gop’ers. They are working at state levels focusing on national and state legislatures. The media are trying to ignore them other than the usual rabid rants. Soon I expect to see more TP coverage.

I think part of it is depression over OWS becoming a terrorist group that fired shots at the white house and tried to destroy a bridge plus the rest of the violence while the rest are clueless as MSNBC hosts continue to say. I’m not TP but support them. They deserve credit for helping Scott Walker.

but there are quite a few. I do not belong to the Tea Party directly, but most of our towns TP attend all the republican party meetings and I attend many of their meetings. We all know each other and work together on a bunch of things.

But there are many here who are TP members.

Or maybe he should just beg for a job if he doesn’t feel inclined to retire.

against a sitting (if unelected) President. He was waiting in the wings for ’80. The only remotely similar figure in ’08 was Ron Paul, who is (like him or not) no Reagan.

There was no other Conservative or Libertarian who had the existing stature at the start of the Primaries. Unfortunately, some Tea Party favorites (Rep Bachmann and Gov. Perry) proved unready and Hermain Cain had baggage. Santorum remained a guy who you could understand losing by 18 percentage points as an incumbent Senator.

Some people who were more conservative than Romney (especially Daniels) did not want to have to pass a litmus test.

You have a good bench and it is clear that Romney is better than the current President. Let’s see what happens.

and we held a tea party planning meeting afterwards and almost everyone was agreeing to fully support the republican nominee mitt romney.

and yes it true that mitt was not the first choice of tea partiers, but he is the republican nominee and as such deserves the total support of the tea party movement.

This is not how it works around here. I’m not a moderator (just been here for about 8 years) and it’s okay to repost your entire article, but it’s not okay to post part of it to try and drive traffic to your website.

Looks like everyone took the weekend off though (it is EE’s birthday after all – soon to be a national holiday), so hey, just fix it
