That’s what I like to hear, and she is right. Republicans better return to Conservatism.

She is well spoken and I look for her to go places in the Republican party and help turn it more conservative.

Probably not ~ but I'm pretty sure they won't be kept out of the party. After all where would they go? (Bwahahahahahaha)

The theory of operation followed in the Republican party has had a pretty good electoral record over the last century and a half. The Democrats have a different theory of operation that's kept them in power from time to time for lengthy periods.

The Tea Party people haven't expressed any new theory of operation that would seem to be superior to that of the Republicans or Democrats.

What that means is they will, at best, get to play a part within the Republican party, but they won't succeed in a total takeover.

Clue, the sooner one of you country clubbers can find somebody to marry off McCain's chubby daughter the better off everybody will be. She's Fur Shur not a Democrat, but left unattended and preoccupied she's trouble.

Maybe some nice Tea Party mother has a son or something who she'd like to move out of the basement into a mansion ~ whatever, time to get moving in that direction and then we can talk.

O'Reilly perpetuates the Democrats' myth that Tea Partiers are somehow uninformed zealots, when, in fact, most are people who understand their country's founding documents and concerned that both Parties have been complicit in expanding government power. Many of them are among the more educated citizens, and cross ethnic, economic, sectarian, and age groups. What they share in common is a newly-rediscovered love for liberty and America's promise.

By his remarks, O'Reilly implies a moral equivalency of the Tea Partier/Republican Party relationship and the Far Left Radicals/Democrat Party relationship when, in fact, they are the antithesis of each other.

Tea Partiers would bring the Republican Party back to its basis in Constitutional principles and protections. Far Left Radicals have taken the Democrat Party away from Constitutional principles and protections.

Both O'Reilly and the Democrats seem to be missing the message of the now millions of citizens who agree that the long-ago "Tea Party" in Boston is a wonderful symbol for a citizen movement of today which may have begun with Taxed Enough Already, but whose voices will be heard in legislative halls and capitol buildings across America. That will be the greatest tribute to America's Founders in many generations.

The tea party movement doesn’t need the OP(formerly the GOP).

I attended (for the first time) our local Republic Party meeting here in Central FL the other night. The event was packed with Tea Partiers (in fact, there were virtually no parking spaces).
