TEA PARTY EXPRESS TO RELEASE NATIONAL ENDORSEMENT LIST
THREE PART RELEASE BEGINS WITH WESTERN U.S. ON
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23RD
The Tea Party Express (website: http://www.TeaPartyExpress.org) will be releasing a comprehensive, national list of endorsed candidates for U.S. Congress and U.S. Senate. The endorsement list will be released in three parts, with the release of the endorsements of candidates in the Western U.S. taking place on Saturday, October 23rd.
The endorsement list will also be posted to the Tea Party Express website located at: http://www.TeaPartyExpress.org
"We will be activating our 400,000+ supporters nationwide to work on behalf of these endorsed candidates in the final days of the 2010 election campaign," said Amy Kremer, Chairman of the Tea Party Express.
"We will also be making significant expenditures of funds in key targeted races across the country.
"This last-minute blitz will replicate similar strategies we've used to win several dynamic primary victories. And to those who are wondering which races those funds will go to, we'll keep you guessing, as we don't want to tip off the opponents of our endorsed candidates," Kremer concluded.
Free and Strong America PAC has also endorsed Mr. Labrador.
The “Democrat” next to his name is all the vetting you need to know that he will sell you out at the first oppty. Including his vote for Pelosi for speaker.

Mebbe in the past, there may have been some doubts about where Ds stood, especially in the South. But those days are long gone. I agree with you!
Well it’s about time!
TPX corrected a longstanding injustice.
Of course, anyone who looked at the D by Minnick’s name and his vote for Nanzi Pelousy for Speaker already knew where his loyalty lie.
But TPX has done the right thing and so are now back in good graces.
The good news: I voted early last week way up north, and the turnout for early voting was record high; angry, determined, conservative-looking voters, by the truck loads.
I’ve read that Raul Labrador has made gains recently. I hope he’s able to win this race. Walt Minnick represents a district which gave 62% to John McCain.
Boise?
Boise?
Boise, and other cities, have lots of Democrats, but not nearly enough to pull off a state-wide or district-wide win, without the help of gullible, abjectly stupid people in every zip code. Democrats do control all the bureacracies, and have been very successful at shutting off all the mining, timber, and manufacturing, and brought in those lovely wolves to kill off the ranching and hunting.
You name it, and you can find fruitcakes that will buy it in Idaho -- Ron Paul BS, third party BS, Alex Jones BS, Rense BS, rapture BS, creationist BS, UFO BS, organic plastics BS -- you could even sell BS as a dietary supplement up here (with a meth chaser).
Without the homeschoolers, Mississippi and Arkansas would be laughing their butts off at Idaho. So far, the homeschooling laws, or lack thereof, are one of the saving graces of the whole state, people wise. Otherwise, the state has abundant resources with which to rebuild after the commies self-destruct.
It was a rather transparent attempt to pander to the very well-known sentiment against healthcare reform hereabouts and to attempt to seize that ground for ol' Walt. There were quite a few of them in the wastebasket in the post office when I threw mine in. Walt has a lot of money and a lot of people working for him who figure they're smart and we're stupid. This one was worth a snicker, but that's about it.
The October surprise is showing up in little pieces this year, I wonder what the big one will be. I guess we will know in a few days.
Excuse me?
I commended TPX on righting this historic wrong.
And if it wasn’t for so many true Tea Party conservatives like myself criticizing the foolish Minnick endorsement to begin with, this correction would never have happened.
So perhaps you should apologize to me and everyone else for your abuse behavior in this thread and all the others where you insulted us for criticizing the wrongheaded Minnick endorsement. And the TPX apparently agrees with us now, afterall, too. So you owe us all an apology.
You and any other keyboard kowboys tapping away on your computers from the comfort of your homes had nothing to do with the decisions.
Politics is fluid, and TPX is on the leading edge of vetting the changes that occur and reacting.
I'm considering accepting your apology in advance, but I think I will wait to see if it is sincere.
Sorry you got your feelings hurt, but I respond to the foolishness you have been posting about this one issue in my own unique fashion.
Don't read my posts if it gets you all verklempt.
It was clear where Minnick stood when they endorsed him. They were being stupid.
Minnick did us a favor and rejected their support.
Hate to say it, but counterpunch was right. TPX’s earlier endorsement of Minnick seemed to be based on a combination of two factors:
1) The fact that Tea Party groups aren’t necessarily as politically “savvy” as people who’ve been in the game longer are, and hence, they tend to be suckers for the “Aw, shucks, I’m jes’ a good ol’ boy Blue Dog who is jes’ as conservative as any of them stinky ol’ Republicans” line, and
2) They wanted to try to give off an air of non-partisanship by finding a token Democrat to support. He since turned around and bit them in the behind. Their original reason was likely most likely so that they could continue to perpetuate the fiction that the Tea Parties are “true independent” groups, instead of being part of the overarching aegis of conservative activism that is centred upon, though certainly not restricted to, the Republican Party.
Dumb, rookie move on TPX’s part that has, fortunately, been corrected.
