The party grandees and the Romniacs have attacked both her and the “tea party” conservatives viciously from the start.

Back when we were in a tough fight trying to stop Obama’s steamroller, during the first year or so of his administration, it was Palin and the “tea party” who stood up and fought while the party establishment was in disarray and Romney himself no where to be found. I said a hundred times during that period that Romney was AWOL during the fight of the century and therefore had no right to be president. A leader leads, and he was no leader. Palin, on the other hand, even with no official position, leads.

The “tea party” is the GOP rank and file. When the supposed elites and the Romniacs attack the tea party they are attacking the membership of their own party. They want our votes. Its us they don’t like.

I agree with others, that if in the aftermath of this election a new party forms it will be around Palin and a few like-minded people. If Romney loses to O, you will see an uprising among the rank and file that makes the tea party uprising look like a tea party. And if he wins and squanders his chance to roll back Obamism, the party will break.

I can't agree more..

No, The TEA Party is the voice of many people.. and in no way/shape/form do they have ANYTHING to do with the GOP(e).. The TEA Party (which actually has some DEM/LIB/IND/REP mix) is the voice of the public that has not been involved in politics for so long because MOST people didn't understand what was involved (thank God for Internet now).


Because (Thank you Barry) of this past election.. MANY people are waking up.. Many Dems are changing to Repub (not that Repub (GOP(e)) is any better... BUT, this situation that Barry has put us in, has woken up MANY people. People, that before now would only vote 'their' ticket. It is a small step for many... but it is the step that was needed.

NOW, we need to show people what Conservatism really means.. We need to show them the meaning of what the original founders meant when they wrote the Constitution of the United States of America. What they meant when they wrote the Declaration of Independence.. What the Bill of Rights actually means.
We have a long way to go, but hopefully, we can 'assist' them in learning the true meaning.

(AND, it has NOTHING to do with a 'living' document'...)
