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."
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

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?
@ 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 Of course you haven't heard it in awhile because you Neocons don't refer to yourselves as 'Neocons' yet you still use outdated and meaningless phrases such as 'liberal media.'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.
