I like it!!!! I was thinking of something along those lines myself.
Texas has more than double the number of electoral votes than the state with the second most electoral votes that went to Romney....and we had NO say on who the nominee would be.
She can declare whatever she wants to, let’s see if she can put a sustained strategy together and act on it.
In Illinois, all tea party congressional wins from 2010 were reversed and we’re back, as the RAT leaders say, “to normal”.
She’s got a job ahead of her.
Well we still have the house. So one of the first agenda items needs to be to get a conservative to run for speaker and start getting support.
The Tea Party Patriots organization criticizing the GOP? What a laugh!
The TPP affiliates I’ve dealt with here in Ohio are nothing but shills FOR the GOP.
It’s the autonomous Tea Party groups who truly believe in Principle Over Party that will bring positive change to America.
So how many here are going to take an active role in this war for the GOP, and how many will just sit on the sidelines?
It wasn’t just Krauthammer, it was the whole Fox News panel, the night the sat and laughed and made fun of Newt Gingrich.
This Tea Party name has been corrupted. Get rid of it.
Good point, good suggestion.
The GOP primary process ensures that a RINO will get elected, because the more conservative figures will battle it out and split the vote, and the RINO will get a greater share of the overall vote.
The only way to avoid this is to have decided on only one or two conservative candidates by mutual arrangement to enter the race soe as not to cannibalize the vote.
The TPP affiliates I’ve dealt with here in Ohio are nothing but shills FOR the GOP.
***I really have trouble figuring out who’s who in the zoo. If what you say is true, then this would be evidence that the GOP does expect major internal warfare.
I saw the Texas Republican delegation goes to the RNC and says if they don’t reform, we will walk and take our 38 Electoral Votes with us.
It’s ridiculous that the one state that actually has a significant number of EVs, that reliably votes GOP, has no say in the nominee-—that has to change.
If the Tea Party is declaring War - I hope they'll ASK Paul Ryan to be the SPEAKER and Rand Paul to be the MINORITY LEADER.
Now, how about TEA PARTY in places such as CT, CA, CO, ME, NH and VT? Are those people HIDING -- or is the statewide meeting in the back of a VW Beetle?
Crappola,
Long as garbage like Rove are making money feeding us B.S. the parrty isn’t going to change.
Dole, McLame, Romney???
Who’s next, Jeb? Some other pussyfied rino, “ republican”?
Romney attacked conservatived during the primaries and distanced himself from evangelicals/conservatives/TEA Partiers as soon as he had sewn-up the nomination. Indeed, the absence of evangelicals/conservatives/TEA Partiers at the Republican convention stuck out like a sore thumb. Predictably, on the day after the election, non-support from evangelicals/conservatives/TEA Partiers was quickly trotted out to explain Romney’s loss.
I am an evangelical/conservative/TEA Partier, and I have held my nose and voted for each moderate du jour put forth by the GOP-e going back to Gerald Ford. As a gesture of appreciation, each time said moderate lost the finger was pointed at me as an inflexible evangelical/conservative/TEA Partier who refused to back the party’s choice (see above).
No more. From now on I’m working at the grass-roots level to ensure that candidates who share my values are elected. I may even have a go at our local RINO Congressman in 2014.
The GOP is dead to me.
To Jenny, and the rest of the Original 22:
Bush Senior, Dole, McCain, and Romney
All Big Tent RINOs, good and true,
Clueless about their BASE,
Constitution, Taxes and Spending too.
How many times is loss enough?
When should The Base say
Enough is ENOUGH?
Gadsdenville wants to know,
Will YOUR T.E.A. be enough?
“Repeal and Replace” said losers R and R.
Shunt to the PC sidetrack
Is an option to consider,
But a new Third Party
Better have a damn STRONG Leader!
To bifurcate the issues,
Preserves the Status Quo,
Makes the Dollar Focus muted,
And “hot” Social Issues glow.
The Democrats and RINOs
Seek the maximum chaos,
The more unsolvable the better,
Is fodder for the vote manipulator.
Can T.E.A. stand Dollar-True?
Will T.E.A. avoid the Social Side-Track?
To live within our means, be Blessed
Will put our Nation on the RIGHT Track!
Forget distractions the Dems and RINOs love,
Forget the knives The Media shoves.
Forget the re-distibution wagon there,
It has two flats, and there is no spare.
Leave behind the Keynesian Pump,
It ruined America from sea to sea.
Put all thought and effort to,
Individual Financial Liberty,
And a US Treasury without poverty.
We have no patience anymore.
Open is the Gadsdenville Barn Door,
We are on the loose,
Just why the Hell
Should we choose you ?!!!!!!!!!!
Flash forward to the third debate. Romney went into it thinking (in his mind, knowing) that he was way ahead. And yet, even after seeing Obama's performance in similar circumstances, Romney still thought he could coast to victory, and all he had to do was be "likeable" by not being too "mean" to Obama.
... “We wanted a fighter like Ronald Reagan who boldly championed America’s founding principles, who inspired millions of independents and ‘Reagan Democrats’ to join us, and who fought his leftist opponents on the idea that America, as founded, was a ‘Shining city upon a hill.’ Instead, Martin lamented, "what we got was a weak moderate candidate, hand-picked by the Beltway elites and country-club establishment wing of the Republican Party."
I may even have a go at our local RINO Congressman in 2014.
***Good for you. I’ll pray for you.
