Comments on: Republican Party vs. Tea Party http://triangle.ncfreedom.us/2010/01/30/republican-party-vs-tea-party/ Providing News and Opinions for North Carolina Patriots Sun, 22 Aug 2010 10:23:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Michael http://triangle.ncfreedom.us/2010/01/30/republican-party-vs-tea-party/#comment-76 Michael Sat, 06 Feb 2010 18:52:25 +0000 http://triangle.ncfreedom.us/?p=734#comment-76 I would like to concur with Erika. As much as we may not like it I believe we should work on several fronts. The ideal scenario is a strong tea party movement that acts as a separate entity using its power to pressure the traditional "conservative" party from the outside but there is not enough concentrated effort to make this happen....yet The Tea Party movements current strength lies in its ownership of the social discontent of the masses. The Republicans need that to win. It appears that they still haven't realized that they have failed to energize us with true conservatism and in fact were partly the cause of our banding together as a separate entity. True to form is the presentation and election of Scott Brown. Though it was a victory in putting an "R" in a traditional "D" seat, he is not what we espouse as a conservative. His type are exactly what got us into this mess when we relied on the "Party" to give us conservative candidates. Where we are weak is in organization and money and we have not shown that we are a formidable force to be reckoned with. They are convinced that we are riding on emotion and we will eventually dissipate. They laugh at us while at the same time work to benefit themselves with our labors. To them we have no lasting substance. In Cabarrus we are working on all fronts as best we can. This is going to be a long road spanning years. What we asked ourselves is what can we do now that will have the greatest impact for 2010 and what must we do in the long run to have the greatest impact. We hope and pray our efforts will work to bear pressure on the Republican establishment and bring real moral and principled men and women to the leadership of our cities, states and nation. I would like to concur with Erika.

We should be thinking of a stratagy to take over the Repulican party. It is what we have. The Socialists have taken over the Democrate party. Hi Erika, I agree with your thoughts.

Unfortunately, (as these posts show) we are struggling even more to find just what that level should be. Down deep, I think we would all like to disregard the Republicans and forge ahead without them. However, they are the 800 pound gorilla in the room. If you compare the ACTIVE number of Tea Partiers who actually do more than rail on their computer to the ACTIVE number of Republicans, we simply don't stack up. I can't see how we can ever put conservative butts in the seats in DC without using the vehicle of the Republican Party. Going it by ourselves is probably the preferred philosophical choice but the practical reality is we have to work within the framework the Republicans provide if we want to win elections.

Need to vote out those who want to stay with the elitist views in both parties...What say you?

We despirately need to get our folks inside the Party in positions where they have a vote and an effect on the Party. However, getting our people into the Party through the precincts is very different than having the Party borrow (steal) our credability by taking the Tea Party name just in order to get the masses to trust them. If there is not a change toward real conservative candidates there will never be a real conservative Party. This war has many battlefronts. Gaining power through precints is just one, using the power of the Tea Party movement to pressure the Party toward conservative candidates is another. We need both at work at the same time in order for it to work. If we allow them to marginalize our goals and minimize our voices by dragging us into the party we will lose the only source of external pressure. I'm glad your on board and have a good understanding of what is happening. Erika,

I see it as a move by conservatives within the Tea Party to take over the direction of the Republican Party. Like it or not, a two party structure is what we have to work with and it's obvious the current leadership of the Republican Party is not willing to support conservative candidates. Why can't the Tea Party movement continue to support the conservative candidates that do come along while at the same time get involved at the local precinct level to eventually make sure most all Republican candidates are conservatives? I'm interested to hear what others think. Do you guys think the move to infiltrate the Republican Precincts would be considered a move to the inside?
