well the tea party will marginalize themselves as well. if they are hijacked from neo-cons just means the gop and the tea party are screwed;) and will remain unviable 3rd parties...

Is not Freedom Works the group behind the 'Tea Party Patriots'?



In his last legislative effort, Armey was named chairman of the House Select Committee on Homeland Security and was the primary sponsor of the legislation that created the Department of Homeland Security (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_of_Homeland_Security).


At the start of 2003, Armey joined the Washington office of the law firm DLA Piper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLA_Piper) (formerly DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary) as a senior policy advisor.[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Armey#cite_note-7) Armey was also the firm's co-chairman of its Homeland Security Task Force.
How many law firms have their own Homeland Security Taskforce?

Is Homeland Insecurity involved in the co-opt of the 'Tea Parties'?



Dick Armey was a senior policy adviser for DC-based lobbying firm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying_firm) DLA Piper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLA_Piper), whose recent and/or current clients include "pharmaceutical maker Bristol-Myers Squibb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol-Myers_Squibb) Company, ... health care provider Metropolitan Health Networks, and the pharmaceutical firm Medicines Company," [15] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Armey#cite_note-msnbc.msn.com-14) all entities that might benefit financially from seeing health care reform defeated. Dick Armey's concurrent posts with both FreedomWorks and DLA Piper became particularly controversial in light of the $1,290,000 DLA Piper received in 2009 from the pharmaceutical (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmaceutical) company Medicines Co.

Don't worry too much about Armoury, he weakened his position inside the movement with a defense of illegal immigration. BUT IT WAS FREEDOM WORKS THAT ORGINIZED THE DC MARCH
