The tea party is over. It ended when Sarah Palin walked in.

Lol I think most of the people here that are righties are Intelligent righties. Not moronic tea-baggers lol..

Ron Paul started it, Sarah Palin fucked it.

I had attended a few 'Tea Parties' before they were co-opted by the Republican Party.  I guess you could say I was a Teabagger before it was cool, or before it was square.  Whichever.

I don't consider myself a Tea Partier, but I support Ron Paul.

I think the average Tea Partier is "more intelligent" than the average American. But indeed it is foolish to generalizing to such a degree - there be both idiots and geniuses within the Tea Party, probably within almost any group, and to say "Tea Partiers are morons" makes he who posts such appear as though he is one himself, does it not?

That said, I think Tea Partiers, on average, would be at least open to the idea of Bitcoin if approached from the "anti-fed" angle - and indeed isn't that the most important angle from which to approach Bitcoin, regardless?

You keep telling yourself that, despite all of the evidence.  Don't let the facts disturb you.

Actually, the Tea Party was started by the Ron Paul supporters to get people to fund Ron Paul 2008 campaign. When the presidentials were over, Fox News, in their line of copying Ron Paul rethoric, co-opted it.

I'm not a party affiliate myself, but in this election cycle, Ron Paul is at least as loud a voice as Chuck Schumer. Adopting bitcoin is no more extreme than ending the federal reserve.

The "Tea Party" is a joke. Do you think Samuel Adams filed for a permit to have an assembly? The real Tea Partiers had real torches and pitchforks. You think a bunch of geriatrics, who had no problem with Big Government when Bush the Dumber was in charge, have any ideological consistency? They wouldn't know ideological consistency if it bit them on their wrinkled asses. Most of them MOST OF THEM are opposed to ANY cuts to social security or medicare, at least until they are dead and the genXers get to pick up the tab.

I donated to Ron Paul as part of the Money Bomb. I was one of the very few who voted for him in 1988.  Now I feel like a sucker for doing so. He's just another rich old man pissed off about birthright citizenship and wanting to go back to the way things used to be. Hey Ron, IF THINGS WERE SO GREAT, THEN HOW COME THEY GOT SO SHITTY? The Constitution is just a promise by the guys with guns not to shoot us unless they really really want to. Limited government is impossible because the government interprets and selectively enforces the rules that limit it's power. The American experiment was a failure. A noble attempt, maybe, but ultimately a giant steaming pile of fail.
