The Tea Party tug of war

Remember in 2008, when people were complaining how Obama was all things to all people? Same thing is going on with the Tea Party. The moderate-republican radio show I listen to says it's all financial, whereas Free Republic thinks they are basically all Freepers.

As the 2012 election approaches, this fault line is getting more dangerous. Hence, Freeper reactions when Pro-Lifers are not allowed to pass out pamphlets at a Sacramento Tea Party rally:

UCFRoadWarrior thinks the people who started the Tea Party are the real fake Tea Party! Or something like that:

A “Fiscal Conservative” is neither....

I wonder if this is the Tea Party group aligned with Freedom Works....the pro-illegal/anti-American group run by Dick Armey?

Why would any Tea Party group diss a pro-life organization is beyond me.

Mozilla knows that anyone who hates Obama should be welcome:

You know we are headed to a bigger downfall in the country and the world for that matter when even the tea party is not enough. The Tea party silences people who every well could have issues against Obama. So what good is that.

Antoninus thinks that social issues are most important to America's welfare. Because Shut Up, is why!

Fiscal issues don't mean squat because too many people have become immoral. If we fix that, fiscal issues will fix themselves.

longtermmemmory has a mantra:

Whenever I see, hear, or read about “no social issues” it is just code for pro-homosexual, pro-abortion, anti-second amendment rights RINOs.

Conservative is conservative, liberal is just communist.

wagglebee argues government banning abortion is small government:

anyone who doesn't favor the unrestricted murder of the unborn,, disabled and elderly is a "statist" or whatever they want to call it.

The TRUTH is that they are statists because they advocate collecting taxes for Social Security Medicare from a person and then killing the person before they can collect what they've actually paid for.

Reagan Man has a version of the founding documents I've not heard of:

The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are pro life and pro liberty documents.

The Tea Party is making a huge mistake if they try to purge social issues from their agenda.

Jim Robinson, head Freeper, only speaks in bumper stickers these days:

We’re not going to lose, ah. We’re going to fight the godless evil bastards and we’re going to take them down. Guess I’m going to have to repeat this ad infinitum before it sinks in to the hard-headed.

I’ve attended hundreds of tea party rallies and protests in nearly every state of the union including a half-dozen in Sacramento. Traditional pro-life and family values are always well received at every tea party event I’ve ever attended. Don’t believe the weak-kneed RINO sisters or totalitarian control freaks who claim otherwise. They’ve either never attended a tea party or they’re outright lying.

Who the hell do you think attends these rallies? Godless liberals? RINOS? Hell no. The attendees are mostly pro-life, pro-family, pro-marriage, pro-gun, pro-borders, pro-constitution, patriotic pro-America traditional conservative Christians and they’re fed up and mad as hell! They don’t call us the Christian right for nothing!!

I’m pro-God, pro-Life, pro-family, pro-Liberty and pro-America. So is FR. So is the Tea Party or I wouldn’t be part of it!

Don’t piss down my leg and tell me it’s raining.

And DON’T TREAD ON ME!!

I’m bitterly clinging to my God and guns!!

Rebellion is brewing!!

Those who refuse to fight the good fight are worthless to our cause and should just move on to some RINO Republican site. FR is for God-fearing Life and Liberty conservatives!!

Which is what will sink the TEA party in the end. They will be overwhelmed by those who seek to co-opt the movement.
