NP Rank:
TEA Party Nation and its Convention are Republican Trojan Horses
This is an excerpt from an article I wrote on Examiner.com. It discusses the fact that the TEA Party Nation Convention in Nashville TN is not a true TEA Party event, but rather an attempt by the Republican Party to hijack the movement.
First some quick premises and reference points. The TEA Party Movement is not one group. There are about 20 major TEA Party / Grassroots groups and 30-50 smaller TEA Party / Grass roots Groups. TEA Party Nation came into existence in about August of 2009. The true TEA Party Movement has been around about a year. True TEA Party and grassroots organizations take direction from the bottom up. TEA Party Nation and other Republican Trojan Horses exert control and direction from the top down.
Per the title of this article, let me reiterate that TEA Party Nation and the convention occurring this weekend are commonly known to be Republican Ruses among true grassroots TEA Partyers. True TEA Partyiers look down on the Republican Trojan Horse Groups with scorn. TEA Party Nation and its convention represent an attempt by the Republican Party to hijack the TEA Party Movement. Please read the following articles for the major media spin on this situation: . Tea Party Convention showdown [ http://twurl.cc/25yv ]; Tea Party convention raises questions about future [ http://twurl.cc/25yw ] or as a staunch liberal would put it: TeaParty-ism [ http://twurl.cc/25zb ]
But the average American does not have to rely on anyone's news story to realize that the TEA Party Nation Convention is not a grassroots organized event......

A very good piece, which I think for many will just confirm what they already knew.
Good to see that there are level heads in the debate at the true "grass roots level"

Is there anyone out there that thinks that the TMP is nothing else but the republican base self promoting itself with the same rhetoric and re-launching Palin politics? What Sarah Palin and the TPM advocated during their "convention" could have been repackaged and re-issued as a republican event.No difference. No independence. No option.
