Since when are ‘tea parties’ organized this way?
I thought it was a spontaneous effort...
I smell something here

Excellent - a new day dawning.
This is precisely why the TEA movement is so inspirational; it is a coming together of millions of people sharing a few vital principles, but not walking in lock-step on every issue.

We stand for principles and ideas, not for politicians or parties, Vacuous nonsense.
Ideas and principles don't stand in a vacum. They have to be translated into practical uses of benefit to voters. McCain has actively campiagned for, and voted against Tea Party principles, having voted against the Bush tax cuts, voted for TARP and bailouts campaigned to give Geneva concention rights to terrorist vermin, and spearheaded ammnesty for illegals. The sucker is the most anti-Tea Party principles candidate I have ever seen in the Republican Party.
And who are these “leaders” anyways? The Tea Party is a mass movement that does not take any orders from no “leaders”. Not to mention, polls have consistently shown over 70% of Tea Partiers in Arizona backing JD. What these “leaders” have to say, is irrelevant.

IMHO This is to help Palin save face. (How would it make her look if they came out against RINO boy?)
So they better do this in all other primaries as well.

SHOUT IT OVER AND OVER...
The Tea Party is a non-partisan, grassroots movement that stands for limited government, free markets, and fiscal responsibility.
...Don’t let the socialist give the Tea Party a bad name.

“The Tea Party is a non-partisan, grassroots movement that stands for limited government, free markets, and fiscal responsibility. Both McCain and Hayworths records during their many years in Washington leave much to be desired on these issues”
Yeah, hard decision between Hayworth, with a lifetime ACU score of 97.56% conservative, and McQueeg’s 63% in 2008 (don’t know how McQueeg ranked in 2009).
The Arizona Senate race is a no-brainer if you’re a conservative. If the Tea Parties can’t read the tea leaves in a race like this, I don’t have much confidence in them.

Ok.
The Tea Party is a non-partisan, grassroots movement that stands for limited government, free markets, and fiscal responsibility. Both McCain and Hayworths records during their many years in Washington leave much to be desired on these issues, said Robert Mayer, co-founder of the Tucson Tea Party. It is their job to hold themselves up to these values and fight for our votes.
This is fine. J.D. is better then McCain but he wasn't perfect so if they want to hold to this view ok..
Not okay is the nonsense about not supporting candidates. Please. These groups have gone out of their way to work on behalf of candidates and in some cases like in Illinois their infighting led to liberals winning the primaries. All I read here are people too gutless to make a decision; more interested in maintaning their popularity then accomplishing an actual difference in a seat.
I'm not saying support J.D. I am saying make a decision. Support him. Don't support him. Take a stand. If you want to have him earn your support given his past make it clear if a candidate does so you'll work on their behalf. But don't do this free floating vote for whomever floats your boat nonsense. You've effectively taken yourself out of influence in that event.

I thought tea parties were “set up” to get rid of RINOs and get some real conservatives. So another words they are not going to endorse Florida Senate Race? Crist vs. Rubio. Something doesn’t seem right.
To: mdittmar
BAD!
By failing to get behind a single candidate in the primary, they have set the stage to split the coservative vote among multiple conservative candidates. What does that mean? It means the RINO gets the nomination (see the 2008 Republican presidential primary for a perfect example of what happens when conservatives split their vote).
Yes, the Tea Party has no official leadership. But each of these groups should make it clear that while not speaking for the Tea Party movement as a whole, they do speak for the members of THEIR specific group.

http://www.gilacourier.com/?p=5647 For everyone above who understands why it was important to protest McCain, thank you so much!!! Steve, as Thumper said, I did change the location of the protest when so many people who I respect thoughtfully expressed their dissatisfaction for location. However, most of those also told me they were also against McCain, so it will be interesting to see their future actions next time McCain rolls into town! And I couldnt disagree with you more about this not being a campaign opportunity. It was a very important campaign stop for McCain!!!!! Honest Anna, while I respect your opinion, I also couldnt disagree with you more. I did spend my time wisely. In fact, those who took the time to stand by my side on a street corner sent a statewide message louder than any house party ever could!! Now Im aiding an opponent? Really, hows that? In fact, if you think that regular tactics will be able to compete with the $5 million dollars that McCain has or the hold that he has established with the GOP, you are delusional and not wanting to see the truth. It will take every one of us who know the truth about McCains liberal voting record rolling up our sleeves, working hard, protesting him, uniting, and showing our strength in numbers to defeat him. And lastly, Roy. Thumper and Peter described exactly how it did occur. First you promote my event with an email, which I will post below this reply. You falsely named the organizer of the event as the Arizona Tea Party. It was I, Jill Henderson, who organized the event, no one else. Then you said it was an open border and amnesty protest. Again, you were wrong. Never did I give you permission to slander my event in that way. So you promote it first, and then you show up to protest my protest???? What? And you got a few individuals to follow you to the Manning House because of more lies. Jeez, good job Roy. Next time, why dont you hold your own protest instead of twisting lies and hijacking mine? And lastly, you say The mainstream Republicans have got to learn the ugly truth about McCain: Hes finished. If they nominate him for Senator well get another socialist in the fall, just like we got Obama. That is EXACTLY why many of us protested Friday. WE made that point, not you. Hijacking other peoples ideas and trying to discredit the tea party movement makes no sense in my opinion. Roys email sent out to supposedly 1,500 people: ARIZONA TEA PARTY PROTESTS SENATOR JOHN McCAIN.doc From: Roy Warden (roywarden@cox.net) Sent: Wed 2/17/10 6:53 PM To: MARK GOLDSTONE (chairman@arizonataxrevolt.org) Attachments: 1 attachment image001.jpg (9.1 KB) ARIZONA TEA PARTY PROTESTS SENATOR JOHN McCAIN McCain Support of Amnesty, Open Border Policy Challenged Event: PROTEST JOHN McCAIN Place: Corner of Granada and Congress Address: 407 W. Congress Street, Tucson AZ. (Tab for Map) Date: Friday February 19, 2010 Time: 5:00-7:00 pm. This Friday, in front of Senator John McCains Tucson office, the Arizona Tea Party will host a rally for Americans concerned with Arizona Open Border Policy and Senator McCains support for Amnesty. Most Americans are still confused as to why, as a Republican, Senator McCain supports Amnesty, said Tucson Activist Roy Warden. Americans still dont understand that thirty years ago members of the Arizona Republican Party first began the Industrial Strength importation of cheap Mexican labor to fuel Arizonas construction industry.

GOOD? Go read those comments again from these four do-nothings.
These knotheads better take a stand. this is the same lame middle of the road crap that has lead to the status quo.
Can they really tell me that Hayworth isn't better than McCain?
My cat is better than McCain!

JD Hayworth is having trouble finding support.
Did you see JD on Bill O’Reilly last Friday? He was backtracking on his past pro-Birther statements. He said he was merely promoting thoughtful when demanding to see Obama’s birth certificate.
