....Karl Denninger about many of his positions on issues,
especially on the withholding of child support, but I have to
agree with his position on the Tea Party. He was one of the founders.

Tea Party founder fed up with movement

America’s Tea Party movement has evolved into a nightmare for the
movement’s founder. The movement used to be about corruption and
government spending, but now it is about "guns, gays and God".


“It began with the Bear Sterns bailout. We had a handful of people,
about a dozen, that marched on Wall Street,” said Karl Denninger,
Founder of Tea Party and The Market Ticker.

The intention was to speak out against excessive corporatism and
corruption and hold the government accountable to its promises of change.

“It took about a month for the establishment Republicans to come in and
essentially take the party over,” he said. “It became all guns, gods,
and gays. That’s a great thing to talk about, but that’s not what we
intended.”

He added; “I don’t believe this is the set of issues we should be
focused on in this country.”

There is not little discussion in the movement about the economy,
corruption, the foreclosure crisis and other relevant issues.

“None of the so-called Tea Party candidates are talking about this,”
Denninger said. “The slogan that we adopted very early on was ‘stop the
looting and start the prosecuting’ and I can’t find one of these
supposed Tea Party candidates that is actually willing to come out and
say that in public.”

Oh, Karl also supports the Wall Street demonstrations.
Denninger argued the original agenda may have to be fought through a new
or different organization, since the Tea Party has simply become a
member of the right wing of the Republican Party under figures like
Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich and Bobb Bar.

If the people in the Tea Party movement want to put these people back in
power to continue the past policies of the Bush administration that is
up to the American people, explained Denninger.

Good for Karl. I remember arguing with him as well. He put up a good
fight.

Saw some interviews done by Huffington Post at a recent Tea Party
event. They were asking their thoughts on the Occupy Wall Street
rally and the respondents were just about as dense as you could
imagine.

They had so little to say that had any intelligible rationale. Only
that "those people" don't share the same value.

Tea Party is now a bunch of stick in the butt idiots who still
identify themselves as Republicans. Vapid idiots.
