Today Is The Tea Party’s Moment

[Taxcutter]

This is the day of reckoning that the Tea Party has been aiming for ever since Santelli’s Rant. Ousting RINOs is good. Ousting House Democrats is good. Ousting Obama is best of all.

Except the Tea Parties have not really come out in support of Romney.


On the cusp of the 2010 elections, Tea Party activists described their movement as a check on a Republican Party that had betrayed its conservative principles.

“The beauty of the Tea Party movement is watching it hold Republicans accountable,” deceased publisher Andrew Breitbart told Reason.com at a “9/12 Tea Party Rally” in 2010. “These people are not going to stop holding their government and elected officials accountable, especially those that claim to represent their values.”

...But as 2012 approached, media figures like Breitbart began to call for compromise.

“None of these people is perfect,” he said of Romney in a February Buzzfeed interview.

“From my perspective, there are too many people holding the conservative movement to an impossible post-2009 Tea Party standard,” Breitbart said.

If anything distinguished the Tea Party from other political factions, it was their willingness to vote against unacceptable conservatives. When Republicans pull the lever for Mitt Romney on Tuesday, they’ll bring that brief tradition to an early end.

Shhh. The big kids are talking. 2nd largest Congressional Caucus, and only formed in mid 2010, one half of an election cycle. Facts indeed.

Ryan is the Tea Party.

He is? Besides a lot of liberal media saying it all I can find is "the Tea Party Express" supporting him, and that's a PAC and about as Tea Party as Bachmann's Tea Party Caucus.

Republicans don't steal Romney signs. Liberals do.

Look, this is simple. Conservatives do things by the book. Progressives follow Marx's advice...take the country brick by brick. We need to start playing dirty too...get biker gangs to go to polling places and just stand around wearing Romney shirts would be a good start...expecially in Philly. Those bikers would have quite a lot of "ears" on their handle bars after they finished.
