When the tea party backs good candidates, they are the best America has to offer.
Unfortunately, the tea party backs people only with a certain ideology, some are good and some are bad.
Christine O’Donnell- you would not want her to run a kids lemonade stand or rent your spare bedroom.
Sharon Angle- not a bad person, but against Harry Reid, you want to send up a professional like Sue Lowden, not an amateur.
The no name idiot in NY-23- It amazes me that he has a wife because as a deaf mute, he could not ask her to marry him. But I guess he could have written the proposal on a piece of paper.
Todd Akin- snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and a loss in MO when almost anyone could have beat the crook McCaskill.
Tea party is wonderful, but the first litmus test must be competence above ideology.
In regards to the Missouri GOP Senate primary, wasn’t the TEA Party supporting Sarah Steelman, Missouri’s former state treasurer? I remember seeing images here on Free Republic of Sarah Palin campaigning with, and on behalf of, Sarah Steelman, not Todd Akin.
