Fake huh?

Yup.

There is NO NAME of anybody in the e-mail, no quotations, just opinions from the e-mail itself, the owner of the web site is kept secret, I was added to the e-mail list without asking to be on it, and their form cannot list where they got my permission, because they didn't. I bet you didn't sign up for it either, and they have your registration date in the middle of April the way everybody else's is.

This e-mail states that no one in the ENTIRE FIELD of announced candidates inspires hope in Tea Party folks:

From Mitt to Newt to TPaw to Ron Paul, there hasn't been anyone who's truly inspired the base and inspired hope.

Notice that the author couldn't even acknowledge the existence of Cain or Bachmann. The author then goes on the pretend that the only opposition to Perry would come from the left.

Now, you can say that this represents the (for all we know) one person who is the National Tea Party Alert organization, and therefore isn't fake. I maintain that between the secrecy of the site owners, and ham-handedness of its support for a single candidate who is not really associated with the Tea Party at all, and its attacks on all other candidates, that yes, it is a phony organization, eithert done by one man, or as a phony operation from another campaign.
