This is what happens when we let others define us.
We have no leader.
We have no organization.
We are not a political party.
We are a movement of like minded Americans...nothing more...nothing less
I meant good in a hilarious way...
There was a potential vote-stealing third partier just a few weeks ago when Brown won in Massachusetts; didn’t affect the outcome. There will always be small third party candidates running; all they mean is that the main parties (in this case Republicans) need to be on their toes and not presume that they have their constituency all locked up - and that can only be a good thing.
Yeah, they sure did in NY-23. Of course, the Republicans were the third party.
Not a chance
BTW, Sarah Palin is holding a political rally in Dingy Harry's hometown next month with the real Tea Partiers.
There was another liberal choice that one time so it balanced out. However, I bet it won’t happen in this election.
As an active TEA party participant I can say running a third party platform is retarded. Running a candidate makes us the equivalent of the green party to the democrats and simply peels of a flank of the voters . SHAME.
If true, it shouldn't be all that difficult to expose the rat.
I made that mistake in 1992, never again.
The “Tea Party” was never supposed to be an actual political party, there is simply not enough organization for that pursuit. What it was meant to be, and should be, is a steering committee for the rather large and cumbersome Republican party, or if the local conditions do not conform to the emergence of Republicans as a practical alternative, then attach itself to the local Democrat party apparatus.
Get on and ride the recalcitrant beasts that the major parties have become, transforming them, not yourselves. Forming a “third party” is NOT a viable course.
“We have no leader.
We have no organization.
We are not a political party.”
Yes and it’s great. They don’t have deal with it or stop it.
Let’s roll.
Uh, I believe there is a big fat D in that seat now too. That is my point.
If Nevada Republicans nominate a true conservative they won’t have to worry. If they refuse to do so, they deserve to sweat.
There is a D in that seat. Thanks to the Republicans.
“I made that mistake in 1992, never again.”
Don’t want to admit it but, me too.
That is true but that race is not the same. This is a regular election with a primary.
I know what you mean. With Obama running for reelection in 2012 and Newt Gingrich winning the Republican primary, then all we conservatives can vote the Tea Party candidate instead of Newt, it will split the vote and let Obama win, but that is cool.
The Tea Party movement should remain a movement and not attempt to become a third party. We don’t need “leaders”
We need to embrace principles and not personalities.
A definite way to loose. Get a grip.
“Guess that point was lost on your feable mind.”
Tea Bag Party aficianados who engage in name-calling
really don’t make me want to support their efforts
or cause. It’s getting more and more difficult to
tell who are Tea Party enthusiasts and who are
Democrats.
