TPX has been correctly criticized here for their past actions and statements, particularly on amnesty. I am a vocal defender of the Tea Party on this forum against establishment hacks, but it is true that some organizations are not truly conservative and are just using the name. TPX revealed itself as such by backing amnesty.
And by the way, I was on board with Chris McDaniel when his run was merely speculative, way before he had any endorsements at the national level. TPX did not bring him to my attention.
Doesn't matter if it is F the Tea Party Patriots, F the Mississippi Tea party etc.
Hard to believe anything you say after that.
And then you bought into the anti Tea Party talking points “some organizations are not truly conservative and are just using the name. TPX revealed itself as such by backing amnesty.”
You say it so easily, sad to see what people will buy into.
The Tea Party Express does NOT back amnesty.
Strong conservatives/tea partiers can see past the BS.
The Tea Party Express spent 2013 vetting candidates (cost some money) and McDaniel was one of them, and endorsed him shortly after he announced he was running.
They were just in Florida for few days supporting Clawson and helped him win there, quite a victory!
The start of a multi-state bus tour (took a bunch of money) where many other conservative candidates were brought out to more exposure though the tea parties generated along the tour.
You might have read about that on Free Republic.
