Anybody else think these tea parties are retarded?
I mean it was started by displaced Ron Paul supporters and libertarians, and suddenly caught some fire on our side of things.
Hey Teabaggers (yes, this is exactly why this is so stupid), why don't you show up to some phone banks, knock on some doors, and make sure you vote for REALISTIC possibilites of changing the system.
The tea parties are at least something proactive. I agree that we need more knocking on doors, phone bank workers, etc. but this event can send a message and get people energized.
Also agreed for the average working person a weekday/mid-day event is not feasible. But, it can be a lunchtime activity for some and it is a vacation week for many school systems so moms and kids can attend.
In fact, my son, a high school junior, was told about - and asked to attend - the Belmar tea party by a classmate.
I have no problem with tea parties. People are frustrated and this is a way to visualize that frustration. Hopefully it will carry over to a greater involvement in the upcoming campaigns. Sadly, it is exactly because people were not involved in the last campaign, at least involved enough to know that behind the oratory skills and catch phrase was an anti-American socialist who cannot make a speech without somehow putting this great nation down, that we have a need for tea parties. Hopefully, more good will come from these events down the road.
Tommy feels that Madison and Hamilton (and Jay) didn't write the Federalist Papers anonymously.
They wrote it pseudonymously.
They used the name Publius (can't believe no Monmouth Blogger has grabbed that one).
Friends of the 3 also wrote as "Philo Publius" which translates to Friends of Publius.
I have respect for those who post anonymously. I truly do.
I'd just like to see everyone pick a pseudonym.
Look at this thread. 3 posts by "Anonymous" and I don't know if I'm talking to one guy or 3.
I have no idea of the real identity of "stopthesocialists" but at least when he or she posts I know I'm talking to the same person. I can reflect back on other posts he/she made.
When you have a bunch of folks going by "anonymous" you can't really have a discussion.
Plenty of fun names out there. Everyone should grab one.
I actually thought it was fun when folks were all showing up as founding fathers.
"There is no other website out there with more influence in Central NJ. " ~ Adam Geller, CEO, National Research
" I read your blog all the time." ~ Chris Christie (April 6, 2009 while a candidate for Governor)
"More Monmouth Musings is a must-read. Art Gallagher skillfully covers local, state and national affairs and his blog is a definite stop on the daily news round up. A respected conservative, Art knows when to question conventional wisdom and his guest commentators provide an array of opinions on everything from the State House to the school board." ~ Senator Joe Kyrillos
" dung droppings" ~ commenter on Frank Pallone's facebook page.
"Can't speak for bigoted ignoramuses though so I'll leave that to you and yours." ~ Kathy Baratta
"Retarded" ~ Adam Puharic, former Monmouth County GOP Chairman
"More Monmouth Musings is a romping and rambunctious meeting place for the politically-engaged, and Art Gallagher is the incomparable ringmaster of this unique domain. " ~Scott Sipprelle,future Congressman
"Oh my goodness!" ~ Mayor Anna Little, future Congresswoman
"The most influential conservative in Central Jersey and Dean of the N.J. Conservative Blogging Caucus. First site I check every day... after my own!" ~ Matt Rooney, SaveJersey.com
"MMM is a great source of insider gossip and news in the conservative wing of the Republican Party and the Tea Party. I don’t agree with everything I read, but I keep taking a look- it is definitely entertaining. However, MMM would be better and could have far greater credibility if Art Gallagher didn’t display his biases quite so obviously and ran an unbiased forum for discussion.

while these lunatics have their tea party from 12 to 3, the rest of us working class Americans will be working!

The Tea Party idea was started by Rick Santelli.
But if you are posting anonymously, I guess it's OK to get your facts wrong.

I have to ask. Did someone finally tea bag Tom Deseno?
