I had a whole response for you last night and DP went down, for maintaince. To end this debate I would be a conservative meaning I am a strong constitutionalist which a true conservative. The current republican memebers in Congress are not for the most part conservative. As a tea party'er I am not looking to become a third party but to flush out the Rhino's and replace them with real conservatives.
i think the failure of that formula is that A) it doesn't take into account the fact that this is a center-right nation, rather than merely a center one, and B) Conservatism is popular when actually enacted. The way to win the middle isn't to be mealy-mouthed, it's to convince them you have the better solutions to today's problems, and it just so happens they are predisposed to prefer conservative solutions.

In your opinion, why is this nation a center-right nation? I've always wandered where people get that meme from
As far as I've seen, the Tea Party has been influental and has helped nominated favorites of the movement like Rand Paul. I think the Tea Party movement is helping the GOP nominate real conservatives who will shrink government. I almost think of it as RINO protection
It the Tea Partiers and strong right wingers win in the fall it will show the true colors of the GOP and help the Dems in 1012.
Um... what? That doesn't make any sense. If they win in the fall, that means that people have already voted for them. Not just the GOP, but the electorate in general. Why would that help the Dems in 2012, when the same electorate is going to vote?
It might not be the same electorate....people change. If they see a majority of "conservatives" in charge, and the USA economy is still something that stinks on a stick, they might re-elect Obama....
