One of the problems with an organic movement ...Yes. One of the problems with an organic movement is because it's new, it fumbles politically. I would say Glenn Beck has NOT proven reliable in these instances. He says he won't vote for anyone unless they reflect all conservative values. We do have an awful lot of squishes amongst the ranks, particularly those damned consultants. So maddening.<br />Tea Party at Perrysburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14027340628609336662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984350225136093307.post-72478259939401110832014-06-15T21:05:07.806-04:002014-06-15T21:05:07.806-04:00I just cannot see taking down an incumbent unless ...I just cannot see taking down an incumbent unless the challenger can win in the general election. You know how I felt about Mourdock. I watched him lose, lose, and lose again.

But I think people just can't TAKE any more of the nonsense and have tuned all the organizations out. That doesn't mean the grass roots movement isn't there. I think it's taking a different direction, maybe not even anything actually spoken, much less organized rallies. Yes, it's interesting what's happening. You can't trust anyone, which is one reason people speak only quietly to one another. They fear the worst but will be there, I believe, when needed.Tea Party at Perrysburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14027340628609336662noreply@blogger.com
