do you have a problem with

The first thing you need to know is that Tea Party Patriots was started by FreedomWorks which was started from Citizens for a Sound Economy - All of which are Koch foundations. If you watch the video above you will see how Citizens for a Sound Economy used fake grassroots campaigns and propaganda to fight regulation of big tobacco (and HillaryCare) - and those internal documents are publicly available as part of the tobacco settlement... so you can read for yourself how they have been utilizing these tactics for decades. Ever heard the term Kochtopus?

This is the thing about their mission statements... they are propaganda, pure and simple.

Fiscal Responsibility = kill off all entitlement programs for the poor and seniors but continue to provide subsidies to oil companies by all means

Constitutionally Limited Government - don't try and regulate private industry... especially convicted polluters such as Koch Industries

Free Markets - See above - deregulate deregulate deregulate

Deregulation is what led to the financial crisis.
