I kind of like the Tea Party concept which I don’t really view as a party, but as a conglomeration of individuals with similar conservative ideas that nonetheless coalesce as though they were an actual organization. But for the Tea Party Patriots and such that reflect professional lobbying groups, I like to say that “I’m a Tea Party advocate”, rather than claiming its membership.

Yep, the TP needs to continue to do what it’s doing, elect like minded republicans, get a majority, and kick out the GOPe from the “leadership”.

I like your perspective. It's healthy.
