Tea Timing Republicans
The American Spectator ^ | Grover Norquist

Posted on 12/05/2010 3:19:10 PM PST by Bokababe

The Tea Party movement is the fifth major wave of immigration into the modern Republican Party since World War II. It has brought Americans who had never been politically active to the forefront of the political fight against the Obama administration's agenda and into Republican primaries as voters, and in some cases, as candidates. The Tea Party movement became the party of opposition and then grafted itself to the backbone of the modern Republican Party as it approached the 2010 elections....

'grafted itself to the backbone of the modern Republican Party' 'transplanted itself into an empty skeletal crevice'

I had to fix that for ya. Call me a stickler for historical detail.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Every opportunist knows that the tea party is the new ‘in’ thing and they want to get their foot in the door so that they could influence it from within.

He's wrong from the very first sentence. I retain my independent registration and have no intention or interest in joining the republican party. Now if the GOP wants to support the constitution and conservatism by adopting tea party principles then I'll vote for their candidates. If they want to continue to foist mushy non-conservatives as candidates then the republican party will become the new Whig party.

Yep. The carpetbaggers and co-opters are trying to tap into this baby.

Norquist is delusional if he thinks he'll get any more than a whiff.

Sounds like Grover is a little jealous of his fellow Faux-Con Globalist Tea Party Bandwagon Jumper-On, Dick Armey

the captions says: Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin shakes hands with Grover Norquist before speaking at the Republican National Committee Final 2010 Victory fundraising rally October 23, 2010 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The speakers were supporting Marco Rubio’s run for U.S. Senate as well as several House of Representatives seats and statewide offices. Rubio is running against Florida Gov. Charlie Crist for the seat.

One of the great things about FR is that you get a complete bio on the author, along with their opinions of him, from the posters.

One of the tough things about FR is that people pay so much attention to the author’s bio, that they completely ignore the content of the article.

I don’t get the significance of the photo, it is an RNC fundraising function.

I observe it’s the other way around - where GOP RINO wanabees tried to surf a wave in a Tea Cup into the The Party(tm).

FAIL.

It’s a reformation, in the hearts of Individuals, toward our American First Principles - not a “party”.

Grover is trying to sneak his way into everything. He must be pretty up there already if he gets to shake Palin’s hand on the stage of an RNC fundraiser.

We don’t want people like Norquist to be part of this new wave of immigration into the Republican Party. And we are not going to leave islamofascists alone.
