They need to get term limits on the ballot and make supporting that the new litmus test.

I`m waiting and hoping for Gurr will address the Portage County TeaParty at our next meeting, but I will book mark the link and raise this issue at that time but as it stands Gurr still has my tacit support. If you do more research, feel free to contact http://www.portagecountyteaparty.com/ and Tom Zawistowski mailto: info@PortageCountyTEAParty.com

You mean like improving their spiel?

The GOP-E can only polish a turd so much - it's still a turd.
