The Tea Party was the solution 2 years ago. The reason RINOs have succeeded since then s that the Tea Party has not been strong enough to stop them. Anyone who thinks the Tea Party did well in this election need only look at the results.

Once again, instead of complaining, try offering ideas as to how the Tea Party can regain its 2010 influence and energy.

One way to regain their influence is to research and put up strong candidates. When I say strong candidates, it is not enough to have a great voting record, or positions/platform. They need to be able to articulate their conservative positions with a reasonable degree of skill, they need to be able to handle media and scrutiny, and most of all they need the ability know what to say and what not to say. The goal is to win as many votes as possible with sacrificing your principles.

Research the candidate is key in that there are no big surprises in their backgrounds.

The reason Massachusetts liberal Romney was successful in destroying our chances in winning this election is because the RINO loving statists (including some right here on FR) pushed him on us during the primaries. I seem to remember you being one of the cheer leaders. But maybe I’m remembering wrong?

If the tea part was in decline since 2010, it was because the GOP-e,Karl Rove, Fox News, and RINOs everywhere attacked it and our candidates over and over and over again. How many lessons must the RINOs learn?
