I understand the Tea Party did nothing for Brat.
The RPV is the Republican Party of Virginia.
There is no such national political group named the “Tea Party”! Whoever ignorantly proclaims themselves a “leader” of the Tea Party, you can discount them out of hand as an outright liar.
The Tea Party, of which I am a proud member, is nothing more and nothing less than a nationwide grass roots movement of individual USA citizens firmly taking responsibility, duty and control over our local, state and federal level elected government representatives, and also taking back our country as free men and women.
We, the people, are not very popular with the professional political class, and their idiotic pseudo partisan “teams”, but we vastly outnumber them, and we can't be easily bought off or intimidated.
We don't elect “leaders”, we elect representatives.
Fail to faithfully represent US, and we will toss your faithless ass to the curb.
The Tea Party is growing larger every day! We know we have a Republic that is in danger of failing, and we want to keep it, and are willing to fight for it. I really don't care if that scares the hell out of the current corrupt government system. They should live in fear of us. They should never have lost their "fear" of we, the people of the USA. That's how and why they became corrupt.
