Yes, and it needs to be sharply focused on economics, budget and spending. Aiken types will just screw it up. Then it needs to focus on getting about 40 or 50 seats. The number can vary, but it must be sufficient to prevent dems OR repubs from ever having 218 seats.
Then the GOP will be forced to deal with them as a block. Make it where they cannot pass a dogcatcher bill without coming to the TEA coalition. Then we ALWAYS have a demand ready in return for playing ball. If they balk, join the dems for a few votes as a disciplined caucus.
The presidency can come much later.
God and social issues ate vital...VITAL to our Republic. What you are offering up for the Tea Party is exactly what Romney campaigned on AND IT DIDN’T WORK. The women put obama over the top because of the War on women crap. We have got to stop running from the abortion issue... IT IS A WINNER ! With the population and with God...people just need to be educated on the subject.... most are very ignorant of it.
