If Newt is the leader of any Tea Party group, that group has either been co-opted by the GOP or is not a real Tea Party group. to be a real Tea Party member, you have to be anti-Establishment. Otherwise, you are merely a stooge of the GOP.
“to be a real Tea Party member, you have to be anti-Establishment.”
I have not read that in the Tea Party bylaws. Oh, wait a minute... there aren’t any bylaws.
So your just making that up.
You mean “real” Tea Party like the “Tea Party” candidate who kept one more Republican out of the House from NY?
Who is real when it is an unplanned and uncentralized movement? This will become more and more of a problem and the Left uses this feature to create havoc.
TP vs TP will be a major tactics against the Right.
There is a real dilemma here. Why is the "Establishment" scrambling with all their surrogates, talking heads and pundits to undermine and bash Newt while, at the same time, heavily promoting Romney, the so-called "outsider"?
By the same token, why is the "establishment" promoting the candidate who, as a super-rich guy fits right into the Obama campaign playbook of rich versus poor?
Just askin'.
