Tea Party Party has toughened up. They (we) were shocked and awed by the virulient attack from media, race baiters and Dems accusing them of racisim, anti-americanism, hate for poor, immigrants (anyone who counts) etc.
But they high tailed it into the high grass, behind trees and hills, like Mel Gibson’s patriots, to apply more surgical strikes, especially to build grassroots support for TP thinkers to take on incumbent RINOs and demon rats.
Similar to how SwiftBoat Vets reacted to the unmerciful and dishonest attacks for just telling the truth. They valiantly stood by their ground and ultimately prevailed.
Adapt, Improvise, Overcome. We shall prevail
I was surprised by how many candidates running on the Dem side are openly campaigning against the Tea Party.
That does not appear to be a winning strategy in my view.
