To those posters who have observed that tea party principles won, I say, yes, thank God!

To those posters who say that the only prudent course today is to send your money to the candidate rather than to an organization, I say again, yes.

But the question for us is how do we gain political power to save the Republic through conservative principles. The best vehicle for that is and remains the Republican Party which is tragically entirely in the clutches of a Rino establishment. How do we gain control the party, or at least how do we influence it?

Until now the best hope has been to organize and present a united front and that we have been doing under the rubric of, "The Tea Party." Can you imagine approaching the likes of Cantor, Boehner, McConnell as an individual saying you better listen to me or I'm going to send my $20 contribution to the candidate? You will not even get a hearing from these men. But if we are organized and we approach the Republican establishment and say we represent the votes and the contributions of millions of American conservatives, we will at least get a hearing.

The point is that we lose leverage if we cannot present a united front. But a false and fraudulent front is worse than no front.

The voters are the united front. These buttheads do not listen to Jenny Beth Martin any more than they listen to you or me. Eric Cantor hears us now.
