Sorry, I didn't realize I was dealing with someone who needed things like that explained to him. My mistake. That would be by electing Tea Party backed Candidates who believe in those goals.

In other words, let somebody else do the thinking, and the Tea Party folks will just get mad at him if he does something they don't like. Yap yap yap.

A serious political movement might consider coming up with a platform and strategies of its own. But then, that requires organization, and the Tea Party movement is evidently opposed to being organized -- at least, that's what the ones around here tell me.

Yes they are thank God. Apparently they're also pretty good at knocking off RINO incumbents at the polls.

Taking advantage of pre-existing voter dismay in a primary is one thing. Actually getting elected is another. And being effective once elected.... well, marching around yelling slogans doesn't help much for that.

You mean like in the Primaries?

No, I mean like when somebody gets elected in the general (.... that's a big enough hurdle), and then has to actually get something done once they're sworn in. THAT is the hard part.

Actually that was more of a comment on your intellectual prowess or lack thereof. It looks like I'm really, really going to have to go into detail with you from now on.

I believe that's the way our Republic is supposed to operate. You might want to give that Google thingy a try and look up "Constitutional Republic". I'm sure you'll find it enlightening.

Yap yap yap.

Vote, vote, vote. Good bye Senator Murkowski, Senator Bennett, and Congressman Castle.

A serious political movement might consider coming up with a platform and strategies of its own.

Considering the Tea Parties have been on the streets for less than a year I'd say they're doing pretty damned well. But I'm sure that if they had the benefit of your vast expertise, body of knowledge, and obvious wealth of experience they'd be much farther along.

Tell me please; have you ever considered dragging your ass from behind your keyboard and offering to lend a hand? Why I'm sure if you got involved you could offer detailed White Papers, Position Papers, and a step by step road map to Electoral victory in just a few weeks.

That'd be really peachy of you.

I'm sure that Senator DeMint would be chomping at the bit to hire someone of your caliber. Why don't you toss a resume his way?
