“The entity against which this warning is sounded, the one that the Tea Partiers fear will subvert the purity and autonomy of their movement, is the Republican Party.”

The GOP should NOT be allowed to subvert the Tea Party.

The TEA PARTY should infiltrate and subvert the GOP.

Take, for example, the new "Tea Party Party" that has been registered in Florida by an Orlando attorney named Fred O'Neal. The essential idea behind this new Third Party is to recruit fiscally conservative candidates to run against both Democrats and Republicans in elections. Based upon past discussions I've had with other folks who are pushing for the creation of a "Tea Party Party," this will be the case even when the Republican in the race is a solid conservative.

This is a monumentally poor idea, one which is practically guaranteed to allow liberal Democrats to stay in power so that they can continue to advance their radical agenda.

Yep.

Also in the race is Joe Kennedy, a Libertarian who is also running as the "Tea Party Candidate." Wonderful. Though he is only currently polling about 1%, in a special election race in which general turnout will be low, every single vote counts that much more. Brown needs every anti-statist vote he can get to even have a shot at winning this. Yet, we have a "Tea Party Candidate" in the race who is no better on these important issues than the Republican. When it comes to Porkulus or Obamacare, Kennedy is basically a clone of Brown. A clone who could steal enough votes away to hand the race to Coakley. A clone who could end up subverting his own ideological position by running in this race, handing the Democrats back their filibuster-proof majority and their license to spend your and my (and his) hard-earned money.

Glad the author brought this up, I've been warning about Kennedy for a while. He is correct except, Kennedy is far worse than Brown. Kennedy is a life long Democrat, pro-choice, code pinko, who agrees with the Dems on most of the issues but is playing the 'tea party' candidate game by claiming he just doesn't want the federal government to pay for it. IMHO, he is a dem trying to split the Conservative vote.

Spot on!!!
look no further than the Kennedy who is running in Mass.’ special Senate election for a prime example.

Liberals are in the business of stealing everything drom us....do NOT let them get their filthy hands on this...

Agreed, the Tea Party should never allow the GOP to take control.... In the beginning, many in the GOP didn't want to be associated with people in the Tea Party. So why now? As we all know, people are fed up with feckless, inept, politicians who have had one agenda, self-preservation at the cost of destroying our republic.

GOP “leadership” is one of the prime reasons the tea parties started!

[mdittmar]

One doesn't have to be one of these slicked-back, bonded-toothed Washington-insider politicos to have the savvy to realize that splitting conservative votes between two different Parties is a recipe for electoral and ideological suicide. Conservatives need to unite — to support conservatives in Republican primaries, to oust RINOs from positions of leadership, to advance the conservative principles that we all hold dear.

Long article just to get to the point.

This writer who is a chemist by trade should stick to making glue. He doesn’t have a clue.

We have have tried the RINO way since Reagan and look where it’s gotten us.

I’ll hitch my wagon to the conservative Tea Party Movement.
And fear not, The Tea Party Movement will pick up a lot of Reagan Democrats and independents along the way.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Ping!

[originalbuckeye]

We must also not let the Dems infiltrate and direct the Tea Party movement. I suspect this is part of what is happening, too.

Here is a suggestion, race will not be an issue and niether will love of country and his conservative values!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP2p91dvm6Ms

I have seen first hand at various Tea Party events and have heard the same from others in different states.

The anti war Ron Paul loons have high jacked the Tea Party group.

Many Conservative Republicans won’t return especially seeing the Ron Paul loons handing out 9/11 Truther papers
to see a Truther movie.

There are two groups who would like to see an independent Tea Party. One is the DNC, because it would split the conservative vote and give them a permanent majority. The second is the GOP leadership, because they would finally be rid of the conservatives who keep spoiling their party.

Sure, the GOP leadership would like to win, but if winning means having to pretend to be conservative, they’d rather be McCain, they’d rather be the graciously loyal opposition, forever reaching across the aisle to magnanimously help the majority Dems enact their only-slightly-watered-down agenda, year after year into perpetuity.

The writer is right. The Tea Partiers need to seize control of the precinct where they live. Did you get a crowd at your Tea Party shindig? Thats who needs to show up at the precinct meeting, just about that rowdy and ready to rumble. Its your party, and you know what you need to do.

We need a new GOP leadership in the worst way. We need principled leadership, and that principled leadership has to come from us. We’re the party, not them, not the Steeles, the McCains, the Grahams, the guys who keep embarrassing themselves and selling us out year after freaking year.

Its time for them to go. Its going to be rough for a while. But they’ve got to go.
