I consider myself tea party. That stated, in many instances, we need better candidates. I am not talking about a change in political philosophy or policy (lower taxes, less government, rule of law, constitutional checks and balances)...what I mean by “better candidate” is an articulate person, like able and not angry...low information people don’t vote for anger. Reagan was a force of nature who changed America for the better...but he did not come across as angry.
To be sure, if you aren’t angry, you should be. But our candidates cannot come across as such.
I would absolutely agree. I want to see reasoned calm, not fury.
See my post #19. Your lesson for today.
I agree... the TEA Party’s intentions are noble, but tends to support candidates that lack the seasoning and sophistication to avoid unforced errors on the campaign trail. The fumbles by Sharron Angle, Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock killed not only their own candidacies, but those around them.
