you??
I hope a third party emerges from the Tea Parties and similar organizations. The Republicans can then merge with their ideological brothers, the Democrats.
negative
That's how I feel. We need both the Dems and Repubs but need to get the Progressives out of office. There are 81 of them listed in the Progressive caucas. Of the 20 comittees that write laws, 11 are Progressives. Which explains the standstill in DC. They should be noted now so they can't run and hide later. And in 2012 WE THE PEOPLE will get rid of THEIR leader.
Remember Biden is #2 . Not sure if he'd be any better. Let's look at #3, Dang that's Pelosi. How far down do we have to go before we get to a Democrat instead of a Progressive.
The birther issue is mute at this point. His Progressive agenda is coming to light and being stopped. Besides do we want Biden or Pelosi representing our country?
……..soooooooooo metrosexual?
Louisiana , keep the heat up on Landreau.
Hope the smell of burnt toast is nauseating her day and night.
Can't you just hear her now? "I'm just a poor little victim of this and that."
Heard she's hiding out……. can't go out in public.
Oh yea, Great job of dropping the "F bomb" on Senator Vitter
(Would love to see the video of that one.)
would LOVE to have a look at that one on video……….anyone have a copy??
You might just have a good idea.
When the country was in trouble who was it that took up the fight? It was the patriots that understood the value of freedom that took up that fight, and we did it with gusto and immediacy. I am so proud of my fellow Americans. You bet they can hears us now – thing is they are so prone to the march of folly that will not adjust. We are going to take them out this November. Thank you my kindred souled citizens.
The GOP will be more than glad to squander this opportunity by nominating Scozzzafavas, to be endorsed by Gingrichs. Unless and until there is a Major Unpleasantness, expect more of the same-old same-old. The stench is overwhelming.
No I was asking JohnnyKooK who always attacks Israel and calls us neocon.
For the Tea Party movement to be effective, it must operate similar to Al Qeda, or however you spell it. Wait, before you jump all over me hear me out. I am talking only about the loose structure and common goal, certainly not any violence. The reason the US is having such a difficult time in defeating this enemy is that it lacks a lot of central organization yet it is very focused on it's goal. I don't think it will go away even if Bin Laden was taken out. The Tea Party movement must also remain very focused on it's goal and keep those goals to a minimum for now. This is the only way to have an impact without a pronounced leader or centralized organization. Too many agendas will fragment the local groups rendering the movement ineffective on a national level.
It may not be necessary for the Tea Party folks to ever become a national power broker anyway. We can't forget the old adage that "all politics are local" because it is still true. Senators and Congressmen are elected from local districts. The key will be staying focused on just a few goals so influences from outside a local district can't come in to disrupt the unity that can achieve political victories.
Personally, I spell it Al Qaeda. Just sayin'. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
No, he was such a great reality TV host.
These days, he seems more given to hosting fiction on TV.
By "pro-business," he means "pro-businesses-that-pay-me; the rest can go ^&%^& yourselves."
I like that; "No democrat left behind," in D.C. But a lot of the old guard republicans need to go too.
"Conservative" Republicans didn't even have a horse in the race. That's the only reason the democrat worms were allowed in.
But guess what. We're back. And when we're through, you will be eating wilderness dust for generations to come. We hope you enjoyed your moment in the sun.
Or is it the sunlight that finally did you in?
What they want to hear are hints of racism. trust me, they'll find it somehow, even if they have to plant a wolf in sheep's clothing with a KKK sign
His father was Kenyan citizen at the time of Obama's birth which makes Obama a non-natural-born citizen even if they managed to manufacture a birth certificate…
This seems to be the point to me.
I watched Sarah, at the convention… I thought the tea party was going to be a grass roots effort not a lead effort.. and believe me Sarah has been trying all to hard to lead the Tea Party Her words just do not seem to come from her heart. If she meant it, then why the hell did she endorse McCain. She is just trying to Use the tea partiers. What turned me off of Palin is she is fake. I know she is fake becuase she has been so quick to throw People under the bus.. and she is always using her family as political tools.. Rahm Emanuel says Retard and she throws her poor baby into the mix, Rush says Retard and she says nothing. Nothing Maverick about this Politician. She needs to go home and take care of her kids.
I am a Tea Party Goer., but I guess normal people have no say with this movement accourding to the 500 dollar fee, or Sarahs Speaking fee of 100k. Huckabee Was against all the bail outs unlike her., He would be more Tea Partyest than this so called "Maverick" She didnt even finish her commitment to the people of Alaska, instead opting to further her political career and pocket book. That was a campaign speech, and not very well delivered. "Run Sarah Run"…..Where have I heard that before?…Wait…oh yeah, "run Forrest run".
I just need kool-aid and a candy bar (German chocolate). Snoozin' ain't so bad… less pain that way… Join Us! It is virtually painless… Would I steer you wrong? Oh, and a word on steers:

Old, but classic. Discipline???
another bad day working at the DMV there Shar P?
Do you mean that extra 3.00 I get in my paycheck every two weeks. I mean that is a real big boost to anyone. Tell Mr. Obama that everyone that stil has a job it's really helping pay the bills. I can buy that organic yogurt my wife is always asking me to buy. Enough with the sarcasm. We need real tax cuts. Reagesque style cuts. We need to add a small tariff on some imported goods. .01% of 9 trillion a year in imports coms out to be a nice chunk of change without damaging our cost of goods dramatically. China wants our money. They need it. Whether they threaten or not they will go along with it. all Obama is doing is filling the other shoe with sand. He cuts some money one way while taking it another way. Stop taking it from those have so it can go naturally through the cycle to the have nots in the form of job's for one. Get a clue.
Not sure why you are tunning into CNN, but thanks for keeping us informed and for being an Army Mom. We all thank them for their service!
