Splitting the Tea Party is not true. The “true” Tea Party can not be split. The majority of Tea Party members are not on forums, they are not on GB, they are not at Republican meetings, they are not an organized entity. They are individuals that are sick and tired of BIG GOVERNMENT!
What’s wrong with having a “core” of supporters? I thought that is how people got elected in the first place.
Obviously it all depends on what the core is. I'm seeing Ron Paul people and libertarians who want to burn the place down if Medina loses the primary. They are screaming about Medina being "smeared" and a Neocon/RINO/Glenn Beck/Perry conspiracy. They want to make a primary into a civil war. If they don't win, they want to go third party so a Democrat wins. That is ideological suicide (if they aren't the Democrat plants I suspect many of them are).
