IS SCOTT BROWN A TEA PARTY MEMBER? I have asked this again and again (not necessarily of you). No one has answered. What I hear is that he is a Massachusetts Repub, in other words a moderate Repub, one that many on this forum would call RINO..
Scott Brown is most likely the most liberal Republican in senate.
Oh, this is pure fantasy. As I recall, you were one of those belittling the Tea Party from the very beginning, weren't you?
Nope, I was a member. I am 3rd party voter and it sounded like their non-partisan approach and support for 3rd parties was just what this country needed after Bush and Obama elections, but soon after that the Tea Party got hijacked by the radical anti-Obama Republicans, and the whole thing turned into nonsense. Now they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to support a RINO, and that proved what they are for. See, it doesn't matter what people say or claim to be, because the real test is the election day. Unless you vote what you preach, then your preaching is all fake BS. Most people claim to be conservatives and spend their days here preaching conservatism usually end up pulling for RINOs and socialist Republicans. They are fake, and do not stand by their principles. They put Bush in the office and defended his policies tirelessly, but he was nothing but another big-spending, big government Obama. Yes, he was another Obama, and you voted for him. And you'll do it again, and again, and again. And the Tea Party is sure to back the next Bush/Obama republican. It won't change a thing.
I would love to see a third party candidate BUT as we have seen, the media will not give anyone outside the two parties any air time so it would take an all out effort on the ground.
Thay must be the reason they threw so much money into his campaign. How much support did the Libertarian Kennedy get? Nada.
I don't think Brown got much help from the national Republican party either. The main reason that Brown got support from the tea partiers was because they saw him as the only viable option to wrestle the seat from the decades long grip of the Democrats.

You think they will stand by their principles next time? I don't think so, and people who donated money to get the incumbent RINOs out of Congress, saw their money spend into getting another one into Congress. They've been had, and now they want $500 admission fees from Tea Party members to go to a "hurt locker" meeting. Give me a break. And Sarah Palin wants to get paid $100 000 to make an appearance there.
If Tea Partiers were backing independent candidates, I would believe that they're a growing independent force, but since they appear to be backing mostly Republican candidates, are they really going to make any long-term impacts?
No. All it will do is cause the typical swing back to Republicans after a Democratic majority. then in 6 years when we do not see results form the Republicans it will have swung back to the Democrats.
The Tea party movement was hijacked by Obama haters. Hating Obama is not what a populist revolution should be about.

The problem is the left and liberals of the democratic party have is they have tried to marginalize this group through name calling and degrading. if one side is doing that you are going to lean to the side that is not
