Tea Party Groups Will Protest at GOP Fundraiser
Capitol Watch/Hartford Courant ^ | January 15, 2014 | Daniela Altimari

National Republican chairman Reince Priebus is coming to Connecticut to raise money this week and the tea party will be there to greet him.

The activists will gather Thursday night outside the Owl Shop in New Haven, where GOP insiders will raise money over cigars and cocktails. (The minimum individual contribution is $125.)

GOOD!

I wish I could be there.

Are they going to punch us in the nose like Mitch wants to do?

Are they going to put their fingers in their ears and sing like little kids “I'm not listening, I'm not listening!”
while they chuckle about the “exotics” outside protesting.

I predict much less chuckling and mirth amongst the RINO elite after the primaries...

Good. Go Get ‘Em!

RINOs, Establishment GOP, Royal Republicans.

It’s no wonder we got stuck with 2 terms of the Anti-President.

“...Organizer Chris Ford, a veteran blogger and tea party activist who goes by the name Palin Smith, said he hopes to send a message.
“We don’t like … I call them ‘royal Republicans’ … some people call them RINOs, some people call them establishment Republicans,” “

“Royal Republicans”: Yeah that has a ring to it. “Royalist” would be more historically accurate.

Priebus is really ineffective, but most Republican primary voters have never heard of him.

I wish this was somewhere in the mid-Atlantic region. I’d love to be there with the Tea Party.

An old adage says that if you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything.

They stand for Bipartisan so the media won’t call them extreme.

Bipartisan: a synonym for Date Rape.

If I were there I would also protest:
Gary Holder-Winfield, candidate for state Senate in the vacant New Haven district. Winfield was the chief sponsor of the Transgender Rights Bathroom Bill which was signed into law in 2011.

Winfield faces a tough race against one or 2 other candidates at the end of FEB.

Wouldn’t you love to be standing in front of “old smooth face” McConnell and him try to punch you in the nose.

Honestly, I bet the pee sitting down. They don’t have the needed “unit” to pee standing up.

But they do like to pee into the wind.

Mark Greenberg CT-5 gonna be inside. Do I pay the $125 and go inside or protest on the sidewalk with his supporters?

If I go, it will be for the purpose of opposing that Gary Holder-winfield transgender specialist ... he need to be defeated. Hispanic & Black Churches in New Haven do not like all that LGBT stuff ...

Biggirl, am I reading this right? CT has tea party members? I wish Tom Scott won in ‘94. CT would be better off.
