That's why I think the Tea Party will have to step up and organize as a bona fide political party and maybe in five/ten years a conservative could be elected President.
Back to your point, the Tea Party would have to make their case to all people from all walks of life. People like Boehner will never approach others below what he thinks is his “station” in life.
And, with that snake, Reince Priebus the National Chairman, he won't let a conservative do jack, including conservative delegates to the national convention - he cut them off at the knees, and wouldn't let the two words, Tea Party, be mentioned in front of the convention. As far as I am concerned, he can go pound dirt. He's already gotten a commitment from the majority that they will vote him again as national chairman. It's a freaking conspiracy against conservatives - where is my tin foil hat?
I had hopes for gains enough inside the Establishment Party to get a foot in the door. Out of the ashes of all that hope evaporated....yes, it’s time.
I have no hope with the new faces. I liked DeMint and his tiny coalition, but he is leaving at 2016 and his coalition is left doomed by the Boehner establishment.
I believe the conservatives have a better chance at necessary numbers in some kind of allignment with Libertarians, who enjoined with the Tea Party on our initial stand against fiscal corruption, banking and GM bailouts, and the corrupt Pelosi cram down of Obamacare, and the all round abuse of the Constitution. The Libertarians are rigid fiscal gorilla fighters on the fiscal issues and on the strict interpretation of the Constitution.
We conservatives love the Constitution, but for the parts we don’t like, as the narrow foreign war policy and procedures and monetary restraint rules. Ron Paul was spot on about the Constitution abuses going on from both sides of the aisle.
Thanks, Marcella.
