Tea Party Express Makes Major Push at CPAC

 By Online  Thursday, February 18, 2010

The Tea Party Express is pleased to announce an ambitious effort around this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) including a Tea Party Express rally on Friday evening that will include special guests such as Congressman Tom Price and conservative radio talk show host, Kevin McCullough of BMX Radio.  Currently the Tea Party Express is the only ‘tea party’ group to hold an event of this type at CPAC.

  Where: Marriott Wardman Hotel Atrium
  When: Friday 5:30pm – 7:30pm
  What: Food, drinks, entertainment...

In addition the Tea Party Express is launching a national television ad campaign promoting the upcoming “Tea Party Express: Just Vote Them Out” campaign which will kick off with a massive rally featuring Gov. Sarah Palin in Senator Reid’s hometown.

(The bolding in the article is mine)

Here, in my own words, is some more information from the article.

As well as the entertainment and refreshments the TPX will give away a FREE trip for two to the Tea Pary Express III “Mega Rally” in Searchlight, NV, where Sarah Palin will be the main speaker!

This site has quite invasive “cursor grabbing” irritations but has to be excerpted.

“Just Vote Them Out” would include people like Michelle Bachman as a target.

Blanket vote everyone out campaigns are not effective in moving politicians to the right, because it doesn’t reward politicians for being conservative. It punishes everyone, the good conservatives and bad progressives.

Mating Dance Begins Between Tea Partiers, Traditional CPAC Stars

FOXNews.com

Thursday's premiere conference of big-name Republicans and conservative activists will include a new group of attendees separate from the Washington establishment yet equally frustrated with the party in power: Tea Partiers.

*snip*

Unlike CPAC's traditional attendees, Tea Party members consider themselves separate from inside-the-beltway politics...

*snip*

the bulk of tea partiers appears to trend conservative and they insist they don't want to become their own political party.

Their success has pushed Republicans to adopt their approach.

*snip*

The "Tea Party Express" is expected to barnstorm from state to state on a national tour, beginning March 27 and ending April 15, to host a series of rallies in dozens of U.S. cities.

they should stay away from GOProud and the pro-Islam Grover Norquist

[Syncro]

No.

The slogan “Just Vote Them Out” does not include voting out all incumbents.

That's another faction altogether.

This org supports good conservative incumbents.

Don't read into the slogan a message that isn't part of the TPX mission.

Thanks

I think even the most anti-incumbent among us can draw that distinction. Bachmann is a heroine to the partiers.

"The slogan “Just Vote Them Out” does not include voting out all incumbents."


Good. Ideology and past records are more important than the mere fact of incumbency.

[Syncro]

True, I was responding to those that misunderstood the message.

Bachmann rocks big time!

[ishabibble]

Michelle Malkin has something interesting to say about the “old timers” of CPAC. I'm definitely looking at this with a jaundiced eye now.

[Syncro]

Which ones?

I don’t feel like reading that long article

I have heard some chatter that Malkin is negative about CPAC

Is that true?

[LibLieSlayer]

There is little CONSERVATIVE about cpac these days... beyond the rhetoric and lies while liberals play at being CONSERVATIVE.

LLS

[Syncro]

I wouldn't attend if I were you.

[LibLieSlayer]

If there were any reason for me to go... I would go... but I do not go where I am so obviously not wanted. cpac is a joke... the fact Palin is not there is of striking note. Is lindsay grahamnesty there? Did romney call him a fellow Conservative?

LLS

[Syncro]

: > )

Thanks for the bump!

[LibLieSlayer]

Sure... my problem is not with you or the Tea Party. Heck... the Tea Party rocks.

It has occurred to me that some of the people in the Tea Party Movement are people who have NEVER devoted one dollar or one minute of time to get involved in their local GOP to help good conservatives get on the ballot and win. While some of us are out working in my state to get nominating petitions signed to get candidates on the ballot, others are content to beat their chest and scream “throw the bums out”, often without knowing anything about the candidates.

Now, notice I said “some” Tea Partiers (my wife and I have attended TEA Parties too). Most have sense enough to know that you need to work within the framework that is already set up.

[supremedoctrine]

My thoughts exactly when I saw the highly dissonant name of Grover Norquist on that list. (Although lots of the other names I didn’t recognize at all.)
