Great, boy I bet this will scare the you-know-what out of the entrenched political W**res.

Please don’t let this forget who got them to this point.
This type of thing always worries me. Power hungry always gravitate to large orgs.

Will the various groups have a power of veto on “leader” positions. etc etc

You knew instantly, at the top of the show, who among the away team was marked for death. Red shirt? Gone. Guy you didn’t recognize? Gone.

Federation usually refers to the coming together in unity of a number of previously disparate parts. For example, when Australia became a Federation, its six colonies joined together to become one nation.

If the desire is to form a third party, then I say, “HELL NO”!

If the idea is to take all the REPUTABLE LEADERSHIP to pool some direction towards a future consistent, never dying, more cohesive PAC for raising money to be spent on conservative candidates and propositions, then I say, “HELL YEAH”!

As long as the “organizers” remember they are self-appointed and not elected...and don’t get into a power play.

For those not in the know: Red shirts are a reference to the original Star Trek series. Many episodes included a random crew member wearing a red uniform shirt. This crew member would usually die or meet some horrible fate. The red shirt seemed to signal their impending doom.

Don’t remember being asked, as a Tea Party participant, who is going to control Tea Parties or who the “leader” will be.

Sounds like someone is trying to make some power move and thinking they can herd cats.

“Free Markets”

-

So the globalist RINOs have taken over the tea party movement?

“Free trade”?

How about - buy American! How about BALANCED TRADE. How about open markets for American exports??

We’ve got “free trade”. It’s what’s destroying our economy.

The tea party - if they allow this globalist “federation” to assimilate the movement, just guaranteed their irrelevance.

They’re acting no different that the RINOS.

Well it worked out for our Aussie Friends.
But, I worry when I see this type of move in American Groups.

It always reminds me of the H-wood model. The hangers-on and A-kissers around Stars are like a nightmare.
Sucking the life out of the Stars.

We shall see. I hope it doesn’t drive away people like the indpendents who support the message.

Will this marginalize the message? ie:Move-On.org, etc etc

Gee, does this mean the Tea Party is no longer a grass roots organization? I fear they will get to big for their breeches.

This is potentially a bad thing.

I agree. We need a unified voice of counter press releases.
