Forging alliances with RINO candidates is one of the things which got us into this mess to begin with.
So are you the Tea Party voter the writer is talking about? The guy who will stay at home and let the country sink rather than vote for his perfect candidate?
I hope not.
What critics don’t seem to understand about the Tea Parties is that the “party” designation is not political, but rather a reflection of anger and uprising, like the original Boston Tea Party.
Most of us don’t want another organized political party. We just want to throw the bums out and vote in some new faces who may — at least for a while — listen to us.
Therefore, as a voting block, the Tea Parties may prove a very strong force in changing Congress come September, working from outside the established political parties. A magnificently democratic thing to do.
Except for those idealogues who sit home and pout and call every GOP candidate who doesn’t agree with them 100% a “RINO.”
The local GOP in NJ CD-12 actually turned its back on the tea party candidate — Mike Halfacre — and went with the money man — Scott Sipprelle.
Unfortunately, that decision will cost them the election in November.
