Given the results of the Virginia Governor’s race and the proclivity of the GOP to embrace RINO’s like Chris Christi, I believe we, as the Tea Party, must make some changes.
I have written in The National Patriot of my disgust for the GOP and the RNC and that hasn’t changed but, I do believe there are 2 ways to go about winning.
One way is to go to war with the RNC and the GOP establishment and why not?
They have declared war on the Tea Party and, at first blush, if war is what they want, we’ll give it to them.
Right?
Well…
I believe there is another way.
Put up a front so formidable they will have 2 choices.
Join us or…
Be relegated to the annals of history.
To fully explain this, we must first take a look at recent history.
The Tea Party, an organic resistance to big government, high taxes and government intrusion sprang into existence in 2009-2010 as the force behind trying to stop Obamacare.
The early success of the Tea Party can be seen in the flipping of the house from liberal to conservative control and Obama himself referred to the 2010 midterm election as a “shellacking.”
Then came the 2012 general election and the Tea Party, still green behind the ears…
Splintered.
Certain Tea Party groups backed candidate A, others candidate B and down the line, candidates C, D, E, F and so on. This made for lively debates leading up to the primaries and well past that on social media with people backing their individual one and only candidate who they felt could steer the nation back to the Constitutional Republic entrusted to us by the founders and framers.
I warned of the impending disaster leading up TO the 2012 election but, each Tea Party faction was dead-set on their candidate of choice and guess what?
WE ALL LOST.
And when I say ALL, I mean ALL AMERICANS, not just the Tea Party.
Okay…Let’s jump to what happened 2 nights ago in Virginia.
With Obamacare being the driving force AGAIN…Cuccinelli closed the gap and the 13 point lead enjoyed by Terry McAuliff dwindled down to a slim 2.3 point margin in the end.
But, what was the REAL story behind Cuccinelli’s loss?
Robert Sarvis.
Sarvis was the 3rd PARTY CANDIDATE and by design, HE took away 6.6% of the vote, arguably, mostly from Cuccenilli.
Had Sarvis NOT been in the race, Cuccinelli would have WON that race and it’s not at all unlike what happened to Romney in 2012. If all those votes going to candidates B, C, D, and so on had gone to Romney, we wouldn’t have Obama to kick around anymore.
Was Romney the perfect fit for the Tea Party?
No but, while we wouldn’t have gotten everything we wanted with Mitt, we are now on the verge of losing everything we ever had with Barack.
So…Let’s learn a lesson from what we have seen thus proving we are not doomed to repeat history until our NATION is history but, let’s add a little something new to the mix.
THIS is where things start getting interesting.
First things first though.
We have a BOATLOAD of work to do in the next year with the looming 2014 midterm elections and right now is when we must…WE MUST…Hold the house and do everything we can to SHIFT the power in the senate.
Luckily for us, the Tea Party, we have Obamacare working for us…AGAIN!!!
And now, Obamacare isn’t just a socialist pipe dream. Now, it’s a sickening reality and, it what is an ironic twist for a law passed strictly on partisan votes…Obamacare has become VERY…BI-partisan.
IT’S A BIPARTISAN DISASTER!!!
Its insidious effects are being felt across party lines and the deeper the drill sinks, the more and more people are going to be hurt BY it…LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES ALIKE!!!
Back whatever house or senate candidate you want into the primary BUT…VOTE FOR WHATEVER HOUSE OR SENATE CANDIDATE APPEARS ON YOUR BALLOTS IN NOVEMBER OF 2014 REGARDLESS OF THEIR TEA PARTY CREDS AS LONG AS THEY HAVE AN “R” AFTER THEIR NAME.
Don’t go for the 3rd party OR write-in candidates because doing either will get a republican, RINO or otherwise…CUCCINELLIED on election night and we can’t afford it.
PERIOD.
Now then…ON TO 2016 AND FULL STEAM AHEAD with a whole new strategy!!!
As Tea Partiers…We have a reputation of being activists. We are sick and tired of the status quo.
AM I RIGHT PEOPLE???
So why run a presidential election the way it’s always been done just because that’s the way it’s always been done?
ARE WE NOT BETTER THAT THAT???
ARE WE NOT CAPABLE OF SHAKING UP THE SYSTEM???
Damn straight we are and here is how we do it.
Instead of going through the same ol’ process…Rather than putting 19 presidential candidates on the debate stages leading to the primaries…
LET’S GET OUR CRAP TOGETHER!!!
We will need to cooperation of candidates to make this work but…TEA PARTY CANDIDATES ARE WILLING TO DO WHAT’S BEST FOR THE PEOPLE so…
Here we go.
Rather than put up a CANDIDATE…WE NEED TO BUILD THE FULL TEAM!!!
Between now and the 2014 midterms…Pick the ticket.
Allen West? Ted Cruz? Ken Cuccenilli? Mike Lee?
Feel free to make substitutions but…
Here’s my pick…Cruz/Cuccenilli.
Settle down Allen West supporters…I LOVE that guy but, there is a method to my madness here.
Put either Cruz or Cuccenilli at the top of the ticket, I don’t care which. They’re BOTH rock solid.
Then…Have THEM start vetting for their CABINET Members.
Our military is in sorry shape and one of the BIGGEST issues are the rules of engagement. How do we WIN a war if the primary concern of the military is to win the hearts and minds of the enemy? We need a Secretary of Defense.
HELLO LTC ALLEN WEST!!!!!
Now…For the Sarah Palin supporters out there. I LOVE her too but…We need somebody who GETS it when it comes to becoming ENERGY INDEPENDENT…Right.
SARAH PALIN FOR SECRETARY OF ENERGY!!!
Drill baby drill.
Now then…One of the real flies in the ointment in 2012 was Ron Paul and while I don’t agree with his policies on the world stage…WHY NOT LET RON PAUL DO WHAT HE’S ALWAYS WANTED TO DO?
Put Ron Paul in charge of the FED and LET THE AUDIT BEGIN!!!!!
We’ve certainly seen the ugly side of the IRS recently and that Lois Lerner is a piece of criminal work so…We need someone who has made a life’s work of tax law to run the IRS starting in January of 2017.
MICHELE BACHMANN…COME ON DOWN!!!!!
HHS?
Anybody noticed any problems at HHS lately???
Dr. Ben Carson You’re ON!!!
Secretary of Commerce…RAND PAUL…Mr. Constitutionalist.
Secretary of State – John Bolton because NOBODY messes with the mustache.
Now…Try THIS on for size…
Secretary of Commerce or the Treasury…Mitt Romney.
Offer FEMA to either Bobby Jindal or…Chris Christi.
Chairperson of the Council of Economic Advisers – Newt Gingrich.
Administrator of the Small Business Administration – Herman Cain.
Director of the Office of Management and Budget – Paul Ryan.
Homeland Security…Susanna Martinez, the current Governor of New Mexico.
Attorney General…Ken Paxton of Texas. Look him up…You’ll LOVE this guy.
Remember, these are just suggestions and they include some that I don’t even like but, there IS method to the madness and certain folks on the list will have to put their egos in check for the good of the Republic. If they choose not to, perhaps they’re not TRUE Conservatives.
Starting to get the idea here?
Instead of a pile of individual “one and only” candidates who can turn the country around, resembling a pack of monkeys getting busy with a bag of footballs…
Take all those “one and only” candidates that all bring SOMETHING to the table and build a winning TEAM of them from the word “GO!!!”
Think about it…
The night after the 2014 midterms…A nationally televised event… in a Tea Party packed arena …Open to questions from the press and out walks the head of the ticket stating “I’m (insert name here) and I am running for the office of President of the United States.”
Followed by…”I would like you to meet my running mate…(Insert name here) and we would like to introduce you to OUR nominees for the Cabinet!!!”
One by one…with a the Alan Parsons Project’s “Sirius” playing in the background…They all walk onto the stage.
Go ahead…Play it and one by one…Read the names listed above.
TELL me that doesn’t make every hair on your body stand up.
Then, when the crowd starts to settle…Live on stage…AVA ASTON!!!
You know all those hairs that were standing up?
NOW THEIR SALUTING!!!!!
Imagine a TEAM spread out on the campaign trail instead of a bunch of individual candidates…All on the same page…Each uniquely suited for their position and working TOGETHER to regain AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM.
WIN the 2014 midterms and then…The very next day…INTRODUCE THE 2016…TEA PARTY TEAM!!!!!
The GOP and RNC would have to either join us or flounder because, the money is going to follow the team.
It’s BOLD…It’s BRASH and it is a JUGGERNAUT…An overwhelming, advancing force that crushes or seems to crush everything in its path…And those who want war with us can get run over BY us or get on board WITH us, there’s room on our train for everybody but, make no mistake, this is NOT about unifying the PARTY…
THIS IS ABOUT UNITING THE VOTERS BY STANDING FOR SOMETHING INSTEAD OF ROLLING OVER ON EVERYTHING!!!
