Should be an interesting night.
There's nothing "secret" about it. Read Amash's own campaign bio. You realize he IS an Arab of Palestinian ancestry... right?
Amash is a second generation Arab-American of Palestinian descent. His father is a Palestinian business owner, whose family emigrated to the United States in 1956
Do you need "proof" that Barney Frank is "secretly" gay next? ::rolls eyes::
Tea Party Express.
Show me the numbers. Their overhead is VERY high.
I don’t have to show you any numbers.
“Their overhead is very high” is a strawman argument.
I have been on more than on Tea Party Bus Tour that were devoted solely to supporting Tea Party type candidates.
So 100% of the overhead was spent to help elect candidates.
That is actual “candidate support.”
If you don’t like the tea party movement, find.
Do what you do, and we will do what we do.

There are WAY too many stories like this out there.
Do NOT give money to the Tea Party groups, give to Tea Party or Conservative candidates, but do not trust these groups, they are not being honest.
Yes, the IRS was wrong to go after the Tea Party.
But YES the Tea Party is also wrong to abuse their members as they have.
All that leftist craptrap from the Daily Beast left wing smear artist has been gone through quite well and exposed for the lies they are.
Yeah, there are a lot of stories out there, ginned up to help the dems and GOPe run roughshod over the Tea Party Movement and our Constitutional Republic.
You talk about “these groups” and post a link to a story about the TPX.
Do NOT tell me who to give money to or not, do NOT tell me
not to trust these groups, do NOT tell me “they” are not being honest.
The Tea Party Movement is mostly on the up and up, your accusations of abuse of members—and only mentioning ONE group-—which is doing great work-—is ignorant.
The TPX has been properly vetted and found to be a legitimate tea party group that is not guilty of all the accusations you have made.
Plus the ones in the story that you fell for.
Sure I understand what you think.
The tea party has NO leaders.
“Pat Roberts was in the House 1981- 1997 (16 years) plus another 21 years in the Senate for a total of 37 years..”
Forget it, he’s rollin’...
BTW, Kabar also schooled me that serving in the military means feeding at the “federal trough”, too.
I don’t give a damn about his ethnicity but his record speaks for itself (It’s all public information, as you say).
I assume his upside down views on Isreal/Palestine are due to his being a Paultarded Ronulan , not his Arab ancestry.
Amash and the rest of the Ronulan cult are not conservatives, period. The “GOP-E” is the lesser evil when compared to them by no small measure. I’d take Amash over say, Mark Kirk or Lisa Murkowski, but a typical Michigan Republican? No contest.
Regardless of the number of years in the Senate, Roberts has been in Congress since 1967 serving as a staffer, Congressman, and Senator for a total of 47 years in a row. He has been living in the Washington bubble and has lost the connection between his constituents in Kansas. He is part of the sclerotic government that forms the political class and should serve as the poster boy for term limits.
Heh. Textbook example of "fuzzy math", as the term was coined in 2000 when Al Gore tried to distort reality.
Of course they also try to tack on his years as an administrative assistant and his military service as part of his "insider" Senate career.
Since we're counting that, then Senator Mike Lee has "been in Washington for 20 years" if we start with his service as a law clerk to a federal judge. It also makes him a "career politician who has been feeding from the public trough" since he started working for politicians right after getting out of law school.
Obviously they need to find an obscure distant relative of Nancy Pelosi to oppose Lee in 2016 since he's a "Washington insider" and its "time for him to go". Once someone else runs against an incumbent Senator and proclaims themselves Tea Party the loudest, it will automatically make Lee a "Democrat lite RINO", REGARDLESS of how staunchly he stands with Ted Cruz.
Ain't it great that we're going down this road of purging our allies instead of our enemies? Things are soooo much better since 75% conservative Norm Coleman was replaced with deranged leftist Al Franken and none of these "time for them to go" crowd lifted a finger to defeat liberal RINO Susan Collins when she came up in the primary this year.
1. GIVE YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT/MONEY DIRECTLY TO THE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES ONLY.
2. DO NOT give your financial support/money meant for Conservative candidates to any other source, group. DO GIVE YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT/MONEY DIRECTLY TO THE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES ONLY.
3. The Tea Party Patriots, The Tea Party Express, should be able to secure funds to cover their expenses directly from donations by supporters.
“In other races where a longtime incumbent has been defeated by a tea party upstart, it’s because the incumbent favored amnesty, but that wasn’t the case here,” said Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a staunch opponent of giving legal status to illegal immigrants. “Roberts has consistently voted against every amnesty bill while in Congress and that fact takes any potential wind out of Wolf’s sails. It’s the missing element.”
Murkowski, Bennett and Lugar all supported amnesty.
I think Cochran and Roberts are the only two who have voted against every amnesty bill ever. I don’t support Cochran for other reasons.
Cantor, Chris Cannon and other House Incumbents lost over immigration.
The Primary Primer: In Tennessee, the Tea Party’s Last Stand
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2014/08/the-primary-primer-tea-partys-last-stand/
Silly ABC, It is NOT the last stand, only the beginning of turning the ship around and that takes time.
Today is the day. Tennessee’s Primary.
I hope this day lives in infamy in the life of Lamar Alexander! I’m hoping and praying that Joe Carr beats the living daylights out of this out-of-touch incumbent!
Any preliminary indications of turnout. At some point today some of the local news
outlets will begin to indicate voter interest, turnout etc. Good luck....
Just voted in the TN primary (with local elections) and I waited an hour - and did my part.
