Coulter is right..... but for the wrong reasons.
Yes, we had shysters running as Tea Party candidates who were not ready for prime time or not vetted properly.
But that is going to happen with a new movement that is, essentially, leaderless.
The Tea Party will continue to have some false starts, candidates who misrepresent themselves and those who fall into the RINO vortex (Rubio).
There is nothing wrong with failure!
Coulter does ignore the progress being made by the Tea Party with regard to the message. Until Ted Cruz and others, we would only get lip service to fiscal responsibility and silence on constitutional order from our elected leaders.
Just as Obama set out to fundamentally transform this nation, the Tea Party set out to fundamentally transform the GOP.
We see the progress, but also know more work needs to be done.
Those who wish to start a third party simply do not want to do the heavy lifting required to restore the GOP to conservative principles.
In other words, they are lazy.
I suggest, we make it so difficult for the RINOs to hold onto the status quo of the GOP, that THEY go and start their own party!
THAT IS HOW WE WIN!!!!!
Even with their losses, the Tea Party, had a better result than did the GOP-E.
And that was with the GOP-E bad-mouthing conservative candidates throughout the campaign.
That should get them put in front of the “disdain and rejection” firing squad.
I think you’re right. We have to take control of the GOP, and that means fighting it out in the primaries. However, what do we do if the GOPe wins? Sadly, some here would rather cut their own throats by sitting out general elections or voting third party if the conservative doesn’t advance.
Let’s assume Senator McConnell survives his primary. I hope he doesn’t, but assume he does. McConnell’s voting record isn’t nearly as bad as ANY Democrat. Pick any. None of them come remotely close to voting as conservative as Mitch. This is why its foolish to sit out general elections (or vote third party) in acts of revenge even though GOPe candidates will likely back stab us on some votes.
Akin was not a Tea Party guy. He was more a religious right candidate. That’s not a bad thing, it didn’t work because he couldn’t keep from answering an ambush question.
I like that idea, we teaparty R's need to stay registered R, if you get pissed and denounce the party and change your registration to I or C then you will not have a chance to vote the GOP-e's out in the primary's! Stayed registered R, that is our power.
