Where is all this "Rand Paul is the front runner" nonsense coming from?

His swing toward the RINOcratic center is making him more popular with those with their heads in the sand (or other places).

As Mark Levin said on this radio show tonight, “we’re still here”. And we will continue to increase in power and influence. I would like to see it move faster, but move it is. Ben Sasse will be a fantastic addition to help reinforce Ted Cruz and the other “good guys” in the Senate. We have more Tea Party nominees that will be winning elections this year. The balance of power is shifting and, at some point, the tipping point will be reached—likely sooner in the House of Representatives Republican caucus before the Senate caucus.

I can’t decide whether it is from Rand Paul, from democrats or from the mainstream GOP.

All I know is the Tea Party is alive and well.

At some point, look out.

I’m surprise they haven’t asked the same question of Sarah Palin!

Tea Party obstruction remains powerful and has achieved victories that continue to stymie Democratic efforts to govern effectively

Amazing. When liberals want to do something it is 'effective governance' When Conservatives want to stop something it is 'obstruction'. Yes we do want to obstruct your efforts to control every aspect of our lives and that too is called democracy

The problem with the Tea Party is that it supported "cutting spending" - but not really. It didn't support cutting Social Security spending. It didn't support cutting Medicare spending. It didn't support cutting Medicaid spending.

The only spending the Tea Party supported was Sequestration - which didn't touch Entitlements at all - but cut the military by 50% of every dollar.

Screw the Tea Party.

There is no tea party, there are many tea parties. And therein lies the problem...or perhaps the opportunity.

"Where is all this "Rand Paul is the front runner" nonsense coming from?"

The article writer, apparently...LOL!

Maybe "wishful thinking" on his/her part, too, that Paul would be the nominee for President. Presumably because Paul is a Republican.

There is no such thing as the "Tea Party" when you get to the voting booth. It will realistically be a choice between the Democrat or the Republican nominee, with a few third party/write-in options available just to make it interesting, and possibly split off liberal/conservative voters enough for the opposition to win (Nader/Perot)...I personally don't think Rand Paul will end up being the GOP nominee, but that remains to be seen.

IMHO, it's a very good thing that Tea Party people are having a strong influence on today's GOP. It's also very good that conservatives of all views do not let the liberal/progrssives "divide and conquer"...Obama was elected (twice!) with their collection of aggrieved, subsidized, and newly found/enabled "eligible" voters.

The MSM will do everything it can to magnify any speck in a conservative's eye, while they also do everything they can to minimize/ignore all the logs that are out there in the current administration, and so many voters are so ignorant that "what difference does it make?"

But it does make a huge difference...united we stand, FRiends! Let's US "rock the vote" for a change!
