Sarah Palin er ekki talsmaður teboðshreyfingarinnar

.. ekki frekar en Birgitta Jónsdóttir er talsmaður búsáhaldabyltingarinnar.

 Teboðshreyfingin er grasrótarhreyfing með engann kjörinn leiðtoga eða talsmann. Sarah Palin má vera sammála teboðshreyfingunni svokölluðu í mörgum megin atriðum, s.s. hvað varðar skattalækkanir. En skoðanir Söru Palin endurspegla augljóslega á engan hátt skoðanir heillar hreyfingar sem er ekki með neina leiðtoga.

Political analyst Dick Morris says the Tea Party is a grassroots movement with no national leadership. "Those who conduct its affairs are mere coordinators of local groups where the real power lies. The entire affair is a grass roots-dominated movement." He notes that the teapartypatriots.org umbrella group, with more than 2,800 local affiliates, has only seven paid staff members, and a payroll of $50,000 a month.^[4]

 

Hægt væri að halda fram að markmið teboðshreyfingarinnar séu eftirfarandi, þar sem þau eru valin af töluvert stórum hópu fólks:

 Hvað varðar efni málsins, þá snýst þetta um þá megin reglu að vera ekki endalaust að veita undanþágur frá skatti og flækja þannig skattkerfið. Mun hagkvæmara er fyrir alla að hafa flatan lágan skatt.  Deilan snýst ekki um hvort konur eigi að gefa brjóst eða hvernig.

 Afburðar léleg blaðamennska hjá mbl.is í þessu máli.

Teboðshreyfingin hjólar í brjóstagjafir
