Why can't the Tea Party get "real conservatives" nominated for President? That might have something to do with the identities and loyalties of the people who annouce the "winner" of the Iowa caucuses. It might also have to do with the identites and loyalties of the people who are large political donors. Angle, Odonnell, Akin, Buck, etc... All called themselves "Tea Party." They all wanted more government, more taxes, and more rules. You make an excellent, excellent point, Aimless... |

I never realized what a huge divide had been created in the Republican party till I started reading the posts of my lobbyist friend in DC. He spends more time criticizing the tea party then he does democrats. It is pathetic how out of touch those assholes get when they go to DC. View Quote That is the main problem right there, DC has it's version of reality that has nothing to do with the reality the rest of the country live in. |

This is a private PAC run by one single retired liberal of the Lincoln Chaffee mold.
It has nothing to do with the GOP or some supposed GOP plot to defeat the Tea Party. I see AR15.COMs squadron of Liberal Moby's is out in force once again trying to discredit the entire GOP with more of their shrill nonsense. |

By sheer coincidence, the "winner" (who didn't actually receive the most "votes") happened to be the candidate favored by the Republican Party establishment. I'm sure the party establishment thought the "win" was doubleplus good. |

Republicans are wise to keep many so-called "tea party" conservatives from the ballot. It is one thing to lose. It's another to lose n a mandate while allowing the left to make a caricature out of the rest of us... "Taxed enough already" smaller-government Tea Party Republicans...??? I have no problem with them. Please run... We need more of them... Angle calling herself "tea party." Yes, I fully-support the Republican Party trying to keep folks like her from the ballot...

In fact, once I was informed of the identity of the favored candidate, I sat out the Republican primary season. Further, it wasn't the congressman who received the largest number of "votes". But if you wish to alienate ever larger numbers of people from the Republican party keep doing what you are doing. You just might manage to turn the US into a larger version of Illinois, where the Republican party holds no power whatsoever. |

There are far more stories out there about conservative tea party groups raising FAR MORE money to keep a conservative course and defeat the democrats.

Is there a way to kick people out of the Party? Ohioans need to get on it. View Quote Yes, don't vote or contribute to them or their front organizations. When the NRCC or GOP calls I cut them off and ask "Is Boehner still Speaker of the House and attacking the conservatives? As long as he and the party leadership are doing so I will never support them. It takes a lot of stupid to call and ask for my money and vote then turn around and tell me I'm to shut up and go away until the next election. I will give support to any conservative directly but as long as Boehner is Speaker of the House and this assault on the people continues, I will never, ever give to the party or any of it's fund raiser groups. Just because you called, I'm writing a nice check to the Tea Party." (Click!) |

The GOP will do the same to real conservatives who do fit the conservative agenda. They just want the power to themselves. FYI the GOP is not Conservative anymore!!! Just because they are only 90 percent democrat doesn't make them much of a better choice than the Dems.

They go out of their way to alienate every soul they can find then complain they get no respect. The RINOs realize the people have caught on to their elitist, compromising ways and are rejecting them in droves. There is a power struggle taking place within the Republican Party. Hopefully out of the ashes a stronger, more conservative focused party will rise up truly representing the party membership. In the meantime the Libertarians will still continue seeking new ways to sink into irrelevance. |

If not for the Tea Party in the House we'd have 30 million+ more legal democrat voters about right now.
