“You’ve got to be kidding? Within 2 years, the Tea Party went and forced Arlen Specter out, voted Bob Bennett in Utah out, got Toomey, Rand Paul, Mike Lee and others elected to the US Senate. The GOP is about 1/3 Tea Party in the US House.”
Wait and see how they will be subverted and neutralized. I sincerely hope that is not the case but I doubt it will be the otherwise.

But whoever suggested that the Tea Party would let it go at that? We should be very publicly making preliminary plans "peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" now.We must put the part of the GOP which doesn't want to get the word on notice. And I would think that there will be at least one candidate for the Republican presidential nomination ready and willing to lead that movement. Probably Governor Palin, IMHO.
