Correct. It’s another trap. ID the leaders and “lean” on them Chicago-style.
(Psst—don’t tell them we don’t have leaders) Some non-representative may try to ID themselves, maybe become a sock puppet. This may well prove entertaining. Exactly how does one check the credentials of a Tea Party “leader.”
Anytime the Left says something that sounds reasonable we can rest assured there is an ulterior motive, as you guys say. We also know the TEA PARTY is not a political party at all. Instead is a movement, a political uprising, and the name is a symbol for the uprising of the colonists.
The media, including some who are mildly conservative, don’t seem to understand that distinction. However, the media and the rest of the Left are trying to present it as a political party in hopes of it becoming one. That would split the conservatives and assure a win for the Democrats.
Challenging someone to speak for them is part of that effort.
