Are you aware that that is also the goal of the Republican Liberty Caucus that is a Ron Paul origination? ... To change the Republican Party from within.

Yep - I'm the TN-RLC Vice Chair.


I love the tea party / last supper concept above. The most hilarious thing about it is that Mrs. Rice is in blackface (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackface). :p

More news about Tea Partys here in Idaho

As 400 Tea Party activists rallied outside Idaho Capitol to shout down federal government, more than a dozen lawmakers have quietly formed a smaller but equally conservative new group inside the building to pursue similar goals: promote gun rights, kill health care reform, maybe even abolish the Federal Reserve.

Members of this ad-hoc state House group have drafted a charter they're calling "Platform for Prosperity," after a similar Republican movement in Colorado.

They said they aren't directly linked to Tea Party organizers.

Still, at least four Platform affiliates were featured speakers at Monday's hour-long gathering on the Capitol's south steps, including Phil Hart of Athol.

Hart says, "We are for nullifying anything coming out of Washington, D.C. where they don't have constitutional authority to act."

Following the link from that article to this one (http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/politics/2766-turning-republicans-into-teapublicans) then this one (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/15/us/politics/15party.html?th&emc=th) was an interesting experience. It's all well and good to take over a political party one precinct at a time, but based on the "success" we had in 2008--being largely shut out or ignored--I am very skeptical about this. If the Tea Party people start actively promoting an anti-war agenda and ending the War on Drug Users I'll believe something real is happening.

The monkey-wrench effect is great, but I have my doubts that this will not end up being co-opted by the Republican wing of the Government Party.
