Where is the report that shows that unions contribute the most to the democrat party? If this is supposed to be bad news, it's really not. At one point in the time in RP's presidential bid their were some less then savory donors and my thought is any money to promote our cause is money well spent. Also I'm a smoker so I could really care less.

Their insinuations are hilarious. What kind of idiot wants to be taxed, regulated and penalized to death????????? I ask the luminaries at Huffington, what kind of person wants to be a de facto pin cushion for the rest of their lives? I'd say that is a pretty organic response to state sponsored oppression.

Notice that the studies proving this are, of course, government funded.

Unfortunately, freedom means associating with those who you may not like or disagree with.

Wow, huge shock that the companies hit hardest by the government taxing them would be against it, while those who benefit from the current system are for it :rolleyes:

They will continue to try to paint it like we're just lackeys for big interests, but we all know that the vast majority of big interests benefit far more with the monopolies they've created by abusing our the current system.

They're going to want to define the narrative/voice of future tea party within main stream networks and topics of discussion. Terms of controversy, to be clear. It's Rand or Marco. So...yeah. Careful here. It's a bobber is all this article really is. Will be more. Rand is the voice of the tea party here. The idea that the Koch boys scribbled it up paints the narrative that the other brand should be the brood to step up and manufacture a main stream defense for the screed in front of the public. Problem...Reaction...Solution. You know? Lookit me type...shit.

Kochs donated to the great liberty fighter 'Trey Grayson' in his primary against Rand, fwiw.

I actually went so far as to block that domain via my DNS server. I changed at one point, and lost the block, but they have really cracked down on allowing conservative opinions there in the past 6 months, so I added it back.

rpftorchbearer, The tea party was first created by supporters of Presidential Candidate Ron Paul on December 16, 2007. A large online fundraiser was held, and people gathered across the nation to protest government abuses.

So, are they implying that it took millions of dollars worth of manipulation to trick people into disliking taxes?

We needed our corporate overlords to remind us how much we hate incalculable debt, seemingly endless taxes and rapacious social engineering. That's what the article basically says. There is no organic basis for this displeasure. ;):D Progs really live in a dream world. I'm almost envious. Almost...

It doesnt matter who started the fire of liberty in the minds of people as long as there are people willing to fuel the fire.
