The “Tea Party Express” endorsed him. Not the Tea Party. The Tea Party is a grassroots movement of concerned Americans. The “Tea Party Express” is a top down organized Political Action Committee, (PAC.) The TPE is basically run by the Republican Party but is trying to open the tent a little to attract dissaffected dems. That’s why they decided they had to endorse a few blue dog rats. They are looking for the most conservative dems so they don’t look like they are nothing but a Republican front. (In reality, they are nothing more than a Republican front.)
This deal reeks.
*Somebody’s* playing Bait n’ Switch or some other suckerbait da** game, and I’m afraid TPE just went on my “Fool Me Once, Shame On You....” list until I hear some EXTREMELY convincing reasons to take them off.
If a lifelong friend was running unopposed for Dogcatcher and even called himself a ‘rat in fun, I’d write in the name of the sorriest egg-sucking mutt dog I could think of.
Screw them ALL.
