our Constitution and founding documents are important, and that States' rights are equally important,

but it's like supporting Ron Paul...
you understand what they are saying, but with out major change it isn't possible.... and we also understand in order to get what they want, our way of life will no longer exist as we see it today..

I sure hope we can head down a better path, and meet them halfway...

Change can mean a multitude of things, hopefully next time it is defined.

I'm a Texan, first, but I'd kinda' like to stay united. It'll have to get a lot worse before I'm ready to secede. There are Patriots, true to the word, from all over the states. Some of the worst, socialist politicians (past and present)there have ever been hail from Texas and some of the greatest Statesmen as well. I'm not ready to divorce myself from my fellow compatriots be they from New Jersey, Maine, Idaho, Montana, etc.

Somebody has to pay for California. May as well be you. Most of us are getting pretty tired of being told what to do and how much to pay.

If they need more to feed kids, they're more than welcome to it.

Darn if I want to pay for someone who spent $170K for an old travel trailer on a 1/8 acre lot. Nor do I want to pay for the guy who defaulted on all that rental property out of convenience. Send him to prison. They should also send those get rich quick infomercial real estate salesman right along with him.

good luck

Wouldn't that be something? Not likely to happen but it's an interesting thought.

Who would you pick to preside over Texas?

Hey, Backhoe, I couldn't agree more on not wanting to be dictated to by communists in California or New York and to be forced to pay for Socialist programs. I just think it is past time for those of us living in this Constitutional Republic and believing that our founding is still valid and worthwhile, stick together and fight for our country. I ain't giving up on it, yet.

This could be constructive. Especially on the sticking together part. There's a whole bunch outside the state who want to be in with us.

Normally when a new political party forms, one of the existing parties adopts their platform - atleast in part. Then the new party folds. But others have gone by the way side.

Its time for the whiner party to go the route of the whigs. It used to be my party until it got all twisted.

We need a second party - no doubt. It is just part of the checks and balances. That is a new second party. One existing party can change their name to the communist party. Better describes it.

Its gonna take a grassroots movement to shake it all up. That movement is underway. There is a bunch of momentum. Maybe things need to get a little worse first. Actually try to come and take our guns or something.

The grassroots movement will definitely catch some attention, like always.
But, it will take much more than a white Obama Republican to pull it all together. Historically, the right leader has never emerged who had the financial resources to compete with the Repub/Dem parties.

"Actually try to come and take our guns..." You got that right!!

It has been mentioned before, the pendulum is swinging.

The National Tea Party Convention wasn’t Sarah Palin’s first stop in Nashville on Saturday.

Before she headed to Opryland to address a crowd of 1,100 ticketholders and some 200 national and international journalists, the former vice presidential candidate made a quiet detour to the Nashville home of B.C. “Scooter” Clippard, to meet some of the Tennesseans she’d want by her side if she does make a run for the White House in 2012.

“It’s amazing how people believe in her,” said Clippard, one of the state’s high-octane Republican fundraisers whose past efforts have funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars into campaigns ranging from George W. Bush to Fred Thompson to John McCain. “I’ve gotten calls and emails from people who were in that room who would love to help her with her cause, who wanted to help her with donations to her PAC…I’m telling you, she radiates.”

About 30 guests came out to meet Palin and her 8-year-old daughter Piper on Saturday afternoon. The group ranged from gubernatorial candidate Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey to country singer John Rich, who toured with the McCain/Palin campaign in 2008. Lee Beaman, president of Lee Beaman Automotive Group in Nashville, gave away his tickets to Palin’s Tea Party speech for a chance to see her up close.

“She immediately started asking a lot of questions about me,” said Beaman, who said Palin peppered him with questions about how he was coping withe recent Toyota recalls and how car sales were faring in the economy in general. “I kept trying to talk politics with her and she kept redirecting the conversation to talk about me. In one sense, it was frustrating because I wanted to talk politics. But on the other hand, how often do you find a politician who’s genuinely interested in what you have to say?”

Of course, liking Palin doesn’t necessarily mean everyone in the room will support her if she runs. Mitt Romney, who positioning himself for 2012, enjoyed broad support among the state’s political establishment in 2008, but dropped out of the race before the Tennessee primary.

“I can’t say for sure I would support her, but after meeting her, I’m a lot closer to it,” Beaman said.

Clippard, who served as national finance co-chair of the McCain/Palin campaign, got to know Palin during the campaign and kept in touch afterward — including a trip to Alaska where the two families went snowmobiling together. For many of the other guests, it was their first chance to see the candidate up-close.

“I kidded with friends that (Fox New’s) Chris Wallace had an hour interview with her. Basically, I had an hour and a half,” said John Padgett, president of Modern Marine Corp. in Nashville.

“I sell boats and when I walk up to somebody, I’m trying to figure out, ‘What’s this person like? What do they want?” said Padgett, who sized up Palin and concluded a) the Alaskan outdoorswoman probably isn’t in the market for one of the pleasure boats Tennesseans favor for lake and river cruising and b) “She’s the genuine article, as wholesome a person as I have ever met.”

The economy weighs heavily on Padgett, who runs one of the few local boat dealerships to survive the downturn. He worries, he said, “about what this economy is doing to our customers and our future customers.”

“We need to elect the people who hold the values we need, not elect some political smooth talker. I want sincerity and Sarah Palin has sincerity,” he said. “Even if she writes on her hand, who cares? I write on my hand and (President) Obama would too, if he didn’t have that teleprompter.”

Clippard’s invited guests ranged from political and business leaders to music industry insiders. A seemed to come away singing her praises.

“I found this lady to be very honest and sincere and above reproach,” said Bud Elliott, president of Elliott Crane Rentals in Murfreesboro. “I told her I would do anything I could to help her.”

When John McCain became the Republican Party’s nominee, Elliott said he donated $250 to the campaign. Then Palin came along. “The day she came aboard, I maxed out” on the election contribution limits, he said.

Attorney Linda Edell Howard, whose clients include Charlie Daniels, didn’t come to talk politics. She came to meet Palin.

“She was real. I didn’t feel like I was meeting a stranger,” said Howard, who like Palin had a baby later in life. When she told her that she’d had her first baby at age 47, “right away she asked, ‘was everything OK?’” Palin’s next question was to see pictures of the baby, now 2 years old.

What Howard said struck her most was the fact that Palin kept eye contact with her the entire time they were talking. In the entertainment industry, you get used to talking to people who are constantly scanning the room, looking for someone more important or more famous.

“Her eyes were bright, she was extremely focused,” she said. “She was extremely happy, not nervous at all..she seemed very humble, (about the fact) that people wanted to meet her.”

Medina is clearly riding the wave of discontent with the Republican establishment. Among primary voters who disapprove of the job the GOP in Congress is doing she actually leads with 37% to 32% for Perry and 22% for Hutchison.

Medina owes at least some of her support to Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), who has employed her on his electoral bids and with his Campaign for Liberty, and who tipped off his supporters to her candidacy in September. While the challenge Paul is facing from three Tea Party candidates reveals that the movement is much more hawkish and traditionally Republican in federal elections, the 10th Amendment argument is clearly a winner with state voters.

Question: Why when the MSM is telling us that Palin is the voice of the Tea Party movement, is she stumping for Perry? He's not the Tea Party candidate in Texas, Medina is.

You answered your own question (I think). MSM

Perry has vocalized the Tea Party movement locally all along. He hasn't fully endorsed the Tejas grass roots movement but he has flirted along.
