i hope the following people will always be remembered for being traitors to liberty

[Feeding the Abscess]

The Tea Party was never about liberty, except in its very infancy.
The second it became something separate from Ron Paul, it stopped being about liberty and started being just anti-tax.
Being against perceived tyranny is easy and natural, being for liberty takes some effort of thought... Hence the kind of people that flocked to it.

My answer... The whole Reason/CATO/LP scene.
Thankfully they probably just plain won't be remembered.

Shit, it wasn't even anti-tax, that at least would have been a principled objection. It became anti-democrat.

I think what's hurting RP most is the non-stop barrage of warmongering and fearmongering coming from the MSM. One thing I've realized by working with and discussing politics with average folks down in Tn, is that the louder the war drums beat the more fanatical the support for Israel becomes - and that is driving unwitting voters right into the hands of neoconservative fascists like Santorum who are feeding on all the propaganda. I'm sure Palin managed to hijack and corrupt the TP using those same tactics. But RP can't reverse himself and say we should now bomb Iran and continue donating vast sums of money and arms to Israel - he has too much integrity for that. I'm afraid we will not break 15% in the remaining Bible Belt States unless we find an answer.

I blame the whole "go along to get alongers".

Neither Palin or Bachmann were ever part of the liberty movement--they were always part of the GOP take-over of the liberty movement.

exactly!

Sarah Palin is pretty much a phony. But she held the keys to this election in her hands. I'm convinced if she somehow came out and told the tea party to rally around Ron Paul we would be ahead right now.

Its sad to think that she alone had in her hands the power to begin the start to turn this country around but she turned out to have no principles at all.

I'll never forgive her for this.

Totally wrong ... She helped steal the name for the GOP, and those from the original movement would not listen to her, even if she promised the World.
Remember,
She came out of nowhere to run with McCain.

Tell that to the teo-cons...

Love it !!
