They can't run around imperiously calling themselves "Constitutionalists" and then pull a stunt like this with impunity.

They can't run around threatening the heretical establishment and then claim the Tea Party has no orthodoxy with which to judge heresy.

They can't thump their chests, bragging about their political clout when it suits them and then claim there isn't even a "definition that covers what the Tea Party is or isn't".

Sure they can. They can label themselves patriots, run around, thump their chests and make a scene. It's theater.

Like Mama Grizzly and her bus tour of the Northeast.

This stuff doesn't mean a lot. The left can point and laugh at it. You can point and laugh at it. You can ignore it.

Just like I ignore EVERYTHING that Governor Palin does. I don't take her seriously.

I know you pay attention to the actions and votes of the House and Senate. The gears of government are moving accordingly. This meets your approval. All is right with the world.

Palinista doesn't care for Palin....priceless

Heres where I'm stuck. The TP on one hand wants to be recognized as a cohesive group to be reckoned with unless one faction does something dumb. Then they are humble individuals who are not governed by the whole.

There exists a TP Caucus that does not include all TP favorites as members. The mangled message and lone còwboy way they often portray themselves as tug them in opposite directions. Their biggest defense to the problem they created is almost always cry victim and portray fellow conservatives as monsters....Mark Levin a prime example.

Have you ever wondered why I don't post Palin articles and ignore commenting on her?

I have never seen the Tea Party as a cohesive group.

I'll tell you why.

Michelle Bachmann. The woman grates on my nerves. She wrapped herself in the Tea Party mantle. I get that. But then she says strange things that leave me very puzzled.

I don't get too worked up about her because she doesn't represent me. But then there are others that do bring good ideas to the table....


And then there are message boards where we can discuss it.
