GOP Leadership Needs To Recognize What Americans Want

Some in the GOP leadership wake up to the fact that the Tea Party movement is gaining strength.  They need to recognize what Americans want.  It isn’t more of what Washington has been dishing out.

The Tea Party has emerged as a potent force in American politics and a center of gravity within the Republican Party, with a large majority of Republicans showing an affinity for the movement that has repeatedly bucked the GOP leadership this year.  RINO’s beware.

A recent survey shows, 71% of Republicans described themselves as Tea Party supporters, saying they had a favorable image of the movement and hoped Tea Party candidates would do well in the Nov. 2 elections.

The tea-party movement has helped to oust a number of incumbents and candidates backed by party leaders in this year's GOP primaries amid complaints that they lacked commitment to small-government principles. Poll findings suggest that the rising influence of the movement, with its push to cut spending and oppose the Democratic agenda, will drive the GOP to become more conservative and less willing to seek common ground on policy.

The findings show how the Tea Party movement has grown over the past two years from a loose confederation of activist groups into a marquee brand within the GOP that has upended a number of primaries in recent months.

Those include the defeats of incumbent Republican Sens. Robert Bennett in Utah and Lisa Murkowski in Alaska, and the recent victory in Delaware's Senate GOP primary of Christine O'Donnell, who was backed by some tea-party groups. Ms. O'Donnell upset a liberal Republican, U.S. Rep. Mike Castle, who was aggressively backed by the party establishment.

"The tea party has to a certain extent scared the Republican Party," said one poll respondent, Tim Bahmer, a 44-year-old Republican and self-employed auto mechanic from Charlotte, Mich. "From what I've seen of what the tea party is saying, I think that could be the change [Republicans] could benefit from."

The Tea Party is defending the Constitution and America’s freedom.  RINO’s beware because you either support the goals of the Tea Party or you can become one of the retired members of Congress.  Americans are taking Back this country!
