Well, if only I'd have known.

Well, for all of its claims, the Tea Party has had about as many failures as victories. Just look at the race to unseat Harry Reid, or the Christine O'Donnell races to see examples of the Tea Party's limitations. Both of those should have been no problem races for the Republicans, and were dismal results.

OMG...are we a microwave society or what!

The Tea Party doesn't have a perfect record of wins and doesn't change everything in three years so it's of no value now?

What have you done with any of the Tea Party groups...do you belong to one?

How much time have you spent knocking on doors...how much money have you donated to candidates...how many phone calls have you made on behalf of candidates? If you've been doing those things great; if you aren't doing those things why not and how do you expect things to change if you aren't?

Well, Obama? I mean he's going to win, he's a better option than Romney for gun rights (as far as signed legislation goes) plus Romney can't actually win short of a heart attack or a naked sobbing boy.

What you want is a candidate with the illusion that they could win. That would be Romney. I think it would be far better for the third party to turn out and vote libertarian heavily.

Yeah...it's a sure bet for Obummer...I don't even know why he is bothering to waste all that time campaigning and of course, none of us should bother to vote; I mean; we've got better things to do with our time (I think the next COD will be out about that time, right???).

If Republicans could look inside their ranks and find viable candidates, if they had some, any, a smidgen of Conservative ideology the Tea Party would never have been born.

It basically boils down to the fact that the Establishment Republicans are a mirror image of the Democrats, as evidenced by the lack of concern for what our Constitutions require of our Government, both in Washington and in Tennessee.

With respect to Tea Party, check with the establishment Republicans in Texas about the Ted Cruz race, and, from one who was intimately involved, the defeat of Debra Maggart. True in the case of Maggart, the NRA put some money up for adds and independent expenditures for billboards and such, but in the end there was a ground swell of activist from various grass roots groups, (of which the Tea Parties were involved) to walk the District, make phone calls and knock on doors, the facts got out and the People voted, that is how this works. The Governor, the speaker of the House and the Lt. Governor all stumped mightily for her to crash and burn in the attempt. The Caucus spent a lot more money than did the consortium of grass roots organizations, and to good effect from my perspective, (it showed that they are not impervious to counter action). At least it proves that we are not relegated to kissing the feet of the Old Guard, they now know that if we co-ordinate our efforts and dollars, there is a boogie man out there.
