Expose on the Tea Party Architects
This is a just published article about the Koch Brothers.
If anyone wants to know why theses two guys started the Tea Party check it out. It's an eye opening look into the power of corporate influence in American politics. The billionaire Koch brothers’ war against Obama : The New Yorker |

Re: Expose on the Tea Party Architects
Interesting read for sure, thanks for sharing. Corporate influence is everywhere, hell you can find it in high school sports these days! The high school where I coach has a deal with Nike and Nibco.
I have no problems with the Tea Party, the majority of the people are just tired of their government not listening to them anymore and doing as it pleases at the expense of all of us. It is not an Obama thing, it is a government thing in general. Sure there are a few nuts here and there, but that is anywhere. I still do not think the liberal establishment does not know what to do with the likes of the Tea Parties of the world. When you do not understand something it is easy to discredit and try to pull apart.

Re: Expose on the Tea Party Architects
I made for about two pages until they linked back to the 60's, blacks, and the communist party all rolled up in one.

Re: Expose on the Tea Party Architects
Sorry, the Tea Parties started in 2007 with the Ron Paul folks and it gained strength during 2008. The neocons through Sarah Palin hijacked it though after Obama was elected. The Koch brothers are big neocons and supporters of the GOP. They might be behind the hijacking of the Tea Parties, but they didn't start them. This piece is propaganda meant to discredit them.

They are by far the largest sponsor of "tea party" organizational funding nationwide. The "Tea Party" as America knows it today was entirely shaped by the funding of the Koch Empire. They might have hijacked the name, but their financial support/influence made the current movement viable. |

Re: Expose on the Tea Party Architects
Who cares about their inception when we all know they are a doomed group once the Republicans suck the life out of these poor saps and are done using them.

Re: Expose on the Tea Party Architects
I'm so glad the Tea Party is alive and well. I say leave 'em alone, they are giving some Dems a fighting chance this Novemeber.
Speaking of the Tea Party, anyone see that Major Garrett is leaving Fox News. Bit of a blow if you ask me. |
