In succession, the people who make up this mythical thing called the “Tea Party,” have supported Ross Perot, Alan Keyes, Pat Buchanan, Alan Keyes again, assorted minor figures like Duncan Hunter, Fred Thompson, Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, Herman Cain, more assorted minor figures with thin resumes like Michele Bachmann, and now the most unlikely person of all, Newt Gingrich. Somebody please tell me why I should trust the judgement of the so-called real conservatives who make up the Tea Party?

You should trust the Tea Party because your post demonsted your almost complete lack of anything but a most superfical, media generated understanding of the resumes of the people you listed

Stop letting the the junk media tell you what to think

The candidates you mention - pre-date the TEA party’s organizing. The TEA party has been promoting and supporting candidates whose platforms were/are compatible with TP principles- AFTER they announce their candidacy.

There is no TEA PARTY central organizaton - its members are the leadership.

The 2010 congressional elections were the first national test of TP activism. The Presidential 2012 election will also be the first opportunity for TP participation.

Yeah... you are right... trusting and voting for party line republicans has worked so well for us in the past. Why change now! Maybe we can find another gerald ford or bob dole!
