ICBW, but didn't the "grassroots movement" rise up in response to Republican involvement in TARP? In any event, it "rose up" prior to 2010, but then again, it's NewsMax.

The Republican Party wishes the tea party would go away, and would prefer a new base altogether, says conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
In an hour-long interview with Fox News Channel’s Greta Van Susteren Tuesday, Limbaugh said the Republican leadership isn’t conservative.
“They’re not particularly crazy about conservatives,” he said, adding that members of the tea party can’t be controlled by the GOP leadership. In 2010, the grassroots movement rose up in opposition to President Barack Obama, but the Republican establishment didn't embrace them. …

I don’t listen to Rush because he ain’t FREE! His show is on in the middle of the day in the middle of the week, and that’s when I’m working. But I can listen to Alex Jones online in the middle of the night, any night. Mark Levin too.
Rush makes you pay to listen to his show after hours. I don’t think so.
Thanks for the conversation. Good night, HiTech RedNeck.
Yeah, apparently that is the quiet word coming from behind closed doors at the RNC these days-—jettison Conservatives and build anew base with illegal aliens. Erick Erickson said the same thing last week in one of his pieces.
Without the Tea Party the GOP will be lost in the wilderness for a very long time.
Well that is going to drive the TP to form a political party of its own in no time.
Rush had been 100% supportive of the Tea Party and 100% critical of the Wash elites and anyone who says otherwise just doesn’t listen to his how,
Utter nonsense and it shows you don’t even listen to his program.
He said it and more..and he is right in what he’s says about the ones in charge of the Republican party..

He's always supported the Tea Party.......
I don't know where boneheads like him get their ideas.........When all is said and done, it probably comes down to envy of everything Rush has accomplished.
Let me be clearer.
You sounded an awful lot like you were hinting that the first coming of Christ was to do more than establish the basis for His kingdom in hearts. Then you began to quibble about synonymous words. If you want to accuse me of “near belief” go right ahead, I cannot force you to stop, however I have a track record of spiritual success. If you say you walk, and yet never see what the bible promises to the Christian’s walk, you aren’t walking!
By the way if you wish to clarify what you are claiming for Christ’s role amidst this mess in America, please please do. I won’t damn you for it even if you are badly wrong. But for all I know we might be talking past one another and actually agree on more than we disagree.
If I don’t like the cards I’m continually delt, I switch games. Had I voted for the guys with the Ds after their names, everything we’re experiencing now would be the same.

There’s a table over there you might not have noticed. The devil is playing poker at it, but he does not want you to realize he is a four flusher and that if you have the Ace from the Hole, you will beat his pants off. Big spiritual victories start with small ones. God will begin to move mountains for you. OK I get metaphorical this morning. (The poker game is my analogy in congruence with yours, based on valid biblical claims. The moving mountains is a bible promise.) My manner may not please some folks. But I aim to help those who do get the point.
IMO, the repubs had better not “wish away” the Tea Party folks since without them there might not be a Republican party.
I see the once great Republican party (who by the way was created right here in Rippon, WI) dying a painful death UNLESS they get rid of their good old boys and move into the modern real world. “Conservatives” are anxiously waiting for someone to surface that can/will get ALL conservatives working together. Right now the repubs are like a ship without a rudder.

Give it a bit and there won't be a republic.
Well, a human figure COULD appear to help the conservative side of the GOP coordinate, but these at least mostly Christian folk are thinking too small. How about the “Man Upstairs” (no, not Barack Obama, groan). All agree to put God’s blessing upon the country first, and pray that the Lord will make their choice clear after each pitches his or her best case to all the others and they debate and discuss. While normally the competition route is healthy, last presidential campaign season it splintered the set of candidates who were not weather vanes like Mitt Romney is. No more Mitts please. I’m still hoping Sarah Palin would gain confidence; in the Lord’s power she could blast past the political torpedoes. Maybe she asked the Lord for the proverbial 5000 who had not bent their knee to Baal and they weren’t forthcoming. But I don’t know.
Mark Levin says that he doesn't go to the parties, and "lives like a monk."
Anyone else notice a difference?
