  Small Business owner gets two votes
  
  I would get 8 votes .... this is a good thing

  Im sure this is half sarcasm, if not. What a hypocrite. You cannot claim to be for freedom and liberty and want to deny American citizens the right to vote.

  And you claim to be a liberty loving patriot conservative? You cannot keep yapping on about freedom, then want to deny others the same freedoms.

  Man, you've been here since '09 and are just figuring out that this site's primary liberty loving patriot conservatives only care about liberty and freedom for people who think exactly like they do?
  
  That's what happens when your party winds up as losers on the big stage. Instead of trying to figure out and work on the disconnect between it and its goals and the American people, just throw a fit, whine and look for ways to exclude people with differing views.
  
  Losers are losers.

  No one is denying anyone their freedoms. With rights come responsibilities. Unfortunately, many want the rights without assuming the responsibilities. There is nothing preventing morons and freeloaders from becoming smarter and productive.
  
  Good luck.

  You are the main reason people associate the term conservative with ignorant and hypocrite while Libertarian Conservatives like myself have to defend ourselves from people who lump us together with crazy tea baggers.
  
  Believe me if intelligence and productivity were a requirement, the tea party would be cut in half.

  This. If you're a citizen above the age of 18 who is registered to vote you should be allowed to vote. That's it.

  Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I know those tea party folks are nuts; they stand for individual liberty and fiscal sanity; how crazy is that.

  That would be nice if it were true as I believe those things but keep on listening to Mark Levin for your next opinion.

  Yeah, the Tea Party has it's crazies just like the right and left, but I wouldn't characterize it as the party of crazy or anything more radical than liberty and fiscal responsibility....what I DO know is both the Dems and Repubs, with a lot of help from their buddies in the media, have attacked it pretty mercilessly and unfairly because they view it as a threat to their own power.
  
  Funny that you describe them as "crazy tea baggers", which is a term you really only hear from the likes of Bill Maher and Jon Stewart.

  What is funny? You caught me, Im really Isadore and Boatshoes rolled into one giant liberal.
  
  The tea party started off with great intentions. I just feel it has spent more time bitching about Obama than doing anything else to further the agenda. That is my gripe. They spend time whining about gays, birth control, Obamas birth certificate instead of offering idea
  
  While I say they are crazy, it pales in comparison to being as crazy as a progressive liberal.

  I don't deny it's been somewhat hijacked/infiltrated by some whackos, but I don't feel the whackos are really running the movement - but that is a narrative pushed at every opportunity by liberals, Rhinos, and the media.
  
  Ted Cruz is a poser. To me, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio are the real leaders of the Tea Party, and I don't remotely consider either to be a whacko nutjob. Or Sarah Palin, for that matter - I don't think she's particularly bright but I do think she is genuine.

  You're right on Rand Paul but you're wrong on Ted Cruz. You may think he's a poser (which he is...He is the Republican Party's version of Obama) but the Tea Party loves him. Also, Marco Rubio has largely been excommunicated for his stance on immigration.
  
  Here are the results of a recent Tea Party Presidential Poll.
  

  1. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz-84 percent.2. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul-80 percent.
  3. Dr. Ben Carson-77 percent.
  4. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker-70 percent.
  5. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin-64 percent.
  6. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee-59 percent.
  7. Texas Gov. Rick Perry-59 percent.
  8. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal-56 percent.
  9. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley-55 percent.
  10. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio-52 percent.
  11. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice-48 percent.
  12. Former Sen. Rick Santorum-46 percent.
  13. Rep. Paul Ryan-45 percent.
  14. Ohio Gov. John Kasich-42 percent.
  15. Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin-41 percent.
  16. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence-41 percent.
  17. New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez-41 percent.
  18. Rep. Steve King-37 percent.
  19. New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte-30 percent.
  20. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.-29 percent.
  21. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush-29 percent.
  22. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie-15 percent.

  The whackos are running the movement. And anytime somebody sensible like Thomas Sowell comes out says something like "Ted Cruz is only out for himself" they risk being labeled a RINO or worse an "Establishment Republican" lol. They cost the GOP control of the Senate and the only Tea Partier candidates they managed to get in there, Mike Lee and Ted Cruz are making the GOP look like a giant pile of derp to most Americans who are not Orthodox Conservatives.

  There are a lot of good names on that list, certainly not crazy. Not as radical as the jabbers THAT DO RUN the Democratic Party - Reid, Pelosi, Feinstein, Wasserman-Schultz, Valerie Jarrett....at least Barney Frank retired.
