Actually, it's to our advantage not to have a top-down leader driven organization.
The minute we adopt that organizational form, the left (reads drive-by media) will begin their all out assault of character assassination and thereby discredit the Tea Party by tying us to the leader and all of that leader's supposed problems.
In fact, the straw poll selecting Ron Paul as the leading conservative at CPAC was most likely engineered by leftist who voted for him in an effort to discredit the members of CPAC.
As it stands, the left has been somewhat foiled when discrediting Tea Party members and have resorted to calling senior citizens Nazis, and portraying them as violent because of their interest in health care at town hall meetings.
To borrow (and modify a little) a famous phrase from the 1948 movie, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, "We don't need no stinking leaders!"
When we dump McCain, we'll get their attention. Donate to JD Hayworth.
Excellent Post! LOL
Yep, Alinksy "freeze it, personalize it". The media wants to identify "A" Tea Party leader so they can crucify that person and the Tea Party at the same time.
So, in the spirit of the followers of Spartacus, I adopt my new tag line.
