Chicago Tea Party Folks Need to Talk To St Louis Tea Party Folks Pronto

Oh no!!! Another TEA Party post. The THIRD today .

I am not sure why while I am watching Bama play Tennessee I am on so much this subject today. I have been meaning to write more about my thoughts on the Tea Party movement.

Anyway some thoughts were circulating in my mind when I found this Pro-Tea Party blog from Chicago. See SHAWSBLOG He has a post that caught my eye THE TEA PARTY EXPRESS COMING NEXT WEEK-What the GOP Needs to Know

He says in part

The problem is the TEA PARTY has many members who feel no loyalty to the GOP. They feel no loyalty to the Democrats. The people I am talking about, including myself, feel the system is broken and neither party can or will fix it. Business as usual is not going to right our country. The country needs a fresh start. There are maybe a dozen in DC worth retaining. The rest must go. Its time to return to citizens running Washington, this is what the founders intended.
Unless GOP candidates are for less spending and small government, we won’t vote for them.


The GOP feels that, for them to return to power, the TEA PARTY must become less of a seperate entity and eventually meld into the GOP.

The GOP is missing the point. The TEA PARTY is bigger than the GOP. The TEA PARTY has many former democrats and indepenents as memebrs. The TEA PARTY’s views aren’t going to change. And, if the GOP wants to be in power again, it will have to adopt the views of the TEA PARTY……

Well that is all well and good but Chicago needs to get on the phone to Missouri because it appears they are missing the "alleged" official point.

We read from the City of the Arch:

Dana Loesch and Bill Hennessy called for the GOP to dump Dede in NY-23. Loesch and Hennessy spoke outside of St. Louis City Hall where they called on Tea Partiers to support conservative Doug Hoffman over liberal, Acorn-backed, Dede Scozzafava. When asked about this confrontation with the GOP, Dana remarked that Tea Partiers were not going to be co-opt by the Republican Party, but were rather in the process of taking it over. Bill Hennessy praised Ed Martin (R), who is running to unseat Russ Carnahan (D-MO) in MO-03, for taking a stand in support of Doug Hoffman. Bill called on other Missouri Republicans to do the same. Paul Curtman, who is running for state rep in Missouri's 105th, was there to support conservatism and Doug Hoffman. Check out some of my pictures from the event.

So what is it?

Is the Tea Party movement going to be a party competing with the rest of us for the trust of the American voter and thus the GOP needs to end this attempted relationship

or

Is the Tea Party Movement an organization that will give it votes to the person or party candidate that best represents their ideals thus the GOP should court you

or

Is the TEA Party movement wanting to become an active faction in the GOP as we deal with each other in a honorable way in electing people and formulating policy which includes "Tea Party "Republican Officals ?

or

Is the Tea Party Movement placing agent provocateurs in the party that if we GOPers should find them need to be taken out to the levee and shot

or

Is the Tea Party Movement going to take over the parts of the GOP , get elected to various areas of responsibility, receive the benefits of the GOP including funding, but run away if their guy or gal in a particular primary is not elected

What is it? Even the TEA Party people running the show that are barking out commands, threats and ultimatums through various entities every five minutes don't seem to know.

  1. Well, the Chicago Tea Party is here -- on your blog!!

    We are not going to define ourselves because it is unnecessary and can become limited.

    However, I can say we are concerned Americans who, for too long sat in their living rooms shaking their heads at the television, instead of taking it to the streets as we are now.

    We are moms, veterans, students, small business owners, union members, police officers, dads... We are democrats, republicans, libertarians and independents... We are white and black and brown and yellow...

    The only sure shared characteristic we all have is our patriotism and a demand for fiscal responsiblity and conservative values.

    In little more than a year, we will have mid term elections and in about two months the games will begin!

    We refuse to be led by the GOP -- their job is to appeal to US, not the other way around.

    If they refuse to accomodate our demands, we may have candidates in our party who will run!

    Gooooo tea partiers!!

    We may also have tea partiers who have a thirst to get involved in "party" politics... Have faith, their loyalty stands with their values, not their party choice... Anything we, as a group, can learn from another, regardless that it may have been found while working with the party is still empowerment that we would surely and gratefully take and learn from.

    We owe NOBODY anything aside from our families and our country.

    And we definitely will work tirelessly at cleaning up and replacing the members of the GOP; otherwise, if stand strong on retaining the clowns who are more associated with us, how can we ever be taken seriously.

    We are Americans and we are angry.

    The candidates and elected officials better WAKE UP.

    Fight Back,
