Neither will do it. Both seek our enslavement. I also agree with you about bush and obomney.

What we need is a happy medium. That is why the Constitution gave more power to the states than the feds, and why the people were supposed to be sovereign. The one size fits all approach does not work. All current federal laws need to be repealed unless they meet a strict Constitutional litmus test showing that the states cannot implement said laws in a way that better serves each state's population.
I agree!
Who is more likely to do that; the extreme liberal left (Obama types) or the extreme Tea Party right?
Who stands for the constitution??
Which of these two groups sharts on the constitution on a regular basis?
(By the way, Bush and Romney are not the ‘right’ I'm talking about nor do they pass the Tea Party smell test)

It is just evidence of the fact that "both sides" are against us.

OUR MISSION
The Tea Party Patriots’ mission is to restore America’s founding principles of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.
OUR CORE PRINCIPLES
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY means not overspending, and not burdening our children and grandchildren with our bills. In the words of Thomas Jefferson: “the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity [is] swindling futurity on a large scale.” A more fiscally responsible government will take fewer taxes from our paychecks.
CONSTITUTIONALLY LIMITED GOVERNMENT means power resides with the people and not with the government. Governing should be done at the most local level possible where it can be held accountable. America’s founders believed that government power should be limited, enumerated, and constrained by our Constitution. Tea Party Patriots agree. The American people make this country great, not our government.
FREE MARKET ECONOMICS made America an economic superpower that for at least two centuries provided subsequent generations of Americans more opportunities and higher standards of living. An erosion of our free markets through government intervention is at the heart of America’s current economic decline, stagnating jobs, and spiraling debt and deficits. Failures in government programs and government-controlled financial markets helped spark the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Further government interventions and takeovers have made this Great Recession longer and deeper. A renewed focus on free markets will lead to a more vibrant economy creating jobs and higher standards of living for future generations.
There are no "sides" when it comes to those people. Only "us" against "them". Now, some of "us" do have different desires. Some of "us" want a nanny state, some of "us" want personal freedom and accept the requisite personal responsibility. Thus, when the time comes, the US will likely have to split into two or more nations.

Unfortunately, even repuklicants regularly demonize the teaparty.
The teaparty really needs to split from the repuklicants and form an actual new party. Until they do, I see them as just another set of politicians.
The only difference, imo, is whether you want to sprint towards socialism or power walk there.

and Romney is only a slightly better option IMO.
Don't feel like The Lone Ranger. I also have no representation in the government with the possible exception of RP.
Originally posted by seabagI have no representation in this presidential election…
Precisely! That is exactly why I posted it.. to show that this is an issue that both sides of the aisle are guilty of. The sooner we stop all the finger pointing and name calling the sooner we will be able to come together to fight the real evil here which is Government, not liberals not conservatives... but Government as a whole.
Are you actually in support of the so called Tea Party Congressmen? Is that what you mean by trying to fix it from the inside out and they're being marginalized for it?

Many on the right don’t subscribe to the GOP…
