I agree, the connotations of a “nationalist” party are nothing but trouble and it won’t matter one bit if they’re real or imagined.
I’d rather be known as a constitutionalist.
Agreed. As for a real leader, Sarah. Or one or more of the tea party elected people in office. The beauty of the tea parties that I’ve attended IS the independent thought. I am wary and suspicious of any group that claims the mantle of a national Tea Party, including Tea Party Express and the others.
Sarah again was correct on this part, we have to change the Republican Party and that is going to require a good deal of housekeeping from within. With names like Cruz, Scott, Rand Paul, we’ve shown it can be done.
I’d like to get a concentrated effort to get Allen West re-elected. He was robbed. And I want at least two dozen more like him. The ones in Congress holding the line and continuing to be a bee in the bonnet of the establishment Republicans ARE the Tea Party elected Reps. We NEED MORE “CHuckleheads” (or Hobbits) if you prefer.
