It’s a problem.

The GOP sucks but we have a Tea Party problem.
The Tea Party are being targeted and disassembled.

No, it is he that only has to Google to find out. The problem is that the Media has transformed them with negative stories.

I really don’t think that money is the issue, but negative news coverage might be. Either way, we are fighting a battle against 70% of the public because of the media.

The next round is to Defeat Sen. Lindsay Graham in SC:

This SHOULD be considerably easier since we only have to keep Lindsay under 50% unlike in NC where we needed to keep Tillis under 40%!

Let’s Go:

And just how do we win a battle against the media?

Your attitude is harmful to the conservative cause and therefore the nation.

And on the argument front, Ansel12 makes better, and factual, arguments than you.

I’d also say that the person citing Matt Bevin as a fraud is also speaking detrimentally to the conservative cause. There is no reason to alienate people.

You keep reinforcing the perception of you as a disingenuous scammer.

We don’t have to like them but they’re the only game in town.

Let me tell you something your arrogant elitist loving fool -- they are not the only game.

I and many others will NEVER again cast a vote for the lesser of two evils. 2012 was the last straw for me and many I know.

From this day forward, I will be very contented to never again cast a vote for any RINO.

You may arrogantly think the evil GOPe is the only game in time-- ha! It will have to be without my vote and many others.

Withholding votes will be a powerful statement -- if the RATS win so be it. My conscience will be clear...

No, it does not have an organization problem, it has a problem getting most Americans to understand that America is under siege. Most youngsters don’t even understand history much less what is happening today with Government.

Yes, the Tea Party is thriving...don’t tell the media. Please don’t organize the Tea Party...they work so well as individual groups.

The GOPe deserves big losses in November

Not with the Supreme Court at stake. Yes Obama gets to pick but maybe we can get at least a 1/2 moon bat if one is needed replaced. Some were calling for Scalia to step down due to possible dementia last week. I didn’t pay it any mind but he is 78. We need to be careful.

Generally speaking, the loose knit arrangement of the Tea Party that I am in serves them/us well in many ways, but not in being able to consistently get a single candidate to go up against the GOPe, as well as vette the candidate, not really in political realm but more so in what their “life experience” is and in their ability to speak well and present themselves to the voters.
Also feels like the process, so to speak, is rushed...

Success and numbers are certainly on the TP side. We are supposed to hold our nose when an e-candidate makes it to the general, but the GOP-E submarines our candidates up to and including the general (Cuccinelli)....not me, not now, not ever, no more.

‘low info candidates’, really? Hmmm, I can’t say I saw it quite that way, unless you’re talking years ago.

Just curious, how does this play out for you?
We just keep recycling the same old song and hope
people go back to sleep? Let the Chamber of Commerce
pour money into candidates they can buy amnesty votes
from?

I really can’t see how your vision plays out Karl,
help me out.

Thanks

Someone prone to stupid gaffes is a Democrat’s wet dream.

No man alive makes more stupid statements than Joe and he still gets elected.
