Anyone who votes third party and that includes libertarians throws their vote over to the rats. When are you going to wake up?

I agree with that sentiment. Well, until the TEA party (or whatever it gets called) completely separates from the GOPe, which is the only way this can end well, IMHO.

reality is there is no Tea Party

there is a Tea Party concept, an ideal, that is making some headway in some local congressional races but there is no organizational structure. There is no Tea Party fund raising effort, at least none that contacts me. There is no Tea Party national organization.

There is however the GOPc or conservative wing of the GOP. It has been and is very much alive and well. The Tea Party is a significant part of the GOPc. What is lacking is a charismatic individual that can make the various disparate conservative factions unite.

The GOPc must unite and go forward to tame the GOPe
