A party within a larger party - is that not called a “faction”?
At the moment, what is called the T.E.A. “party” is actually a loose coalition of somewhat unorganized but like-minded individuals, who have not yet fully articulated their encompassing vision or constructed strategies for asserting their energies and accumulated wisdom. So the “establishment” Republican faction, the guys with the money and who hire the “consultants” have a disproportionate say in what, if any, goals and objectives of the Republican party are or ought to be. Right now, the money people still seem to believe the Republicans and the Democrats are almost interchangeable.
But the Democrats are no longer just a loose coalition. They have been running an endless rally and internal campaign to keep their various parts tied to the same faction, a faction which more and more is being directed AGAINST the best interests of the United States as a nation of exceptional achievement and leadership. Their political discipline is astonishing, given the craven quality of most of their individual members, and their almost complete lack of moral principle. This internal discipline gave us the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and as their crowning achievement, Barack Hussein Obama, which if viewed objectively. is about as “in-your-face” as they could put together, short of an armed insurrection. Election-rigging, endless challenges to established custom, almost outrageous demands for even more and more radical social and economic experimentation, using fake “science” to support these claims, and ridicule as an intimidation tactic.
The National Socialist German Worker Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) would envy the relative success of what the Democrat party of the United States has become.
The key is to focus on keep eliminating RINO’s in the primaries. Voting for a RINO is no choice at all...
The illusion is pretty powerful that they're not as small as they actually are, and that we don't outnumber them in spades. Once that illusion is shattered ...
A faction that will need all of the tools of an actual party to itself, and even their own ballot spots should they be needed.
