Tea Party to be out foxed by GOP elites
Examiner ^ | Nov. 13, 2010 | Martha

As newly elected Tea Party members arrive in the domain of the Political Elites in Washington, are they prepared to be "handled" so that the Old Guard retains power? Will they be thrown a bone now and then, here and there, to placate them or will they remember why they were elected and fight back?

Back on April 15, 2010, Tea Party supporters gathered in Washington when they produced the "Contract for America" that was based on the principals of individual liberty, limited government, and economic freedom.

The TPM brought the GOP the majority in the house and now they are going to bite the hand that fed them?

Not a politically savvy move IMO.

-—...or will they remember why they were elected and fight back?-—

They will fight back. They will fight back because we won’t allow them to do otherwise.

We want our country back. Period.

The GOP Elites are "elite" because they know how to make money out of being politicians. They know when to "play ball" with the Dems, in exchange for getting their earmarks put in Dem bills. They know how to cash in on supporters desire for earmarks.

Being able to make money out of the game, enables them to stay in the game LONG after the idealists get tired.

Politics is corrupt. It has always had an element of corruption, and always WILL have an element of corruption. This is why the amount of money subject to politics should always be reduced.

Your analysis is sadly but exactly on target. What hurts is that people won’t vote for someone without name ID.

Col. West and Marco Rubio won’t be played for fools by a group of Ruling Class RINOs.

Vote to give the perks back to the Dems if the Old Guard won’t stick with the issues.

Hey GOP. The TEA Party Republicans report back to THE PRECINCTS from which they originated, where other TEA Party people man the precinct.

The movement is UP from the precinct level.

GOT THAT YET?

I hate to invite another of these circular third party discussions but let me say

The THREAT of removing our support from the GOP is an IMPORTANT and powerful weapon. We should not give it up. Actually pulling the trigger and starting one would be an admission of failure but if it gets that bad, who cares?

Ultimately, the strength and effectiveness of any threat springs from the willingness to make good on it.
If the elitists (from both parties) succeed in quashing the TPM legislators-elect, then splitting off to a new party becomes not only viable, but preferable.

It wasn’t on overnight trip to get this far down the socialist, libtard path. And, it won’t be an overnight trip back from the abyss.

Let’s get started.
