Well, maybe comments, thoughts, and behind the scenes actions like you describe above are what he's afraid of, too. My concern is over one of "who will watch the watchers?" To put it in a more relevant context, "who watches the organizers and deciders of the CoS?" How were they chosen?
It is easy to say there'll be safeguards, rules, decorum and consensus about what's to happen, but I can't help but to think about that line "the most careful of battle plans are thrown out the window when the first shot is fired." I am disillusioned about it because you rarely, rarely can find someone nowadays in government, politics, or conservative activism that actually does what they say they will do.
A case in point for me is the recent expose about the actual candidate donation rates (% to candidates) of the top Tea Party sentiment/affiliated PACs. Frankly, they are embarrassing and disgusting IMO, and they certainly don't give me good reason to believe in the best hopes of a CoS.
I refuse to donate to any national group that claims to speak for the tea party. They aren't tea party. They are noise machines who collect money, spend it on themselves, and rarely help candidates. The only national group I've seen do ANYTHING is Americans for Prosperity.
Now many of the local tea party groups don't have much money and do good work with the money they have. They also actually give a damn about the issues like we do.
