You guys might reconsider your fundamental philosophy after this mess in Virginia.
You may search all of my posts and you will not find me identifying myself one time as Tea Party. The Tea Party has always been very vocal about recovering and restoring the GOP as a platform for conservatives. This is wishful thinking based on a continuing deception, and as this year has shown, wholly unrealistic.
I agree and identify with Tea Party objectives and passion, but I have always thought that the first step to a conservative resurgence is to recognize that the GOP is an enemy which will not be subverted or ‘taken back’. It can be broken down into irrelevance, but it is not a fixer-upper. That is a major point of divergence from at least 90% of the Tea Party people.
The GOP is the graveyard of conservative dreams. It is intended to be such. Wrong people, wrong vehicle, wrong motives, wrong goals.
