>>How about we quit trying to negotiate with communists and DEMAND limited government!<<

We’ve already lost this battle.

The Tea Party was absolutely duped into melding into the republican brand sham.

I had high hopes early on that the Tea Party would be just that....a new party. Made up of conservatives, libertarians, and blue dogs with it’s main party platform of limited government, restoration of liberties and a rebuilding of the greatness of America and the American middle class.

Didn’t happen. Not sure where to go from here.

I agree. Trying to reform Washington from the inside is a lost cause. The Tea party was and is a great movement but it came too late to save Washington.

If you ask me where do we go from here my answer will remain the same.

In my opinion the ONLY way forward is for the states to assert their sovereignty by calling a constitutional convention.

We need to propose and ratify a few amendments and changes that will restore limited government as outlined in our constitution.

The tea party could lead the way in this effort. We need 34 states to trigger and 38 to ratify the changes. The founders knew when they wrote article five that one day the federal government could become corrupt and refuse to control itself. We have now arrived at that very point.
