OK, so the Tea Party is backing Gingrich? I didn't know that.

I read something that said Gingrich's election would hurt the Tea Party.

heh. Don't believe everything you read. Especially as regards politics. We have self appointed experts right here who will tell you, for whatever insane reason, that "the Tea party will never support Newt!"

Remember, the Tea Party is you and me, not some publicity hound posing as a TP "leader" or "spokesman."

“I read something that said Gingrich’s election would hurt the Tea Party.”

Written by an Obama Journo-Lister, no doubt.

Remember, the left believes the Tea Party is now a NEGATIVE BRAND, thanks to three years of attacks on the idea, and that associating anyone with it is the kiss of death.

Here is all you need to know about Newt Gingrich.

Who is the GOP establishment afraid of? It’s clear from the MSM.

Who is George Will afraid of and who is Obama’s campaign stooges scrambling to deal with? Gingrich.

In the words of Colonel David Hackworth, who is a “truth teller”? Gingrich.

Who won the debate? Gingrich.

I think the tea party is beginning to warm up to him. Newt is a pro-life, Reagan Coalition Christian conservative and he’s knowledgeable, experienced, fully vetted (sought redemption and is largely forgiven), is battle tested and rip-roaring ready to hit the ground running. No on the job training necessary. He’s a deficit cutting, tax cutting, budget balancing, welfare reforming, socialist healthcare program (HillaryCare) blocking, small government, big defense dynamo. He’s already taking the battle to the enemy. In short, we’re desperate and he’s exactly what we’re looking for.

First there is no single entity called The Tea Party. Tea Partiers are simply a group of people with common interests joining together to combat Marxism , crony politics and political elitists. Gingrich falls into at least two of those categories. If Tea Partiers are lining up for Gingrich I need to unhitch myself pronto from the Tea Party label.

I do not believe these polls because I don’t believe real Tea Partiers are for one nano second taken in by the elitist RINO Gingrich. This is a push poll meant to make Gingrich inevitable. Gingrich is not inevitable and there is a long way to go to election day.

I can tell you for a fact that the Tea Party is not backing Newt.

Stay tuned this week for breaking news on that item.

Its one of those conundrums but it is what it is. We’ve been in the trenches with Newt both on good terms and not but first things first. Stop Romney then we will worry about phase II.
