A replacement party for the Republicans must begin somewhere. Although it may be many election cycles before the Tea Party (or whatever it eventually becomes) is successful, it's about time it's begun!

The only problem is, it's probably too late to reverse the marxist course the tyrants in D.C. have set.

It's a smart move. CPAC is no threat to GOP. But the Tea Party could actually become a third party, like Perot, and splinter the conservatives, like Perot did in 92.

Palin is making sure that the Tea Party stays with her -- and therefore, within the GOP.
