The tea parties were effective because they terrified the clowns in the DC clown car. They only did that because there was no leadership that could be isolated and marginalized.

Why change something that works.

I agree 100%. If there is a known leadership, then they can be coopted and corrupted. In my opinion, the movement is stronger as a disparate grassroots movement than it would be as a bureaucracy with centralized authority.

Let them call themselves something else and identify themselves as organizers of some of the more high-profile tea parties if they want to.

Exactly. I don’t know these people and I am not sure I like them meeting with Obama.
