The Tea Party candidate easily wins the GOP nomination for Kentuckys fourth Congressional District, beating out the establishment pick. http://atr.rollcall.com/kentucky-thomas-massie-wins-gop-nomination/ The Fourth is deep-red so Massie will be in the next Congress. A Tea Party win! Massie has an interesting resumé. http://www.xconomy.com/boston/2012/...-to-tea-party-leader-the-thomas-massie-story/
Before the TEA Party existed, this was the default tag line Liberals used for Republicans... From what I've seen by attended four different TEA party events in my home town, the TEA Party draws significantly less from fundimentalist christians and more from independents and frustrated Democrats. I fall into the later category, and would vote for any TEA party candidate I've seen running for office in my state. I am still a registered Democrat, but the Democratic Party left me with the Radicals and anti-white Racists of the Obama Administration. I have High Hopes that in time, the TEA Party will replace the Democratic Party as the champeon of the middle class. The Democratic Party has chosen to make itself a fringe party who caters only to the worst in nut-case enviromentalism and anti-white racism. The Democratic Party needs to go the way of the Wigs and Bull Moose parties before it, to extremist and fractured to compete.
Massie's bio is pretty interesting. MIT grad. Funny, I didn't see "bigot" mentioned. How do you know he's a bigot?
That would now be the Tearepublican Party .Yep ,them hicks is taking over ,Yippee! total decay of Bourgeois democracy ,i note the totally lack of anything approaching politics of a usful character from the faith thunkun God nutty!
Massie's victory showed how a Super PAC can influence elections. A Super PAC called Liberty For All spent $900,000 to coordinate a massive campaign in support of Massie, which was the deciding factor. Romney's Restore Our Future has raised at least $28.6 million in April and it helped him to match Obama's fundraising power.
The socialist with no morals like Obama are destroying this country I expect 2012 to be a repeat of 2010
My sense of the political mood is that 2012 will be a much greater shift away from the Radical Camp of the Obama Democrats. In 2010, the TEA Party was largely center Republicans dis-enchanted with the big money bailouts being foisted by both the far left and the rich right. A smaller group of dis-illusioned independents rounded out the mix, giving enough of a coalition to make a number of surprizing traditionally blue state wins for the TEA party. In 2012, I believe you start to see a much larger group of dis-affected center leaning white Democrats defecting from the radical and too often anti-white racist Democratic Party to join the TEA Party movement. When an Indpendent or Republican goes TEA Party, it doesn't lessen the size of the Democratic Party vote. This time around, many of the new TEA Party votes will be a double hit to the Democrats, both a vote for the opposition, but also the loss of a vote for the Democrat. I myself am a Registered Democrat, but I would not vote for any Democrat candidate in 2012. My wife, my two daughters and their husbands all fall into the same situation. There is a price for anti-white bigotry and policy. The left/Democrats keep placing their hopes on the changing demographics of America, looking forward to the day when whites are no longer a majority. What they have not thought through, is that on that day, whites suddenly become the largest and most actively participating ethnic voting block. If the Democrats continue down their current path, in ten years, they'll be the marginal third party of radical enviromentalists and anti-white racists, to small, extreme, and fringe to be a major player. If all goes well, the TEA Party will Replace the Democrats as the party representing the majority (including working whites) of the middle class. The Republicans will continue to be what they've always been, and the Left will have learned a very important lesson about playing the racial preferences card.
So rural Kentucky likes the bunch of old white racists calling themselves the "Tea Party". Who cares? Their days are numbered.
Keep thinking that way Bubba because first, you are wrong, the Tea Party is made up of many different types, secondly it's good for America when you lose..
If that's the case then we need to thank the Tea Party for picking off all those liberal rotten apples back during the 2010 elections. Looks like this yerar they'll be baking all those rotten apples so as to make a pie big enough to throw in the faces of what's left to you naysaying liberals come November.
Nah, it's pretty much made up of old white fat racist bigots who will probably be dead within a few years.
Tea Partiers can't 'win' can they? All the condemnation we get in the media by the left. There aren't any tea party gatherings or marches...nothing. Looks like a huge group of Americans who are sick and tired of what the pols on both sides are doing to the country and the destruction that the Obamanation admin has brought on us.
What special requirements do Occupiers have? Those are the guys who are.. you know... actually on the streets.
Tea partiers congregate around trash bins so the can swig down the last few drops of Ripple left by the OWSers.
