Are the Tea Party people for free trade and outsourcing as we know it?
I could join them but I need to know how they feel on these issue’s first.
Do you know who Dick Armey is? The former congressman who advocated the abolishing of the minimum wage? He is the behind the scenes guy for the tea party movement, they could careless about the working class.
Armey’s FreedomWorks is actively organizing against health care reform. Indeed, Armey’s lobbying firm represents pharmaceutical companies, such as Bristol-Myers Squibb, that oppose comparative effectiveness research in the health reform plan because such a program may cut into revenue for branded drugs.
– Armey’s lobbying firm represents the trade group for the life insurance industry. Indeed, FreedomWorks mobilizes its members for deregulated life insurance reform.
– Currently, FreedomWorks is focusing their energy activism on supporting the status quo reliance on fossil fuels. In addition to working for various domestic oil companies with a vested interest in opposing change, Armey’s lobbying firm represents Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the UAE, on energy related issues such as maintaining the U.S.-UAE relationship where “U.S companies have played major roles in the development of UAE energy resources, which represent about 10 percent of global oil reserves.”
– In 2006, Armey’s lobbying firm represented the Senado de Republica (Mexican Senate) on “enhancing U.S.-Mexico relations,” and specifically on immigration policy. Curiously, during the same period, Armey’s Freedom Works stood out as one of the few right wing organizations to boldly support comprehensive immigration reform.
Last year, the Wall Street Journal exposed FreedomWorks for building “amateur-looking” websites to promote the lobbying interests of Armey.
FreedomWorks represents a top-down, corporate-friendly approach that has been the norm for conservative organizations for years. As Obama prepares to push to close corporate tax loopholes, reform health care, and transition to a clean energy economy, we can expect more corporate lobbyists to create astroturf protests to oppose change.
They don’t even know. They are just out there to try and make people think Obama is a bad President.

Tea Party = anti-Obama
They never came until Obama became president. They call themselves "real Americans." Well apparently real americans are hypocrites. Don’t you find that kind of pathetic and sad? America is going to become like Haiti if we don’t stop these right wing freakjobs from trying to give all of our wealth to the top 1%.

they are for whatever FoX news tells them.
A lot of these single cell minds are just vehemently against their own economic self interest.
Weird…most of these people seem like blue collar types to me…..probably a lot of them even belong to unions. go figure !!!

Ask Bill Clinton. He signed NAFTA.
And so far, Obama hasn’t done jack to "Stop shipping our jobs overseas." GM and Chrysler are still manufacturing just as many parts in Canada and Mexico as they were before the election.
So instead of worrying about people who you are not going to vote for, worry about the people who you did.
