'Tea party' head warns GOP of Fla. repeat - Is the GOP split beginning?

[240 is Back]

A founder of the "tea party" movement said Wednesday he had a warning for Republican state leaders: Back conservative candidates or else other states will suffer the same backlash that toppled Florida's Republican Party chairman this week.

"We are turning our guns on anyone who doesn't support constitutional conservative candidates," said Dale Robertson, who operates TeaParty.org out of Houston and helped start the movement nearly two years ago.

He declined to say which states are next on the tea party's hit list. He said party leaders in those states would be warned privately, but the movement's wrath "will be very clear publicly" if they don't listen.

"If they continue to do things like they did in Florida, it's not going to be good for them," Mr. Robertson said. "If they don't get that, and their party chairmen don't get that, they are going to be ostracized."


Sounds like they're taking on michael Steele.  Steele went on FOX news this morning to try to smooth things over with the tea party members.  Here is one of the primary founders of the TP movement, along with a sign he was carrying... umm...

The problem with Tea baggers and Politicians alike is that, it's not the government that's to blame, but the American people themselves. And I think people know that, but don't want to accept the responsibility that it is the American People themselves that have lead to the downfall of America.
Also, you can go around threatening people if they don't back whoever, then there will be consequences. This reads right out the KKK treatment of blacks in the South and Jim Crow laws.

  That sign and the guy holding it are both moronic, but yes, I'm hoping that the divide between Neocon Bush/Cheney types and real Conservatives like Ron Paul and Chuck Baldwin will continue to grow.
