Four Antidotes for the Four Major Themes of the Tea Party Movement

Posted by The Tea Party Movement On September - 30 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS
There are numerous questions left answered towards the many different problems that plague the nation. The victories of the Tea Party in various GOP primaries is just a testament to the many lessons the Republicans can get from the scorching anger that the Tea Party activists are displaying. In being able to identify the 4 main themes of the movement, Bradford Kane also gave the antidotes for each theme. It is very important that whoever gets those seats this November, should give their attention to the concerns of this movement or suffer the same fate that Democrats will soon have.

On Fiscal Responsibility

Being the central theme for these upcoming midterm elections, fiscal responsibility should be on top of everyone’s agenda. It is very important for these lawmakers to focus on job creation as this is the only way for the economy to experience growth. There should be an effective and inexpensive way to conduct job skills training. The bulk of unspent stimulus money can be used for e-learning programs which will further widen the skill set of unemployed workers. To ensure the long-term sustainability of our economy, deficit reduction should also be prioritized. The bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform will recommend ways to reduce the debt and deficit such as reducing defense spending, increasing taxes on large corporations and phasing out spending for certain programs.

On the Role of the Government

The role of the government remains to be a legitimate topic for debate, and can best be addressed by specifically identifying what the American people would lose if the federal government were limited or controlled. The voting population may still be unease with the proposal of privatizing social security and Medicare, eliminating civil rights laws and financial companies taking advantage of consumers. They may not also be in favor of dismantling unemployment insurance and educational programs. This remains to be a major topic for discussion and evaluation. While some roles of the government should be better off handled by U.S. states, others are still better addressed by the federal government itself.

On Anger

Voters should be critical enough and must know that, whoever they choose, that candidate will be bringing along a wide range of political views, not only the few that they usually reiterate during the campaign. Each race should be localized, with a focus on the choice between the particular candidates, rather than on national trends. Radical proposals which stem from anger can be countered with sound policies toward shared objectives. Voters should realize that the sound policies of Obama will only take effect in the coming months. The upcoming elections should be nationalized, giving full attention to what the Tea Party candidates say they would do.

On Demonization

Demonization is quite destructive in nature based on distrust and prejudice. Americans of all political beliefs should strongly condemn attacks that are based on baseless allegations and false accusations. There is now, more than ever, a greater need for decency and civility rather than hateful and antagonistic rhetoric behavior. The recent issue with regards to the planned construction of an Islamic center right near the ground zero site is a perfect example of the destruction that demonization may bring. By practicing collaboration, civility and dialogue, a compromise can be done in order to avoid conflict and have a more harmonious society.

The bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform will recommend ways to reduce the debt and deficit such as reducing defense spending, increasing taxes on large corporations and phasing out spending for certain programs.

On the Role of the Government

The role of the government remains to be a legitimate topic for debate, and can best be addressed by specifically identifying what the American people would lose if the federal government were limited or controlled. The voting population may still be unease with the proposal of privatizing social security and Medicare, eliminating civil rights laws and financial companies taking advantage of consumers. They may not also be in favor of dismantling unemployment insurance and educational programs. This remains to be a major topic for discussion and evaluation. While some roles of the government should be better off handled by U.S. states, others are still better addressed by the federal government itself.

On Anger

Voters should be critical enough and must know that, whoever they choose, that candidate will be bringing along a wide range of political views, not only the few that they usually reiterate during the campaign. Each race should be localized, with a focus on the choice between the particular candidates, rather than on national trends. Radical proposals which stem from anger can be countered with sound policies toward shared objectives. Voters should realize that the sound policies of Obama will only take effect in the coming months. The upcoming elections should be nationalized, giving full attention to what the Tea Party candidates say they would do.

On Demonization

Demonization is quite destructive in nature based on distrust and prejudice. Americans of all political beliefs should strongly condemn attacks that are based on baseless allegations and false accusations. There is now, more than ever, a greater need for decency and civility rather than hateful and antagonistic rhetoric behavior. The recent issue with regards to the planned construction of an Islamic center right near the ground zero site is a perfect example of the destruction that demonization may bring. By practicing collaboration, civility and dialogue, a compromise can be done in order to avoid conflict and have a more harmonious society.

There are numerous questions left answered towards the many different problems that plague the nation. The victories of the Tea Party in various GOP primaries is just a testament to the many lessons the Republicans can get from the scorching anger that the Tea Party activists are displaying. In being able to identify the 4 main themes of the movement, Bradford Kane also gave the antidotes for each theme. It is very important that whoever gets those seats this November, should give their attention to the concerns of this movement or suffer the same fate that Democrats will soon have.

On Fiscal Responsibility

Being the central theme for these upcoming midterm elections, fiscal responsibility should be on top of everyone’s agenda. It is very important for these lawmakers to focus on job creation as this is the only way for the economy to experience growth. There should be an effective and inexpensive way to conduct job skills training. The bulk of unspent stimulus money can be used for e-learning programs which will further widen the skill set of unemployed workers.

Does GOP have a place for Tea Party Agenda?

Posted by The Tea Party Movement On September - 28 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS
When Christine O’Donnell was able to snatch the Republican nomination against GOP-backed Mike Castle for the senate seat in Delaware, she immediately gained political fame for having defeated a strong contender for the seat. Castle was heavily favored by the GOP to win the primary until Tea Party activists along with Sarah Palin poured support for O’Donnell resulting in her victory. Immediately after O’Donnell’s win, several high-profile GOP leaders mentioned that they will not support her financially and they felt that their aim of regaining control of the senate was being threatened.

At the recent Values Voter Summit which is an annual gathering of Christian conservatives, Republicans have underlined their primary concern that Tea Party’s focus on fiscal issues might interfere and sideline the agendas of their other candidates. It is remembered that the Tea Party Movement has drawn huge crowds in protesting the cost of Obama’s health care bill, along with his “Unsuccessful” economic stimulus program and his proposed expiration of Bush-era tax cuts. For the past three decades, Christian conservatives have played a key role in the Republican coalition. And now, they are seeking for a reassurance from the party that they are not going to be displaced.

Just last week, Tea Party strategists Matt Kibbe told reporters at a breakfast meeting that the Tea Party Movement is not anti-religion. Yet, Kibbe is widely known as one of a number of movement leaders who have called for more focus on the nation’s economy. One reason seen is the fact that economic issues are rather more appealing to independent voters who decide to fall elections. And with developing concerns that their causes will be left out, three socially conservative organizations last week unveiled 20,000 signatures on petitions demanding that the party will include in its priority list "issues on Family Values" such as a favorable ban on abortion.

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the “Susan B. Anthony list” which funds female candidates opposed to abortion, uttered the following words “"It would be an electorally costly mistake for the GOP not to include them (social issues, religion and family values)”. Going back to the Values Voter Summit, several potential Republican presidential contenders rejected the possibility of downplaying a conservative social agenda. Former Arkansas governor said the following words “There are a lot of people who say this is not a year when we should be talking about social issues, values issues”. He also added “Many of our economic issues are the result of the breakdown of something of character and integrity”.

Many participants of the summit also expressed similar sentiments. Elaine Tornero of Columbus, Ohio, mentioned that he believes the Tea Party movement is equally concerned about socially conservative values. In order to be successful in their goal of repealing Democratic influence in the government, the GOP and the Tea Party must be united and must share common goals in order to achieve victory this coming elections.

Does GOP have a place for Tea Party Agenda?

When Christine O’Donnell was able to snatch the Republican nomination against GOP-backed Mike Castle for the senate seat in Delaware, she immediately gained political fame for having defeated a strong contender for the seat. Castle was heavily favored by the GOP to win the primary until Tea Party activists along with Sarah Palin poured support for O’Donnell resulting in her victory. Immediately after O’Donnell’s win, several high-profile GOP leaders mentioned that they will not support her financially and they felt that their aim of regaining control of the senate was being threatened.

At the recent Values Voter Summit which is an annual gathering of Christian conservatives, Republicans have underlined their primary concern that Tea Party’s focus on fiscal issues might interfere and sideline the agendas of their other candidates. It is remembered that the Tea Party Movement has drawn huge crowds in protesting the cost of Obama’s health care bill, along with his “Unsuccessful” economic stimulus program and his proposed expiration of Bush-era tax cuts. For the past three decades, Christian conservatives have played a key role in the Republican coalition. And now, they are seeking for a reassurance from the party that they are not going to be displaced.

Just last week, Tea Party strategists Matt Kibbe told reporters at a breakfast meeting that the Tea Party Movement is not anti-religion. Yet, Kibbe is widely known as one of a number of movement leaders who have called for more focus on the nation’s economy. One reason seen is the fact that economic issues are rather more appealing to independent voters who decide to fall elections. And with developing concerns that their causes will be left out, three socially conservative organizations last week unveiled 20,000 signatures on petitions demanding that the party will include in its priority list "issues on Family Values" such as a favorable ban on abortion.

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the “Susan B. Anthony list” which funds female candidates opposed to abortion, uttered the following words “"It would be an electorally costly mistake for the GOP not to include them (social issues, religion and family values)”.
