The "BACHMANN TEA PARTY" Voting record for the UNCONSTITUTIONAL PATRIOT ACT

 

THE BACHMANN HOUSE TEA PARTY CAUCUS - The WOLF in Tea Party Clothing

The Tea Party Caucus is a caucus of the United States House of Representatives and Senate launched and chaired by Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann on July 16, 2010.[1] The caucus is dedicated to promoting fiscal responsibility, adherence to their party's interpretation of the Constitution[2], and limited government.

 

In an attempt to quell fears that Washington insiders were attempting to co-opt the Tea Party movement, Rep Michele Bachmann stated "We're not the mouthpiece. We are not taking the Tea Party and controlling it from Washington, D.C. We are also not here to vouch for the Tea Party or to vouch for any Tea Party organizations or to vouch for any individual people or actions, or billboards or signs or anything of the Tea Party. We are the receptacle."

 

Political donations

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the top contributors to the Tea Party caucus members are health professionals, retirees, the real estate industry and oil and gas interests. The Center said the contributions to caucus members from these groups, plus those from Republican and conservative groups, are on average higher than those of House members in general and also for other Republicans. The average Tea Party caucus member received more than $25,000 from the oil and gas industry; compared to about $13,000 for the average House member and $21,500 for the average House Republican

This is where I stand! This is where my allegiance is. I do not make this statement lightly. I would rather give my life on American soil than in Iraq or Afghanistan, Vietnam, or any other perverse foreign entanglement envisioned by George Washington, who addressed the new Congress when he warned Americans of the impending future. I will oppose the UN with all I have to give should it come to that!

I welcome any brothers and sisters who care to enter into that contract that binds all of us to the cause of freedom, carries on the heritage of our forefathers, and furthers the American vision of freedom, because this is where I am headed. And I will tell you that if it comes down to opposing the NWO as they attempt to silence the American call to arms in the event of a police state, then I will die for that cause with no reservation. However, I do not advocate that outcome unless forced to embrace it. Then I will die among the those who have given their lives over and over through the wars of history that made a clear distinction between individual freedoms and the tyranny of the oppressor. That time grows near unless the paradigm changes drastically. God, I ask thee to look down upon those of us, who are willing to honor your spirit and that heritage that dwells within the origin of the United States of America. For this is where I choose to contribute my life if needed, my blood spilled on our soil, not the foreign soil of some distant cause never intended by our forefathers. Amen!

You guys can agree among yourselves all you want in your mutual admiration society has no influence over my views nor do I desire to enter into your convoluted tryst. I have stood with the Tea Party, I am not blind, and I can tell you they are alive and well and will be a major influence in deciding the outcome of the coming election. If you don't believe it than that's you problem.
Comment by Doc Vega on July 6, 2011 at 11:31pm
Now, I want to know about your horrible co-opted experience with the Tea Party because 1) I don't believe you witnessed the Tea Party being compromised on the spot. 2) I have witnessed and been part of the Tea Party in Washington DC on 2 occasions (9/12 and Tax Day) both events completely distorted by the liberal press. I witnessed it within an hour of returning from the event and reading a pre-prepared article designed only for the liable and discrediting of the event. I have witnessed numerous Tea Party events in Dallas, and I can tell all of you who sit on your ass on the sidelines that there is no compromise, no co-opting of the events, all are welcome, the voice of freedom speaks except to you who are seeking your false agendas.

Gosh, did you mean th-that there could actually be conservatives th-that don't share the vision of limited government, constitutional due process, and and lower or no taxes? Jeez, I think that could actually be Ron Paul from Texas where I actually live! Gosh, isn't that amazing? While other corporate monstrosities like Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich are, like totally deaf to the true conservative cause continue to campaign and further compromise the conservative movement? Do yuh think!

If the Tea Party was supposedly against a powerful government and for freedoms for individuals, then why did so many of their supposed representatives vote for the Patriot Act?

 

Is there a single one of them that is not a Political Zionist that loves Israel more than America?

Comment by Nikki on July 6, 2011 at 4:33pm

@ Sky, lol, so true.

@ Arch, agreed. But to prove a point, he makes complaints about the site such as we are liberal Obama supporters and never talk about God.  So when I point out to him he's mistaken and provide links to him, he ignores it.  It kind of makes you wonder why he joined the site in the first place.

@ Doc Vega, the terms 'Neoconservative' and 'Neocon' have been around since the 50s/60s and the meaning has changed over time.  When you do a comprehensive search you will find that more than one person has been credited with first using the word.  Of course you haven't heard it in awhile because you Neocons don't refer to yourselves as 'Neocons' yet you still use outdated and meaningless phrases such as 'liberal media.'

 

Any online dictionary will give you a good definition of the word 'Neocon'.  Urban Dictionary gives the best because it's more detailed.  And I will add that, once again, this is not a partisan issue.  Obama and his administration are now considered Neocons too.

It is useless to try talking to people like Doc. They are stuck where they are by hatred and fear. They won't stand against who they see as their representatives in the republican party. They won't go Against Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

 

I know, its frustrating to see someone who will point the finger at one side and not the other. Its maddening to see someone accusing you of supporting one side of the dichotomy because you don't support the other side.

 

Ping pong. Get yourself some paddles and balls. Play until you figure it out. You can't help someone win by being their opponent.

Thank you, Vincent. We may have to use the troll spray...
Comment by Nikki on July 6, 2011 at 2:28pm
@Doc Vega, you can use whatever names you choose.  The point is there is a big divide in what you call 'conservatives'.  There are the anti-war, Libertarian leaning, small government, sound economics, end-the-fed conservatives as opposed to the pro-war, big spending Republicans who support corporate welfare and want to keep the fed to fund their illegal wars.
