D.A.: Walker's Stealthy Vote Broke Wisconsin's Open Meetings Law

I've been talking with a couple of long-time Republican friends tonight, and they're just blown away by the Tea Partite antics. Odds are they'll be voting Libertarian the next time, and maybe after.

One quoted Warren Buffet as saying that Congress could take away three quarters of the net worth of the richest five hundred families, and they wouldn't even notice. He said if one of the richest men in the country says the rich wouldn't miss it, then take it and balance the budget!
 
I'd like to hear from some of the Conservative/right wing forum contributors on this topic. What are your thoughts on the behavior displayed here?
 
So quiet they're giving Church mice a run for the money.

But I am still hopeful one of you guys can answer my question:
What are your thoughts on the behavior displayed here?

I really want to know what you guys, who lean to the conservative or right wing platforms, think of this.
 
Is there any recall effort directed at any of the Republican HOUSE members as well? Don't forget they railroaded their side of the vote through, during a voting period of only a few seconds only arranged and known by them (and not Democrats) beforehand, in the middle of the night - very irregular and bogus procedures, to say the least.

The request for some input from JUB Conservatives was put out now more than NINE hours ago, and it's still the sound of crickets. Very interesting.
 
I guess everyone must still be away on March break.

Except for the conservatives who've been tiptoeing in an out of other threads overnight but have managed to have no comment on this turn of events.

I'm not conservative nor right wing, but not everyone who labels themselves as such support everything that others with a similar mindset do. For example, I'm a Democrat, but do not support the Obama Administration as a whole. Just because someone is a Republican does not mean they have to agree with or support everything their political party does. Vice versa for Democrats.

I would guess that a large number of Republicans do not agree with or support the majority of actions taken by the Tea Party fringe.

Your guess would be incorrect.

A poll is only a "snap-shot" in time, and since that poll you list is almost a year old...it is safe to say that people's opinions of the Tea Party movement may have changed since then.

For example, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was elected with 52% of the vote in November 2010, yet had a disapproval number in the 60% range just weeks ago.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez was re-elected in 2008, yet ousted in a recall election where 88% of those who voted supported the recall.
 
What is clear and always has been is that the Liberals and the democrats have wanted to have nothing to do with the teabaggers.

There are NO tea party elected officials who are democrats. The tea party members who have been elected to office by and large are all within the republican party.

The Tea Party movement has caucuses in the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States.[15] The Tea Party movement has no central leadership but is composed of a loose affiliation of national and local groups that determine their own platforms and agendas. The Tea Party movement has been cited as an example of grassroots political activity, although it has also been cited as an example of astroturfing.[16]
The Tea Party's most noted national figures include Republican politicians such as Sarah Palin and Dick Armey. As of 2010, the Tea Party movement is not a national political party, but has endorsed Republican candidates.[17] A Gallup poll shows almost 80% of Tea Partiers consider themselves to be Republicans.[18][19] Commentators, including Gallup Editor-in-Chief Frank Newport, have suggested that the movement is not a new political group but simply a rebranding of traditional Republican candidates and policies.

the tea party caucus of the house is comprised entirely of republicans... IT has 48 members. THere are other republican tea party members that are in the house that refuse to join because Bachmann is the self proclaimed head of the caucus, being its founder. Once they change the caucus leadership in a year, which they will, the rest will probably join.

of course thats a personal estimation of what they will do. Pure opinion.

What is factual is that the tea party has not elected any dems or lib indies. They opposed them in every race they ran.
 
So it's the TPers that choose who can join. Not that a Dem would want in, right?

I'm asking because you posted 80% of TPers consider themselves to be Pugs. What are the other 20%?

Each caucus has its own membership requirements, I believe. Bachmann wrote the charter. I cant imagine she left room for a Democrat to join somehow.

What happened to the Tea Party is what happened to the GOP itself: it got hijacked by the Elephangelicals and Talibangelicals. So it's no longer about fiscal responsibility and reform, it's about ideology.
 
So many fundamentalist christians.

So few lions.
