Rick Santelli called “frenetic” just because he knows a thing or two and has the math to back it up. Heard he was sent to reeducation camp after that but he still has his moments.

Honestly it’s time for a third party, the Tea Party - organized, but still puts up candidates in republican primaries and will only support candidates that uphold Tea Party principles or we stay home.

Those candidates better be qualified and vetted, or you wind up with a deal like we had in Indiana where we traded an 80% Republican for a 97% Baraqqi.

Because the candidate couldn’t answer the same question Stephanopolus asked in the Republican POTUS primary debates back in January.

Usually the tea party trades up. like in Texas when they replaced Dewhurst with Ted Cruz.

May 10— Sarah Palin has weighed in on the fiercely competitive Texas Senate primary race with an endorsement of Ted Cruz, the tea-party-backed candidate announced on his website Thursday.
Mr. Cruz, pulling 26 percent of likely Republican voters in the latest Public Policy Polling survey, is hoping to finish well enough in the May 29 Texas GOP primary to make it into a July 31 runoff with Mr. Dewhurst, who is comfortably in first with 38 percent.

========== Dewhurst leads Cruz in the PPP poll, 46 percent to 29 percent.

Agreed, but the Tea Party will not be recognized until it has actual members and with that some clout.
I would register as a Tea Party member.

It has been mentioned elsewhere, too. Funny, the writer takes a shot at Brown's “pin-up” but something more substantial as Warren's false portrayal of her heritage is ignored.

Viscount Monckton gave an analysis of his experts analysis of the fraudulent Obama birth certificate to a California Tea Party meeting. I think some Tea Party members are still keeping active this aspect of Obama’s eligibility. If he was a fraud before the election he is still a fraudulent usurper if not more so now. Some people do not believe they must/need to throw in the towel or disown the Constitution for expediency.

I have a feeling that we’re about to see a public resurgence of the tea party. I say public because the tea party has remained active and has continued to make gains.

Some republicans probably wish that the tea party had not defeated Charlie Crist of Florida, and replaced him with Marco Rubio.

Many of us think that was an incredible stroke of luck for our future.

“”On the eve of the RNC 2012 convention in Tampa, former Gov. Charlie Crist tossed a wrinkle into Florida politics by announcing Sunday an endorsement of President Barack Obama over Republican Mitt Romney.””
