If you're gonna do something, just do it already. This whole "will they, won't they" thing is worse than a crappy romantic comedy.

Obama will even send you a thank-you note. He'd love nothing more than to start a new war to take all of our minds off his abysmal economic failures.

Neither of the major political parties believes in any of that, but they both agree on the importance of blocking ballot access by third-party candidates. So, unfortunately, we'll get to choose between Smelly Crap and Smellier Crap all over again.

The GOP is done, folks. I don't know why tea partiers even bother trying to find someone within that bunch of hacks that's worth a vote. Want to send a message? Imagine all those votes that were divided up between the three "non-establishment" candidates going to one person in a completely different party, like the Constitution Party or the Libertarian Party.

The GOP will never change at all unless it gets sent a serious message stating that its preferred candidates, chosen by the party leadership, suck. Splitting your vote between a whole bunch of Republicans only makes the party think it's got a lot of great candidates who any conservative would love to support.

What's most sad is that, despite all the bitching about how the party is so messed up, tea partiers will bite the bullet and go into the voting booth in November and cast yet another wasted vote for a phony Republican. Then they'll go home, blathering a bunch of garbage about "the lesser of two evils," and wondering why things never change.

Agh!!!!!!! Take more of my money to protect me, Big Brother!!!!!!!!

Calm down. We spend more on defense than every other country on the planet combined. Seriously. Look it up. We're doing just fine.

If $3.83 trillion can buy our way out of an economic nightmare, mainlining heroin can cure an addict.

Right, Mr. President?

Don't you mean he BLAMES THE GOVERNMENT?

I'm not the government and neither are you. Americans are not their government! For the love of all that is holy, please stop equating blaming the government for problems with blaming America for problems. They're two entirely different things.

Does welfare suck? How about the public education system? Medicare and Medicaid? If you think these things are bad, you are by your own twisted logic "blaming America."

The world is a messed up place full of messed up people. The fact that our government sticks its nose into the hornet's nest just because it thinks it can and should doesn't make it smart or right. And pointing out such utter stupidity doesn't make one a "blame America firster."

Get a new line of argument. You're using the same tired line of thinking that drives every statist. Your inane belief is what always keeps the boot of tyranny on the throat of would-be free people.

There's a difference between isolationism and non-interventionism. Pat Buchanan is an isolationist. Ron Paul, like the founders, is more of a non-interventionist.

Has an embargo against Cuba been effective at getting rid of Castro? Embargoes are isolationist because they disallow trade between people in different countries. Sanctions act the same way. Supporting free trade and the exchange of ideas between cultures is the polar opposite of isolationism.

Was Jefferson an isolationist when he said, "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none?" It seems like most people on the Right today would tar him with that label the same way they do Ron Paul, a guy whose political philosophy is most similar to the late Robert Taft who was called "Mr. Republican."

That ought to show you how far off the reservation most of the Republican Party has wandered.

I agree. Too many people on the Right want to address everything at the federal level when that should be the absolute last thing we should want. We've gotten in this mess specifically by acting as a "nation" instead of as a collection of individual states. Almost every problem that confronts us can and should be addressed at the state and local levels, exactly as the founders intended.

But Huckabee is?

I never use stupid internet-speak because I despise it, but LOL.

I'd like to believe your assertion, but far too many Tea Party folks that I encounter fail to question the government's flawed foreign policy–a foreign policy which runs completely counter to the beliefs of the men who wrote our constitution. Moreover, these people think it is unpatriotic to criticize the government in this regard, a notion which would turn the stomachs of men like Washington and Jefferson.

A government big enough to police the entire earth will inevitably turn its eyes toward policing the lives of the citizens. If we have an unfortunate tendency to want our government to exercise control over the rest of the world, our government will likewise have an unfortunate tendency to want to exercise control over us. Not recognizing that simple fact will ensure that we are stuck with a bloated, intrusive, bureaucratic government for a very long time. At this point, bankruptcy may be the only thing capable of stopping the beast.

It's fine to say you believe in the constitution and the vision of the founders, but unless you are willing to actually put those beliefs into practice–all of them–the words are all but meaningless.
