“The Tea Party is a non-partisan, grassroots movement that stands for limited government, free markets, and fiscal responsibility. Both McCain and Hayworth’s 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.
There is a reason for this,Can’t See the Forest for the Trees?
