Well, to be fair, the whole thing was spear-headed by
Glenn Beck. Glenn doesn't necessarily speak to the whole of the Republican audience, just the more racist, xenophobic, distrustful element.
No, it was the single day presidential fundraiser "money bomb" for Ron Paul on Dec 17th, the anniversary of the Boston Tea party that set it off.
then, like everything else Ron Paul, after laughing and belittling him, the republicans saw it was catching fire in their party, so instead they co-opted him, and his talk, and said they were the real deal.
Now assholes like Glenn Beck are running around calling themselves Libertarians because they shit so badly on their Republican plate that they are going to try and steal the Libertarian lunch. And with the help of the media, who loves whatever philosophy that steals money and gives it to the banks that own everything, they will get what they want.
They will also, in due time, get what is coming to them.
Who was the only presidential candidate to oppose the Iraq war in 1992?
Who was the only candidate to oppose NAFTA in 1992?
You enjoying your little left-right illusion? Hows that NAFTA working out for you now?
Not about Obama and his "differentness"?? Then where were the Teabaggers while GWB was running up the deficits.
In the Ron Paul campaign. The original tea party protests were dominated by Ron Paulies. It wasn't until Glenn Beck and his Sept. 12th campaign that they became dominated by idiots using the constitution to justify murder, empire and stupidity.
PFft, if you consider successful to mean ignorant and too fat to walk on your own accord.
