Making that kind of an announcement this far out, certainly does bolster the idea this isn’t a Republican movement. /s
IMO, it would have been far wiser to make that declaration in September/October of 2012.
The beauty of the Tea Party was that reasoned Democrats (not that there are that many) and Independents could join and not feel like it was betraying their old party. It also made it far easier for Blacks and other minority members to join, as it wouldn’t be as much as a slap in the face to their family members and friends.
The non-affiliation was a real plus IMO.
Pardon me, but this looks like the helpless ill thought out ding-dong statement the RNC or the Speaker of the House tosses out about every ten days.
Is that an indication that the Tea Party is going to become as helpless as the RNC? Heaven help us...
I could have sworn that one of the reasons that the Tea Party movement got so much traction was because of Obamacare.
But I guess Romenycare is just fine.
Good post, and I agree.
I was thinking the same thing. First things first. We don't even know the announced candidates and we aren't even in the primaries yet. The first priority is to stop Mitt Romney. Second priority is to rally around a conservative - best one we can get.
