The problem with that little scheme as I see it is that the Tea Party isn’t a group where you can catch them all in a building, lock them inside while the voting happens, and the issue goes away. They are individual, highly motivated voters that are sick to death of things the way they are. You are essentially talking about trying to destroy ants as a species, for want of a better comparison. That’s not going to happen easily, if at all.

“They are individual, highly motivated voters that are sick to death of things the way they are.”

Highly motivated individuals will only take a movement so far. Organization and leadership are necessary for the long haul.

...it’s unfortunate that the sobriquet ‘Tea Party’ arose from these people’s efforts, because that, as an identifier, valid or not, enables demonization and lampooning by the opposition...any collective term can be appropriated and used as derogation in any cultural enterprise, most obviously in politics...the price of organization, so to speak...

...a loose confederation of those committed to limited government, I understand, doesn’t have the punch of the ‘Tea Party’, but it does at least have the cover of anonymity...

Well I guess it’s time to put in more time recruiting Tea Party members... lol

What our idiot government and the Alinskyites don’t seem to realize is that the more they overreach and try to control us the more people join the Tea Party. We don’t even have to have recruitment drives...: )

Most Tea Partiers are veterans, not likely to be cowed by any politician.
