“What’s a tea party scholar and how do I become one?”

Apparently be a law professor and have liberal friends. Because that is so grassroots.

That’s right. And they are now facing, along with the general population thrown in first, the sewer themselves.

Should the installed Mandate-Mitt, not make it, watch how quickly their media pressure some how forces The Undocumented out, before the democratic primary.

If Romney is the nominee, I will vote third party. Said it before, I'll say it again.

For those who cite SCOTUS nominations as a rationalization, let me remind you:

Now how many of them were nominated by conservatives? And how many nominated by "moderates"?

Uh oh...now you’re gonna get it....you’ll be told you’re voting for Obama..../s

I voted for Gingrich here in Georgia. If it’s just Romney come November, I honestly don’t know if I’ll vote or not. My hope for this country has just about fully deflated it seems.

In 2008, with the money gone, they made sure to scurry back to D.C., pay each other off with, “no skin in the game.” Throwing private business and lifetime savers to the sewer of inflation. Keeping their own salaries and incomes above the effects. “No skin in the game.”

When the plan failed they went into frantic mode, making certain to pass Arbeitsziehungslager-”Care”, again making sure their “skin is not in the game” by exempting themselves. (And therefore ignoring hundreds of thousands marching on D.C.) “No skin in the game.”

Now, facing the sewer themselves, installation of the MassachusettsMandate Implementationer, exempt themselves, again with “no skin in the game.”

These Exempt Ones, living high on everyone elses expense, need a taste of “skin in the game” living, saving, working, performing. Not taking.

The installation of Massachusetts Mandate Mitt, fits right into their “no skin in the game” plans, never having to face the real meaning of the Constitution.

So if the Tea Party is just a group of memes as the writer contends, what’s the point?

I predict the opposite. The anti obama sentiment is running high in this country. Look at the exit polls - the numbers are very high for the economy and ABO. Most will crawl over broken glass to cast their vote against obama. I know I will.

WTH is a Tea Party Scholar? It would appear she knows very little about it’s believers if she thinks that adherents are simply dying to pull a lever for someone who admits he’ll say anything to get elected.

"Gee ya think so Wal?" This business about staying home to prove something if Willard is the nominee will melt away under the heat of rage to get rid of Obama.

Exactly!

Obama gets re-elected and nominates a liberal justice and a Rep controlled Senate can fight it.

Romney gets elected and nominates a liberal justice and a Rep controlled Senate will confirm it.

All in the name of going along with the party line.

I understand that sentiment, but truly believe Mittens will not do much (if anything) to stop the freight train to socialism.

"What’s more, says Foley, is that tea partiers will ultimately rally behind whomever the GOP nominee turns out to be."

Ms Foley, if that is what you truly believe, then your self-appointed credentials as a "Tea Party Scholar" are hereby revoked!

It is time for Democrats to be the ones to stay home. We need to make a habit of going to every election, local, state, and national as if we are going to war.

We are at war, and if we lose, they WILL kill us. It's the lefty way.

They are planning to do that anyways, always was.

You can’t have a communistic paradise if you have somebody opposing it.

They must die.

So voting for a liberal republican that doesn’t represent you, share your values, and will say anything to get elected is justified?

As I said, beating Obama in November TRUMPS all this time around. My guy is Rick, but I also support Newt. I'm not actively supporting Romney but if he gets the nomination, I'll vote for him. Let's also win Congress, another great way to push the conservative agenda forward.
