It is to be expected that fringe groups would attach itself to a movement but that does not neccessarily mean that the views of the Tea Party movement are the same as these fringe groups. <br /><br />These groups will just wither away later on as the views of the majority of the Tea Party movement(the common people) coalesce into a single view w/c is fiscal discipline.

I live in Colorado. We have Tancredo, Bruce, Buck, Maes, etc. All hold pretty important sway within the Republican Party. We like to think they are outliers, because they seem soooo out of touch. But they are just out of touch with us. There are a lot of people in this seemingly sane state who are not too far off that idealogy, or they would not vote for their dangerous and destructive initiatives. <br /><br />I believe they show the true face of the Republicans. And it is ugly. But I've always felt Republicans were pretty ugly. I do however wish a few Democrats would get that fire-in-the-belly mad at the way our own so-called leaders have betrayed us. Tea Partiers are willing to throw the bastards out. Democrats need the same commitment to our ideals. Me, I'm going green. I refuse to vote for Bennett.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820377390281203107.post-23301670551852897422010-09-20T08:24:00.092-07:002010-09-20T08:24:00.092-07:00The Tea Partiers are playing by the rules and winn...The Tea Partiers are playing by the rules and winning.
