Tea Party groups say Tea Party of Nevada is a front for Reid

A few days ago Nevadas Secretary of State confirmed that the Tea Party of Nevada is now recognized as a third Party and is eligible to field candidates for the general election in November, which seems to have ruffle some Tea Party groups in other States, along with the Republicans in Nevada.
Some Tea Party groups are saying the Tea Party of Nevada is a front group for Senator Harry Reid.
Why?
Because the Tea Party of Nevada will be fielding their own candidate to run against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and any vote for a Tea Party candidate will be a vote lost by a Republican candidate.
Sarah Palin whose words were echoed by Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck the other day, said that the Tea Party will never be strong enough to become a third Party and that America has a two party system and the Tea Party needs to pick one.
Patriots for America, the Confederate Yankee and other populist groups that are faithful Tea Party tea baggers are saying that they never heard of the Tea Party of Nevada or its leader Barry Levinson before the States recognition of the Party.
An excerpt from one of the articles reads, However, there is significant concern in the grass-roots constitutional conservative movement in Nevada that this is a "false flag" operation - a group of liberals and Harry Reid supporters who are masquerading as constitutionally-conservative grass roots activists with the intent of splitting the movement and drawing electoral strength away from the real Tea Party and grass roots organizations.

Shyster lawyer fraud.
The rest of us DON’T deserve Dingy Harry. He must lose.
This is nothing new for Harry. It’s his M.O. He had the very partisan Democrat A.G., Catherine Cortez Masto, file bogus charges against Brian Krolicki, the popular Republican Lt. Gov. just two days after Krolicki announced he was contemplating a run vs. Reid in late ‘08.
The charges were recently thrown out by the judge in the case. Why? Well, it seems as though the A.G. had a bit of a conflict of interest. Krolicki, then state treasurer, went to the A.G.’s office seeking legal counsel for spending additional dollars for the state’s college tuition program. The A.G.’s office told him it was o.k., thus the conflict of interest.
The judge ruled that the A.G.’ office couldn’t prosecute the case against Krolicki because they were the very ones that had given him the green light to spend the funds (funds that were already allotted by the state legislature for the program btw). Thus, the A.G.’s office could be called to testify in the case they were prosecuting.
I personally would love to see Krolicki still run against ole Harry & use this as a battering ram against him, in addition to the “Tea Party” ruse. Nevada folks are wise to Harry’s game. Reid is going down, regardless.
It never made sense that a Tea Party organization would assure the election of Harry Reid.
Glad it's been exposed with TIME to fix the fix!
“faithful Tea Party tea baggers”
You know, this article had some credibility until this line. Now I don’t know what to think...
To beat RATs, one has to be one step ahead of the slime every minute. We’re smarter and have to organize as if we were at war.
Is there any way this guy or this phony party can be kept off the ballot?
"There should never ever be an officially registered Tea Party. Individuals of the Tea Party mindset should only contributed directly to candidates. Any officially registered Tea Party should be known to be tainted and avoided at all costs!"
I'm repeating you because this needs to be shouted from the rooftops! NO TEAPARTY PARTY, NO TEAPARTY CANDIDATES! Separate Parties and separate candidates are the expressway to another bunch of slippery, slimy socialists in office. This is what the Dems do, run a "hard right" Dem or Ind and draw votes from a real conservative candidate.
My version: It's easier and better for us to re-take the GOP than to go third party and take the nation vs the other two parties!
An interesting thing came out of Rush’s show today.
He talked about a candidate in Nevada named Barry Levinson who is running for the Senate under the Tea Party banner. It was discovered that Mr. Levinson has close ties to Harry Reid and is doing this as a way to divide the vote.
Time to blow the whistle on ‘Dingy Harry’s dirty trick!!!
Have any of you ever actually tried to “take over” a party? I don’t doubt that gains can be made under better conditions, but here in Illinois, Mark Kirk is the GOP pick, and trust me when I say he is as liberal as the day is long. He really is, for all intents and purposes, just another false flag Democrat who will be on the ballot in November as a Republican.
How did it come to this? It’s not because the People of Illinois are really all that liberal (other than the elite metro shock troops). It’s that vast armies of would-be conservative voters are locked into union jobs where your voting history can and will be used against you if it’s not solidly democratic. And it’s that the Republican “Combine” never gives the voters meaningful conservative choices (the state committee actually funnels money to liberal democrats truly sickening). And it’s that the system is so resistant to change that a bottom up approach, like the Precinct Committeeman “sneak attack” being used elsewhere won’t work here. We know. Weve tried.
Therefore, as a matter of realism, for us to get out from under, we have to do an end run on the two-party megalith. So strategically, please keep an open mind if someone here should bring on a third party or independent run against Mark Kirk. We are a state about to implode from the burden of unchecked liberal policy, and we need a solution that will work in nine months, because we can’t take six years of Kirk. God help us.
