It will be interesting to see what Commonwealth property in the Executive Mansion, e.g. furniture, artwork, appliances,
computers, drapes, carpets, fixtures etc. goes missing when the Governor and Mrs. Shopping Therapy move out in January.
Knock yourselves out, guys. Guess you don’t want to be an INCLUSIVE party.
Seriously, the answer isn’t for the Tea Party to back off this fight. Take them on and defeat them.
In Florida, the Tea Party got so strong that that little weasel Charlie Crist ran away.
We don’t win every battle, but we DO win. This effort for crony capitalism and the Rockefeller wing needs to be engaged.
Reagan beat them back, and we can do the same.
Yep, so long as it's their boy. Others need not apply. Support will be withheld and then the "I told you so" crowd will come out.
attacking small govt conservatism: sure sounds like a good way to spend GOP time and money
NOT
I hope names are named in this effort
The problem with that little scheme as I see it is that the Tea Party isn’t a group where you can catch them all in a building, lock them inside while the voting happens, and the issue goes away. They are individual, highly motivated voters that are sick to death of things the way they are. You are essentially talking about trying to destroy ants as a species, for want of a better comparison. That’s not going to happen easily, if at all.
Wyatt Durrette, who is part of this group, has not voted republican in decades. He admitted he voted for Al Gore over Bush.
Why should conservatives take advice from democrats?
Yes, let’s keep posting articles like this from liberal sources so we can have our daily intramural m-st-rb-tion of self flagellation…..this kind of crap has been going on since before Reagan…..and place like THE HILL and The Politico and The AP and the NYT run these pieces simply to get us all lathered up….and to distract from Obama Care etc….and FReepers take it hook, line, sinker, boat, marina, shoreline, every damned time.
Yes, this is going on. Deal with it….don’t play the media’s game….
TP of VA brought this upon themselves when they voted for a Convention to select a candidate vs primary. In essence it was a power grab that insured TP backed candidate will be selected vs risking not thru a normal primary. This has ticked off not only establishment GOP but also moderate GOP members. Tea Party need to learn from this, if we are strong and have the support of the people we do not need to stoop to Parliamentary manueuvers to win. It also sets off very bad feelings. GOP of VA will have to work these hard feelings off before unity is re established. Problem with setting off party civil war, is the Dems will take advantage of it.
The Republican Party is already gone. And it won’t be back.
Goliath boasts and ridicules David...how did that work out!
Substitute the people or the grassroots for the tea party.
Virginia Republicans organizing to blunt the peoples power.
Virginia Republicans organizing to blunt the grassroots power.
Virginia Republicans organizing to blunt the power of the citizen.
Appears to me like they are no different than the Democrats.
BTTT
