The problem, as I see it, the Tea Party has to fight two political parties.

That’s because they are basically the same animal. Yes the establishment GOP has been able to fool many republicans but both parties are scared of actual Tea Party/ liberty loving candidates because they represent a threat to the system. Just look at the Speaker of the House and President – they are both dry humping each other so as to continue the scam and kick the can down the road.

The problem is that there are ANY other parties besides the Taxpayer Party.

Representation without taxation is unfair. It wasn’t much of a problem when less than 1/2 of one percent of the American public were supported by the government. But now that that’s passing fifty percent, freedom cannot survive without some serious changes to voting rights.

They’re just noticing this? Don’t forget also that the Tea Party has helped a lot of women get nominated(and in some cases elected). Deb Fischer in Nebraska for example. If the idiot power brokers in the GOP would quit fighting the grassroots activists and start to embrace them, they’d be amazed how many more elections they’d win.

And before anyone brings up Sharon Angle or Christine O’Donnell, let’s not forget that far more establishment and moderate candidates have lost recent Senate races than Tea Party types. Thompson, Mack, McMahon, Fiorina, and Brown for starters.

I know, it’s terrific. The GOP only wants the rubes on election day. And I for one am already a little sick of Rubio. It hasn’t been two months since the last GOPe pinup bit the dust and we’re already having the next Next In Line shoved down our throats.

Optimistically, this is just the first stage. It could take a couple of more elections to free the Republican party from the careerist establishment. Or they’ll pull the party to the right and the Stockholm Syndrome moderates will continue ceding the narrative to the media in order to be liked, and the party will officially split.

Yup , both parties wants the tea party marginalized, creating and supporting the media narratives “extremists” “racist”. Crocks wants to stay in power.
