    Different political party's...fiscal conservatives.

    It's a movement, not a political party.

    Not sure when it officially started but it is not a party, it is a grass roots movement that is looking to bring fiscal responsibility back into the government.

    Despite what you will hear, they have no stance on moral issues, only financial. They want a full and open accounting of where our money is being spent and they want to be able to tell the government where and how much they can spend-not the other way around.

    It is not an actual registered political party, and it is made up of primarily far right-wing extremists. Membership also primarily consists of a lower education level than more moderate conservatives. It was founded 2 yrs ago as a reaction to the election of Barack Obama.

    2 High-profile "members" are Sarah Palin and Barbra Bachman (that says it all doesn't it?).

    They want to put more money back into the pockets of the rich. They are mostly white people. They don't want to fund public education because their kids go to fancy private schools. They want less regulation so that BP can have more oil spills and companies can take advantage of workers.

    It is not a political party. It is a grassroots movement.

  • Tax payers. Liberals claim they are "extremists" and Far right wingers. Nice. Calling people names because they are tired of paying all the taxes, and want the corruption to end. Most people pay no Federal taxes, and they are the ones who want more and claim that anyone who whines is unreasonable. Liberals. Unbelievable. Every major Federal program costs a fortune is is bankrupt, and they want more programs.

    It is borne of ignorance, fear of non-whites, a rejection of reason and a passion for being misinformed.
