2010...Tea Party cruises to huge national victory.

Even in blue Connecticut, Republicans gain 14 seats in the state legislature.

2012......GOP avoids Tea Party. No gains.

Every state GOP in America should pick a new State Chairman with Tea Party credentials if they want to regain the majority again!

I only had a feeling about him- maybe it was one of thsoe feeligns you get when you think somethign is ‘too good to be true’ I dunno- never coudl put my figner on it really- then I heard his itnerviews, and he just seemed a bit whiny to me- weveryoen was praising his itnerviews as being abotu a poor family that overcame great odds and rose to the top etc- but I heard the typical whining undertones in what and how he was sayign it- only later when he began attackiogn thsoe who dissagreed with his imigration amnesty did I understand that he was indeed whining about beign an imigrant earlier on- looking back, his itnerviews ‘appeared’ humble, but were sorta laced with his feeligns of entitlement for beign son of imigrants

Well, if the GOP splits, it was meant to split. The establishment views the TP as a barely tolerable, yet necessary, evil anyway. How again has all that big-tent “unity” worked for us anyway?

by your statement, you assume if one didn’t vote for romney they must have voted for obama. now i don’t get that.

Check the numbers. Any who stayed home or voted third party voted for Zero.

That would be any who didn't vote or voted for Johnson, Stein, Goode, Barr, Anderson, or, yes, Hoefling. Sorry, but that's how the cookie crumbled, and how we knew it would in advance.

Any who stayed home or voted third party voted for Zero. Any vote that did not go fo Romney was not earned or deserved by Romney. Votes are earned in this country unless you are Obama and can rig the vote.

My vote does not belong to anyone but me. It certainly does not belong to NE establishment liberal Republicans.

It's time folks, they divorced us, it is time to move out.

We were played in 2012 by the DNC via governmental apparatuses and by the RNC keeping us at a distance, hoping they could sweak out a win and keep the 2 party games going.

Paging Col Allen West, Paging Sarah Palin...

Agree. But it’s not always possible to spot an opportunistic manipulator at the outset.

We’ll make a few mistakes. A few RINOs and turncoats will get past our filters. It’s inevitable. But we’ll learn from them and get them out on the next round.

Also, there are times when a RINO is the only person running against a liberal, socialist, or communist. Lesser of two evils.

We need to start early to identify good conservative candidates. One problem is that politics mostly attracts the opportunists and manipulators, especially those with no real skills that could be applied to a normal, productive job. Those of us who are intelligent, honest, hardworking are usually busy with real jobs and raising families and don’t have time to run for office.

Equal protection be darned!!!

We must raise “minorities”, “women”,
“the children”, “Islam” and “gays” to the highest status possible and reject the rantings of biased, hateful, bigoted, homophobic, bible-thumping, gun-loving, knuckle-dragging Christian morons who are potential domestic terrorists.

> The RNC is dead.
> What do we need to shut them up? Garlic? Crosses? Holy Water? Wooden stakes? what!?

Let’s not leave out tar and feathers and torches and pitchforks.
The RNC should be supporting the Tea Party; not the other way around.

(The movement is as fired up as ever — and just as unwilling to compromise. That could spell trouble for the Republican Party.
The “tea party” is back and is brewing trouble for the Republican establishment)

Is journalism over?
Republican Party and Republican Establishment are not the same thing. The resergegence of the Tea Party spells trouble for those that seek to destroy America be they Democrats or Rino’s

Republicans supporting the Republican National Committee RINO policy are now in the minority. Conservatives and patriots are getting close to taking over the party. Karl Rove is about to be tossed into the garbage can of history.
