Everything that we wanted and worked for at FR and in the Network is being fulfilled in the Tea Party movement. For that I more happy than you know. I do harbor concerns that this movement may go astray, get hijacked or dissolve in petty bickering and rivalries. Don’t misconstrue positive criticism for disdain or a desire to see it fail.

What is going on with the TP right now was experienced in a very small microcosm at the Network. I saw how the bickering, petty rivalries and possibly a lack of leadership, vision and commitment from areas at the top helped it dissassemble.

I don’t want to see it happen again. The TP movement is the best chance we have to establish a conservative ascendancy in this country. But there a hundred ways it might fail and the leaders need to be cognizant of them all. I can see some of it happening right now but I am confident as a movement it will have the resilience to succeed.
