SILENCE IS CONSENT! TEAPARTY or not the TEAPARTY...that is the question!

Headline:  (Hat tip to Mark Levin, who is talking about this now)

Exclusive: Politico Misreports Tea Party Support for Immigration Bill

"Tea Party Express’s Mark Standriff said in an email that his group has not and will not take a side on immigration reform. “Tea Party Express focuses solely on fiscal issues - spending and taxes. Immigration, like other social issues*, fall outside our focus and thus we do not have a position on them,” Standriff said. “For that reason, we will not be playing any role in the Gang of Eight immigration bill or any future legislation on this topic.  and ...
“We have heard from the hundreds of thousands of activists and supporters affiliated with TheTeaParty.net,” Innis said. “Overwhelmingly and resoundingly, they oppose this bill.” 

Sorry TeaParty Express!! Sorry TeaParty.net.........SILENCE IS CONSENT!

You have allowed your organizations, whether by design or accident , run by professional political operators and lobbyists, to be a 'silent' partner of the Gang of 8 AMNESTY and Grover Norquist!  Many of you have SHORT memories...it was hijacked 'tea party groups' at CPAC this year who didn't want Robert Spencer to show up to accept his award over fear of criticism of Norquist/Khan  and their radical Islamic ties.  You better find out WHICH tea party groups are wound up with the COMPROMISED CPAC/ACU who push AMNESTY!

If you respect the grass roots efforts of ordinary citizens of TheTeaParty movement, as we do,  be sure you know WHICH group you are supporting!
 About Teaparty.net...go ahead look at their facebook page....NOTHING about this monster amnesty before this story came up recently! I know, because I and many others have been asking for months why they don't oppose this Rubio/gang of 8 proposal.
All we could ever get from either is 'we don't take any position' and insults.  We got years of fundraising news about every subject in emails from TeaParty.net but NEVER a word about Immigration reform!


SILENCE IS CONSENT!


But HOW 'neutral' have they really been? Let's look at the past....

[snip]Echoing a diverse chorus of Republican voices, Kremer (Speaking for TEA PARTY EXPRESS) cited changing demographics and the need to address immigration reform, though the fiscally focused Tea Party Express doesn’t take a position on immigration policy, Kremer said. She also said that the party needed to be more aggressive in promoting its message.  [So, they did this instead:   Headline: 

Tea Party Express Considering Latino-Focused Bus Tour

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/02/19/Tea-Party-Express-Contemplating-Bus-Tour-Focused-on-Latino-Community

 

Sal Russo, co-founder of Tea Party Express, the political action committee that sponsored Rand Paul's response to President Obama's State of the Union address, said that his group was considering a nationwide bus tour specifically focused on the Latino community. 

[snip] " I think his goal is to appeal to a broader audience,” said Sal Russo, a chief adviser to the Tea Party Express and a longtime Republican strategist. “Immigration is not a defining tea-party issue like spending and debt, and there is a wide spectrum of viewpoints on it. I think it’s a political winner.”

AND

[snip]  The Tea Party [true at the grass roots level!] has largely opposed legalizing undocumented aliens or granting them citizenship, but Russo [Tea party Express]  applauds Paul's immigration proposal.
"I think the immigration issue is an important issue and Republicans have looked like they have their head in the sand and are not being serious about addressing a problem," Russo said.
"People are in this country a long time and they are not legal. We have to get them legal in some way in a process that gets people legal that are here…We should do it because it's the right thing. We need to reform immigration because we need a system that works," Russo said.
Matt Kibbe, the president and CEO of Tea Party ally FreedomWorks, said he does not think Paul's immigration announcement hurt his potential 2016 presidential aspirations.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/tea-partiers-stand-rand-paul-immigration-conversion/story?id=18775333

[snip]  Philosophically, it’s not surprising that libertarian, free-market oriented organizations such as the Club for Growth and FreedomWorks confirmed to me late Monday that they have no position on the immigration policies currently being debated in the House and Senate, nor do they intend to be active either supporting or opposing the legislation that is expected to emerge. But given how much influence these groups have had over congressional Republicans in recent months, their inaction could prove significant.http://blogs.rollcall.com/goppers/club-for-growth-and-freedomworks-to-sit-out-immigration-fight/  [Yes, THAT Freedom Works who claims to be 'tea party' promoter! and that 'Conservative  (LOL!) Club for Growth!  YOUR institutions are compromised!]

*SOCIAL ISSUES....National SOVEREIGNTY, HOMELAND SECURITY  AND THE TRILLIONS spent on amnesty IS A SOCIAL ISSUE????  EXCUSE ME???  I suppose when you same 'social engineering' types marched my ancestors across the South Eastern states in the snow it was considered a 'social issue' !
 Is that you, Grover??

UPDATE:   5/9/13  FRom Tea Party Patriots,
 Dear Patriot,

Supporters of the nearly 1,000-page immigration bill now claim that “the Tea Party” supports their bill and are rushing to ram it through the Senate.

Let me be clear. Tea Party Patriots does not support this massive proposal. And we need your help to stop it!  That's why we must stop this bill. It is nothing more than another big-government boondoggle designed to empower bureaucrats and politicians at the expense of the American people!

Obamanation vs. the People

I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes,”
President Obama, September 12, 2008

From Gop.gov
Beginning January 1, 2013, ObamaCare imposes a 3.8% Medicare tax on unearned income, including the sale of single family homes, townhouses, co-ops, condominiums, and even rental income.

In February 2010, 5.02 million homes were sold, according to the National Association of Realtors. On any given day, the sale of a house, townhome, condominium, co-op, or income from a rental property can push middle-income families over the $250,000 threshold and slam them with a new tax they can’t afford.

This new ObamaCare tax is the first time the government will apply a 3.8 percent tax on unearned income. This new tax on home sales and unearned income and other Medicare taxes raise taxes more than $210 billion to pay for ObamaCare. The National Association of Realtors called this new Medicare tax on unearned income “destructive” and “ill-advised” and warned it would hurt job creation.

(CA Attorney General) Race Pits Dream Prosecutor Against S.F.'s Nightmare DA
Rasmussen Reports ^ | September 26, 2010 | Debra J. Saunders
I don't understand why San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris wants to be California's next attorney general.

She hasn't been an aggressive prosecutor. She hasn't been a competent administrator. She seems more interested in advancing liberal causes than putting bad guys behind bars.

It is a sad testament to the Democratic Party that Harris is its chosen nominee to run against Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, a consummate lawman whose tenure could serve as a model for both toughness and fairness.

Consider her record. To start, Harris was in charge when her office aided and abetted in a dangerous misinterpretation of the city's 1989 sanctuary city law. City officials refused to notify federal immigration officials when police arrested juvenile offenders -- or offenders who claimed to be juveniles -- on felony charges.

Under her watch (for lack of a better word), the city flew drug offenders to Honduras. When federal authorities stopped this practice in 2008, the city sent eight Hondurans who had been convicted to group homes, from which they escaped.

One Sunday afternoon in June 2008, San Franciscan Tony Bologna, 48, was driving home with his sons, Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16. All three were shot dead. Police charged Edwin Ramos, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who had been arrested for several felonies as a youth but apparently benefited from the city's liberal sanctuary policy.[snip]

Sue Krentz was airlifted to University Medical Center in Tucson, police said. Her condition is unknown at this time.

Krentz's friend's name and condition were not immediately available.

The driver of the vehicle did not stop, police said. Ramon Saucedo was located a short time later and arrested on DUI, Endangerment, and Aggravated Assault charges.

Beware: Rinos in Conservative clothing...DICK ARMEY

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""
-- President Ronald Reagan

Time to listen up, Tea Party people!!! We've warned you before that political opportunists will hi- jack your movement for their causes! And Dick Armey did just that!

"In a telephone interview with The Arizona Republic, former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, FreedomWorks' chairman, delivered a surprisingly harsh assessment of Hayworth, with whom he served on Capitol Hill:

" It's hard for us to believe that J.D. Hayworth could mount a credible challenge to John McCain. Obviously, we'll watch the race. But J.D. had a fairly short, undistinguished congressional career with virtually no initiative on his part. I just don't see any reason why we should be concerned about that race."

So...what is this really all about??

AMNESTY, that's what.

Armey is one of the squatter support squad of the GOP. He wants to do away with enforcement. He wants amnesty. That's why he won't support Hayworth.
In fact, Armey wants to increase immigration!

The McCain camp likes to throw the non issue Abramoff accusation at J.D. of which he was totally cleared, but one of Armey's top advisers, Horace Cooper, actually got indicted for taking Abramoff bribes. OH! The irony!

We're still waiting for Sarah Palin to stop hedging on this issue and tell us what she really thinks. Yes, we keep waiting for her to deny all the statements where she approves of McCain's amnesty! Here, she even approves of the bailouts!

"This is crisis moment for America. ....Looking to see what the impacts will be if America were to choose not to shore up what has happened on Wall Street because of the…the ultimate adverse effects on Main Street and then how that effects this globalisation that we’re a part of on… in our world. So the rest of the world really is looking at John McCain – the leadership that he’s gonna provide through this and if those provisions in the proposal can be implemented and make this proposal better make it make more sense to taxpayers than again, John McCain is gonna prove his leadership."

TRACKBACK:

I got one of Dick Armey's mass emails today about the march in DC which his group helped to promote. He says, "WE DID IT".
My reply:

WE???? MR.ARMEY!
95% of those people oppose your soft stand on illegal immigration and AMNESTY!
You should be ashamed of hijacking this movement, you were one of millions promoting this rally.
You're fooling them, just like Obama fooled his voters....they don't know you that well.
And you should have listened to Milton Friedman, when he looked you in the eye and told you that NAFTA was NOT Free Trade, it is 'managed trade'. QUOTE!.... "managed'' just like Obama wants the government to 'manage' everything!

Go J.D. Go!

http://www.jdforsenate.com/

Can you hear us now, CBS????

The CBS Early show host, Maggie Rodriguez , simply could not discuss the march by Americans in DC without playing the race card. Straight out of the ‘Katie Couric school of gotcha journalism', she insisted the proof the marchers are racisits, was the posters of Obama in ‘white face’....white face????
It’s the joker, silly woman! No problem, though, when the same was done to Bush!
It's NOT about race and 'identity' Maggie*, except for prejudiced pundits like you! And CBS will be next on the "Can you hear us now" campaign!

How soon we forget????

*She served as a reporter for the Univision Network (1991-1994) in Miami. Rodriguez' career in journalism began at WLTV Miami (1989-90), a Univision-owned station, where she was an associate producer, field producer and assignment editor.....She also is the recipient of the Hispanic Heritage Council’s prestigious "Young Hispanic Leadership Award" for professional accomplishments and community service.

Maggie, for your service to disinformation, divide and conquer politics and racebaiting
you get this award!

MSNBC / White House CONCEDES Wilson was RIGHT on Illegal Aliens and Health Care Reform
MSNBC ^ | September 11, 2009 | MSNBC

THE WHITE HOUSE NOW ADMITS (BEGRUDGINGLY) JOE WILSON WAS RIGHT.

WHITE HOUSE ON HEALTH CARE, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

From NBC's Mike Viqueira The White House tonight is providing the below clarification on what the president's health-care proposals would mean when it comes to the issue of illegal immigrants.

The question, as we all know, arises from the Wilson "You lie" outburst, and the core claim that notwithstanding specific bill language barring illegal immigrants from participating in the "exchange," as a practical matter, there is no way of verifying the citizenship of applicants -- which is the current state of play. Republicans say that then means illegal immigrants would end up being enrolled in plans -- bill language or no bill language.

Today, for the first time as far as we know, the administration is backing a provision that would require proof of citizenship before someone could enroll in a plan selected on the exchange.

History being made in D.C. today..will the media tell you??

Update: TURNOUT ESTIMATED (by ABC News) AT 2 MILLION

There is STILL some good left in this Country, and it's worth fighting for!
These people are there today for YOU and ME, no matter what political party, race or religion!
One of the many black Americans attending and speaking to the crowd,
Mason Weaver declared Obama's policies as "rope & chains" not "hope & change" and “I thought you’d like to see a black man speak without a teleprompter”


Just one of thousands of Doctors, Nurses, the people who PROVIDE us with health care who traveled to D.C. to protest Obamacare !

Don't listen to the media when they tell you there were 'tens of thousands' marching...there were well over a million! When this photo was shot, streets were closed to attendees who had chartered buses for long trips and aren't shown. Too bad they didn't cover this event as well as they did when illegal aliens marched in our streets!

The Race card is the only thing the proponents of the Obama Administration have left to play, they've lied, they've defied the Constitution and lost by the numbers! Sen. Jim DeMint spoke to the crowd, "Mr. President......you called us out..... we are OUT! Welcome to Waterloo!”

Janeane Garofalo , have I got a date for you!!

Headline: Garofalo: Tea Partiers Are Racists

"Janeane Garofalo says this is all about hatred for a black president. My question is what has she done for black people? Has she donated to the United Negro College Fund, hired a black maid over an illegal? Aside from talk, what the hell has she done?" (Bob Parks, from his column "Black & Right)

Janeane, meet Michael Niehaus, a formerly unknown local useful idiot, who showed up to be interviewed at the Medford, Oregon 'TEA Party' on April 15th.

"But others didn't keep their cool when the opposition was in sight.
Michael Niehaus says [he] is the opposition. He says, "It seems like the Republican Party is just [beating] their fists. They're just so mad about a president of color and it's tough for the blue-eyes to handle that. They're just mad."

First, Mr. Niehaus, the TEA Parties had nothing to do with the GOP. There are too many dupes, like you, who call them selves republicans and most of us have as much problem with them as we do Obama. Corruption and mismanagement doesn't care about color.

Secondly, Ms. Garofalo, your argument is hallow because WHITES elected Barak Obama!

"Of Obama's voters, more than 60 percent were white and 20 percent were Black, according to Edison/Mitofsky exit-poll information. Latinos made up 11 percent of votes for Obama."

From Berkley.....Obama's race not a factor in election, say economists

Despite pre-election handwringing by reporters, pundits and others about whether white voters could or would cast their ballots to make an African American candidate the country's commander-in-chief, "the average guy in the street didn't really agree with that," said Moretti. "The winning performance of Obama wasn't associated with racial attitude in America."

A native of Italy, Moretti said he is curious about American media and politics and the historic 2008 presidential race, in particular. "What I found remarkable throughout the campaign was that although the media were very focused on trying to find a racial angle, the campaigns themselves and the American people weren't very focused on the racial aspect," he said.

If we are to believe your infamous rants about 'white hate' for blacks, what shall we base it on besides your imagination? How about Dept. of Justice statistics?

FACTS!!! They sure do get it the way!
Take a look at the line for white on black crime at the bottom of the following chart.
Also, note the other charts at the link........during republican administrations, black crime
went down and went up under democrats!

White on black crime is nearly zero, but nearly 20% for black on white!
Now, Janene & Michael , who are the racists? I don't know if you are a racist....you're just stupid...dangerously stupid!

http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/race.htmStranger

In 2005, offending rates for blacks were more than 7 times higher than the rates for whites

Homicides are more likely to cross racial lines than those that involve friends or acquaintances

For homicides committed by --

• a friend or acquaintance of the victim, less than one-tenth (8%) were interracial
• a stranger to the victim, one-quarter were interracial

To view data, click on the chart.

[D]

Michael, what shall we do with those 'BLUE EYES'? Off to your gulag, perhaps? Will you take me and all my relations? How about my brown eyed grandchildren and mother? How about my blue eyed Irish greatgrandfather who fought for the Union? And his cousin who died fighting beside him? Perhaps you'll lock up my Cherokee great grandfather who owned slaves?? Will he be forgiven because he had BROWN eyes?

You and Janeane can have your first date trying to sort us out. It's difficult, because what you have not learned is that Americans come in ALL colors. And so do dishonest bigots like you.

Are there white racists? YES!! Guess what Garofalo, We ARE human, TOO! The good, the bad and the ugly....you're proof of two of those three!

'Supremacists' exist, in ALL RACES, and they were soundly denounced when they showed up at the TEA Parties. How about you two? When will you denounce racism instead of using it as a political club to silence Americans of ALL races?

"During the speeches, the crowd booed when it was announced that white supremacists were passing out literature at the rally." Medford, Oregon April 15
