But this endorsement seriously cut into the TPX’s credibility.
It was stupid and blatantly, obnoxiously, political.
Minnick responded like the Democrat he is.
We expect snakes to bite.
But why did the TPX piss on the Tea Party with an endorsement like that?

They have never answered this question. There were two more worthy candidates in the GOP primary. One of them is now Minnick’s opponent.

TPX may have thought they were bring cute and clever by endorsing a token Democrat, but they are toying with an election and real peoples’ lives.

Raul Labrador was born in Peurto Rico, and is a true Reagan conservative. TPX missed a great opportunity to endorse a great candidate. Instead they squandered it on a Nanzi Pelousy supporter, and part-time supporter of Big Government.

The race is tied, and a TPX endorsement muddied the waters.
A Labrador endorsement instead would have tipped this race towards him.
Instead, it helped an endangered Democrat cling on, and remain competitive.

What if Minnick squeaks by because of this?
What if the Republicans come up one vote short of taking the House?
What if the TPX endorsement allows Minnick to cast the tie-breaking vote that returns Nanzi Pelousy to Speaker of the House?

I can't believe anything you say as you spew your venom all over TPX and tea partiers in general and then push for your candidate.

I don't like the guy you are pushing, he must be horrible to have someone so smarmy as you are supporting him.

Lighten up and stop your whining.

“The race is tied, and a TPX endorsement muddied the waters.

This NEEDS to change. There’s time to change it. Who cares if the lame stream propagandists say TPX is not ‘bi-partisan.’ Who gives a RIP about the RAT socialists among us? I know I don’t!

This is important, but nationally, on a scale of 1 to 10 - this is about a 5. I sure hope they do something about it though.

Meantime, let’s go and support Raul:

You are right to keep on the Tea Party to fulfill their promise of conservative change. If the Tea Party becomes just another liberal establishment machine, it will die a quick death. I don't think it has been subverted but it does not hurt to voice your honest observations of the Tea Party's decisions.

Now that Minnick has stabbed the TP in the back, it would behoove the TP to confront the people who made the poor decision to support the snake. I'd like to know who did it and what roles they play in the TP. They wasted our money, effort and good will on that one. Mistakes can be made as long as they are recognized as mistakes and provide a lesson to those who screwed up and those who permitted them to screw up. Whatever they were thinking turned out to be stupid and needs to be avoided in the future. At the same time, we must keep errors in perspective of the overall success of the organization.

Rinos and greed subverted every conservative organization while we were being “good sports” and voting for the lessor evil. In the mean time we had few conservative ideas, agenda for reform nor candidates with a mission. Rinos were not at all concerned about us...they owned us.
