I agree it’s Tea Party energy 2.0, untwist.
Absolutely, Dude. I have been reading the wires to see what the Tea Party is doing. They are decisively breaking for Newt. Newt is starting to reveal the next step, which I have been waiting to see. The partnership with congress, which is most critical. The Tea Party have been pushed aside since their massive victory in November. The establishment leadership, with guys like Speaker Boehner and Senator McConnell are dealmakers. They cave. Their deal with Obama at end of 2010 to extend the Bush tax law and cut spending was an embarassment. The deal to continue defunding Soc. Sec. with this ‘tax cut’ gimmick and no discretionary spending cuts is the latest. The lack of response to the recess appointments, the killing of the Keystone pipeline deal, and much more, goes by and there is no effective conservative voice to attack, apart really from Newt.
If Newt effectively builds that partnership, then the big fight against the weak, passive moderate establishment really kicks in. We have already seen what the Tea Party can do. If we align, we can take the establishment out in the congressional and presidential elections all at once. The picture of Boehner playing golf with Obama last year will be shown again and again. He really blew it. I want to see Speaker Allan West next year, or another real strong leader like him. It can happen!
