A SECOND WAVE: TEA PARTY LEADER SAYS 'YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET'
BREITBART ^ | December 12, 2012 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 12/12/2012 7:16:47 PM PST by SaveOurRepublicFromTyranny

Todd Cefaratti, the president of TheTeaParty.net, has a message for Republicans and Democrats alike: “This is just the beginning. If you think the tea party’s dead, you ain’t seen nothing yet.”

At a press conference inside the Capitol Hill Club in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday afternoon, Cefarratti’s organization and several House Republicans joined with Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul to decry House GOP leadership considering capitulating to Democratic efforts to raise taxes during the fiscal cliff negotiations.

Not an excuse.

Your argument is invalid: Willard lost.

The party is far more responsible for running candidates who can win and whom the party's grass roots find acceptable than the party's voters are for voting for whoever the party's candidate happens to be.

That's reality. Either accept it, or keep on losing. Your choice.

EPA 90%? Why not totally eliminate It? You forgot the so called “Dept. of Energy,” another useless federal agency. Why would anyone send one dollar to Washington to get 30-40 cents in “services” and just to employ a bureaucrat?

” TEA needs to color up even more, now that the content of one’s character is REALLY trumped by the color of one’s skin.”

Save yourself the trouble and just vote Dem now. Personally I refuse to be a part of any movement that adopts that idea or philosophy.

You want a country ‘won’ or ‘built’ on that sand? You are welcome to it. If we cannot convince whites/blacks redspurplesgreens of the correctness of our ideas, I see no point in becoming what we hate just to ‘win’. Because we will have won as Liberals.

Timing is everything and the Tea Party could have made the difference. No candidate is ever perfect enough and it will be dang near impossible to recover America after another four years of Obama's unchallenged socialist agenda. Fair-weather friends always have an excuse why didn't do something or just plain didn't show up. Didn't like the candidates...then run others or run yourself. Democrats NEVER give up and incrementally, they put their agenda first and use the people they need to in order to get the job done.

The Tea Party could have made the difference between freedom and serfdom...and they chose to sit out. How many? Many three million? Boy, when are they going to get really excited about something else next time? When we get to keep 10% of our wages, we are "allowed" to pray only in our homes, and we have to bow before animals who are "more equal" than us? They are more like "Late to the Party". At this rate, America, as we knew it, is over.

But they were all conservative but didn’t see that voting that way would benefit them in the long run.

We are not going to reach these voters with any more pasty white guys. TEA needs to color up even more, now that the content of one’s character is REALLY trumped by the color of one’s skin.


This is just more Amnesty Liberal spin. Howard Dean just said this same thing earlier this week

The GOP will lose worse in 2016 if they pander to minorities. The GOP needs to maintain their base...and dump the Kumbaya multi-ethnic nonsense

Admittedly, this is an “If I were king” scenario.

New Charter’s and Staff are key.

We don’t want to create the impression that folks are free to pollute.

The Energy Dept. would be redirected to SUPPORT energy production.
Especially in developing Nuclear Power Plant designs.
The objective would be to have 2 approved designs, which utilities would be able to deploy across the country.

They would also work WITH EPA to address waste disposal methods.
There are several technologically safe methods, and it has always been an issue of political will.
Folks opposed to nuclear energy are not willing to sign up to any disposal method, as that would undermine their opposition to the source.

“Because the GOP ran Willard.”

That’s exactly right. Their intent was to take the wind out of the sails of the conservatives, but while maintaining their own power.

I disagree.

The Tea Party may be the key.

Buy American, and support Tea Parties.

If the GOP goes along, great. If not, then replace them.

Now.
