So far you seem to only have a heckler from the RNCC cheerleading section.

The tea party is already a viable political party; it controls the republican party. The RINOS are on deathwatch and are being picked off one by one.

Nothing happens overnight.

It’s coming.

Is this from the Tokyo Rose school of propaganda?

I hear what you’re saying, and kind of agree, but I don’t think we control the GOP nor will we. We are too balkanized. Would love to see a Third Party so that every election cycle it’s not “I’ll hold my nose and vote for ...”

The TEA Party does not control the Republican Party. There are a handful of people in Congress that could be said to be on board with us.

It doesn't quite control the GOP yet, otherwise McCain, Linda Graham, Rubio, Cantor, Boehner, etc. would be kissing TP asses instead of Democrat asses.

And as for RINOs that have been picked off, they are low-hanging fruit for the most part.

To be truly viable, the TP has to boot out McCain, Graham, Boehner, Cantor, etc. and keep another Bush/Dole/Bush/McCain/Romney from getting the nomination.

I'm finally all on board with the TP movement, even if I have an issue with some of the Koch-backed stuff. I'm definitely done with the GOP and I'm not voting for any more liberals with (R) next to their name.

I don't recall anyone in the Tea Party rushing to nominate Mitt Romney, or to line up behind Karl Rove, whose allies still control the RNC.
