"Its mantra is this: take the precinct, take the state, take the party"

This is what I've been saying for almost a year now.

Patriotic, honest, wonderful people, freedom and democracy lovers, are trying to take over the Republican Party Apparatus.

Like of like how the communists seized the democrat party.

“The Tea Party movement ignited a year ago, fueled by anti-establishment anger.”

Uh...no. How about “anti-socialist/Marxist/Communist/statist anger”?

Not specifically a N.J. issue, but many of you have advocated this exact approach for New Jersey....

Sounds awesome to me.

A party within a party.

Great idea. I have been saying that for a very long time.

"Its mantra is this: take the precinct, take the state, take the party"

I agree with this tactic, and it's the only way to take back the GOP. It's going to have to involve a long march through the party machinery.

“Not all Republicans agree. Some say the party needs to broaden its reach, not cater to the fringe.”

They just don’t get it, do they?

Coakley should stress how much she wants to raise everyone’s taxes again....

Across the country, they are signing up to be Republican precinct leaders, a position so low-level that it often remains vacant, but which comes with the ability to vote for the party executives who endorse candidates, approve platforms and decide where the party spends money.

As the article states, most Republican precinct positions are vacant, and can be had by simply showing up and putting your name in. They are often vacant because they are unpaid, and they don't come with the kind of power that would interest the lawyer-types who infest the other elected offices.

[I still care]

From the “ground up”?

You mean the tea party IS a grassroots movement?

Silly me. I thought it was a conspiracy by power hungry evil Republican elite hiring and mobilizing deluded fools.

Love it! And can you believe, even the NY Slimes have reported something correctly...well, as far as I read it, I didn’t actually go to the link. Hope this comes about and we get real conservatives in every race.
