Your disappointed because you have the teapartys agenda all wrong...they are not about deficit reduction thats a talking point...they are not about smaller govt thats an end to reach their means....they are all about tax reduction for the rich and their donors corporations....
The teaparty is full of chit....and thats why I am totally against them
You won't vote for men?
This makes me wonder what the "conservative platform" really is. I've spent eight minutes writing and re-writing this post, and I honestly can't find one position universally espoused by conservatives. So what is it you want a conservative president to do?
I would like to see all of them combined into a President and his cabinet with maybe the addition of Palin as Secretary of Department of Energy.
As much as it shocks me, I actually agree with Tigger on these points. The Tea Party has thus far been long on rhetoric and short on action.The problem is that the Tea Partiers are either unwilling or unable to actually bring those concepts about in their own ACTIONS. Where is the LEGISLATION to defund the Dept. of Education? Where is the LEGISLATION to do away with MANY of the current Federal Gun Laws? Where is the WALK for all the TALK?
People pray during catastrophes such as droughts and floods all the time and across the country. Rick Perry wasn't praying any differently than other folks who pray, at least not in my experience.

Do you have an example where they have taken on these positions at all? Seems to me that the majority fall into one of two catagories. They either complain that they do not take up their pet causes or they get blamed for anything anyone doesn't like.

Their beef is with the debt. What that has to do with guns, I have no clue. I don't imagine they would have a big problem with the DoEd if they would be funded to fit into a balanced budget.
So in your mind for them to be good leaders they have to just run congress for their PET cause and screw the rest of what the country wants....it does NOT work that way perry....and it shouldnt
Theres many issues in this country and its not just cutting taxs for the rich and corporations.
We can agree that they fought hard against raising the debt ceiling, though. Correct?As much as it shocks me, I actually agree with Tigger on these points. The Tea Party has thus far been long on rhetoric and short on action.

Quick question, are any of the republican candidates conservative enough to suit you?
Right now i am seeing accusations of liberalism slung at all of them.
How are we defining conservatism? The classical type built upon small government and no state building or the new type which is big government, big spending, big deficit, big war and big brother?
NO. None of them are anywhere near Conservative enough to get MY vote, or the votes of the Conservatives that I know. They're not even close for the most part. Hell, at least one or two of them aren't even of the proper GENDER. One was the Governor of a LIBERAL state and moved that state further LEFT during his administration. None of them are capable of WALKING the TALK.
Huh? Who would pay more taxes than legally required? That's idiotic! :roll:
Carry on.
Haters. That's from a mind that isn't bright enough to grasp what conservatism is. How much additional in taxes do you pay Pinko over and above the amount you are required? I thought so. ZERO. So now who is the hater?

I wouldn't say they're liberal, but they aren't conservative, either. Not what conservative used to mean, anyway.
