The True Tea Party will survive those who try to invent a personalized "leadership" position that doesn't exist.

We are a massive glacier moving slowly to forever change the landscape. Little snowstorms don't amount to anything. The mass and gravity of the movement is the true power, not some small group trying to pull us in one direction or another. That approach leads to failure.

Why change what works which is distributed, massive political power and voting clout?

Answer: We'll stick with what works. We are winning, they are losing.

My district in Tampa is a gerrymandered Communist set up. I plan on supporting Teap Party types around the country in winnable districts while at the same time making life miserable for my local Congresscommie.

I agree. However, those seeking "leadship" in the Tea Party are being assisted by the MSM to assist the left. The MSM want "leader figures" available so these Alinskyites can more easily -'Pick the Target, Freeze It, Personalize It and Polarize It.'

The MSM is making every attempt to attach a "person" to the Tea Party movement so they can find a weakness in that particular person and attach it to the movement.

Alinsky's rule won't work if Tea Party members continue to embrace the most "decentralized" concept, i.e.

"I am a Tea Party member. I am a Party of One.

I choose to be led only by MY values, and to work with those who share them."
