Not long after the 2010 mid-terms, I posted (on my old discussion forum) about how the “Tea Party” movement would eventually become more than simply rallies and townhall gatherings. I knew back then it would evolve into something unseen, bu…

I fully expect that the outrage that prompted the emergence of the tea party in 2010 still exists and will re-emerge as November approaches. This will take care of item #1 above. Let’s not fall into the trap of #2, however.

Welcome to it. One warning…I probably wouldn’t call the women, “girls” if ya know what I mean.

It’s a bunch of Powerline refugee, from when Powerline got rid of their boards. Now most are registered here, also.

winning at the local level (Senators and Reps) is the only way to fight the political machines for the time being…

We should be doing this no matter who the presidential candidates are. Thank you for the reminders.

Whenever we see a violation of conservative principles – by anybody, Democrat or Republican – we must strike as hard and as fast as possible. We must not be bound by personal loyalty to candidates, but by loyalty to the principles of our founding fathers. It’s our job to hold our elected officials’ feet to the fire. Milton Friedman once said, “It’s nice to elect the right people but that isn’t the way you solve things. The way you solve things is by making it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing.” That’s our job. And now is the time for us to answer the call.

Um, “strike back” how, exactly? I think if you name yourselves “Minutemen” and don’t specify non-violent forms of reaction, you’re laying yourself open to misinterpretation.

I say this as a Tea Partier who thinks we are making incremental change as we go along. That’s how it’s done here, folks. Obama’s the one who wants to pivot the whole country in 4 years through threats of violence.

Someone who is bitter and angry and immature. Is csdeven a man or woman?

If they both move to CA, it doesn’t look like it’s going to matter anymore.

Although give it time, it’ll be that way everywhere. Well maybe not Texas, but probably everywhere else.

Your response is kind of funny, considering my question, but I suspect you didn’t mean to respond to me, did you?

Night Owl on February 7, 2012 at 4:55 PM

Actually, I was replying to your post, really just the man or woman part. Yeah, was just trying to make a quip about the 9th Circus ruling today. Was a little bit of a stretch, I’ll admit. :)

Good to see you old friend… I don’t get around here much anymore. My highly educated and talented wife has not worked much for the past 3-years, therefore I have doubled up on my work. Two sons in college and my Architect wife is fighting to land a simple addition. Architects and engineers are getting outed from this economy.

Hope all is well with you Cold Warrior.

Exactly sybilll…. Well stated and congratulations! Keep up the good work while the good folks around the country make believe we have some how died off. Jeez….

If you’re not involved in your own local TP, how can you offer anything of substance to this thread…

I disagree. The Tea Party was always a faceless energy that wants to conserve an American government and a way of life. It cannot go forward by hitching up to one of the candidates running. I don’t see how it needs leader to suck the oxygen out of the room (like an Obama) and to let it wither and die once the shine comes off that leader-as it always does. The foundations and principles of The Tea Party message transcend any standard bearer.(read- mere mortal)

Per good, old-fashioned basic American civic involvement, which I call The Neighborhood Precinct Committeeman Strategy, conservatives could invade and take over the Republican Party, as precinct committeemen elect the officers of the Party, directly or indirectly, at the local, county, state and RNC levels. The Strategy works: in AZ and other states conservatives have filled up many of the vacant PC slots, created conservative majorities, and are replacing moderates with conservatives in the elected officer ranks.

PCs also are in the BEST position to help Get Out The Vote in their precincts for the best conservative candidates in the all-important, traditionally-very-low-turnout primary elections.

Keep in mind: about half of the PC slots in the Party are vacant and the filled slots are currently split about 50-50 between conservatives and moderates. Do the math. Fill up the 200,000 vacancies with conservatives and instead of a 50-50 split, conservatives would enjoy a 75% majority. Plus, we’d have full-strength, solidly conservative Party where it really matters for GOTV: in the precincts.

You guys are going to get that ranking north of 7,000 in no time.

I did not actually click on anything that would spoil his perfect score of zero interest, but we do what we can otherwise!

As I mentioned before, I’m curious, so I wondered what “It’s about Liberty” was, and I was wondering if he was doing internet snooping on you, but then I clicked your name. That looks like an interesting site, and if you don’t mind I’m going to snoop around there later.

Okay! So there is no shortage of bitter, angry, immature women. They have to be between 26 and 46, and that is really hard to tie down on the internet. And since the guy is such a jerk, I feel I’ve spent enough time trying to fix him up!

Well, if sesquipedalian is a “girl” between the ages of 26 and 46, likes chick flicks, and is “the one” by all means!

Number 7,889 in popularity, and as Flo & Eddie would say, with a bullet!

Heh, sesquipedalian isn’t the only nerve that’s been stuck.

MNHawk on February 7, 2012 at 5:09 PM

But 7,889 out of how many? That number was not available, and would be quite interesting to know.
