The tea party is force feeding us far right extreme canindates, the Republican party has left me and others..we havent left them.
It is the massive influx of money from the KOCH brothers and the like that the dangle like a carrot on a stick in front of moderates to force them to adopt the far right stances that the majority of us who used to vote republican just can longer stomach or accept. The Tea party has turned into the very loud very few who bully their way into the platform of the party... ist time that we moderate republicans start rallying against tea party rallies.... we need to fight fire with fire or we will continue losing elections...
White tea party is history
When someone hates they will always lose and that is what happen to the Tea Party. Lets hope in the future that all people of America will come together and show what we stand for and that is UNITY and not HATE. We all love our Country, and the best way to show this is to unite as ONE people, but not in discord.
The Tea Party is a favorable indicator of the robustness of our system of government, so brilliantly implemented by individuals who had a truly uncanny grasp of both human strengths and weaknesses embodied by a governed populace.
