Unfortunately RINO supporters leeching on to the tea party movement as well.
Correct, anything for a base for Rinos. Even the Dick Armey issues base is not really tea-party: he skips out on family and abortion issues, ignores illegal immigration, border protection. There are no leaders, we the people are the conservatives who attend the tea parties. The progressives are just looking for some high profiles to bash.
I don't believe any of this, it's utterly ridiculous, WHY would the "opposition" announce their supposed plans on national TV as I've read that James Carville did.
Besideswhich, why don't they just ask the RINOs, they surely would hand over all the details for FREE, no need to hire researchers.
Last year the anti-Tea Party crowd were ‘deniers’. This year, the GOP, left, and paulites are spamming tea party sites/events. The joke is that even last year when few and far between these kooks stood out in the crowd and were IMMEDIATELY obvious by their signs, words, etc. While not everyone can spot a spammer leftie progressive, most can figure it out pretty quickly. Unfortunately for the GOP, (example: NY 23d district) they have so many progressives, they really can’t spot one like most Patriots can. CPAC is giving the progressives the impression that they can jump on board....won’t end well, will it! Time will tell how much this new riff-raff will influence good conservatives; goal of cutting the federal government in half.
However, like you say, if they want to expose RINOs and other profiteers, that's just fine.
