political hack. He loves and fought for his country and, like millions of us in the middle class, just wants to make sure his children inherit an America that is both free and great. On the heels of Sarah’s appearance in Little Rock, Robertson observed:
I am deeply concerned the Tea Party is becoming nothing more than a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party … Sarah Palin’s well delivered speech and her attractive demeanor is little more than a veneer for her less than attractive political philosophy … [she] is not dense or erroneous in her view of the Tea Party, just the opposite. She represents a growing insider’s attack to the heart of the Tea Party, very much like a wolf in sheep’s clothing entering the gate as an ally, but for all intents and purposes there to seize and capture, not only one or two stray sheep, but the whole flock!27 [emphasis added]
Can you blame him for fearing Palin’s sole purpose is to capture what has been a populist movement? As Robertson went on to point out, “What Republican wouldn’t want 10 million angry voters marching in the streets shouting, God Bless the Republican Party, where a few months before the same voices sang, God Bless America!”28 The last thing Robertson or any of us should want is for patriotism to be supplanted by party-ism.
Just like those of us in conservative talk radio, the Tea Party must remain an independent voice, free from the entanglements of any party. But how, you may ask? While I disagree with former Bush strategist Karl Rove on many points, he’s right when he says the pro-life and pro-gun movements give us a road map of how the Tea Party movement can and should stay independent from the GOP. Rove said, “These [movements] have been powerful because they have allies in both parties, not because they’ve been co-opted and have become an appendage of one party only.”29
So, no, you don’t have to pick a team.
Actually, it’s suicide if you do.
Another attempt to hijack the Tea Party movement and to get them to pick a side happened in February, 2010, at the annual gathering of GOP cheerleaders in Washington, D.C., hosted by the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Organizers peppered the podium with just enough faces of the real Tea Party patriots to satisfy the crowd, then paraded out the Republican dinosaurs who’ve been haunting Washington since the Stone Age: the John Boehners, the Newt Gingriches, and the Bob Barrs. How does their presence fit into the Tea Party movement?
Think about this one. During the CPAC love-in, Newt Gingrich threw his weight behind Republican Senator Robert Bennett of Utah, a man running for reelection who supports TARP and the mandated purchase of health insurance.30 If CPAC were serious about listening to the heart and soul of the Tea Party movement, these men should have been backstage carrying water for the new breed of patriots. Instead, the RINOs took center stage where they peddled more of the same old rhetoric. It’s as if the old guard was saying to the middle class, “You’ve done a nice job, sonny, now vote Republican—vote for one of us.”
I say shame on the leadership of CPAC.
Did they forget that Bob Barr, the former Republican Congressman from Georgia, went to work for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)? How could a man with those values ever be taken seriously? Let’s be clear. When it comes to anti-American activities, the ACLU is the head of the snake, as I’ve carefully documented in my other bestselling books. I guess given the fact that Bob Barr was there, we shouldn’t be surprised that CPAC allowed the ACLU to have an exhibit at the convention!31 I believe it’s guys like Bob Barr who are the type of fifth columnist trying to destroy the Tea Party movement from within.
Which brings me to shine the Savage spotlight on Dick Armey, the former Republican House Majority Leader. He’s another fake; a pseudo-tea partier. Bet you didn’t know this
