Excerpted from “A Tea Party Manifesto; The movement is not seeking a junior partnership with the Republican Party. It is aiming for a hostile takeover.” By DICK ARMEY AND MATT KIBBE, Op-ed, The Wall Street Journal, AUGUST 17, 2010

Methinks G.O.P. “junior partner” would be a high goal for tea party movement members albeit there have been a few breakthroughs like the candidacies of Rand Paul and Sharron Angle.
