There are two “tea parties”.

The first is the original spontaneous militia of Patriots
supporting the US Constitution, Americans and Law.

The second is the group formed parasitically
by Romney and Soros
to maintain the status quo and statism.

You are 100% correct.

[Vermont Lt]

There is no Tea Party per se. There are local, grass roots efforts. Anyone professing a national tea party has no idea how this works.

There are two “tea parties”.

Exactly!

We need to keep that essential difference in mind to avoid being misled by the well-funded parasites.

Here is a “third” TEA Party Platform:

* Close and seal the Southern US Border, all 2,000 + miles of it.

* Cancel NAFTA.

* Abolish all Federal, State and Local Welfare payments to non-citizens of the USA.

* Block all money transfers to Mexico, or other any Country South of our Southern Border.

* Have lunch.

* After lunch, pass and sign Federal Penalty law to anyone who hires an Illegal Alien Invader, with a fine of $1,000 per day per alien.

* String Concertina Wire Holding-Pen Stockades at 100 mile intervals for the newly captured gotta-ways.

* Be as hostile to Mexicans as the Mexicans have been to the US Marine held and tortured in Prison by the Mexican Guards for the last two months.

* Hire Greyhound Bus Company to transport Illegal Alien Invaders to Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Chain Link Desert Spa near Phoenix, Arizona.

* Have supper.

You nailed it. The local Tea Parties drove this election - and won it. At least seven of them went all out. Not with money, but with door-to-door, phone calls, and emails.
