Yeah you can’t trust those Sarah Palin Types who’ve been saying crazy stuff like this since 2009
And by the way, [with] health care being so big in D.C. right now, be wary when some kind of tie-in occurs. Because it will crop up: a tie-in with guns in an attempt to take away our rights under the guise of some new health care plan. You know that this is coming–that the two issues will somehow crop up and they’ll be tied together. So we have to be very wary of that.
What a bunch of nuts eh?

The greatest blessing to this country is the growing irrelevance and self-imposed destruction of the #teaparty. Thank God.

@datechguyblog They’re electing them but I think their overall influence on politics is down.

Because NOTHING says irrelevance like getting elected.
I have seen Ted Cruz on the news shows numerous times, and he always sounds impressive, even when confronted with extreme leftist interviewers. He knows how to expressfully tea party views without sounding like an extremist nut. He is definitely somebody to look out for in the future.
Well D Nanni. having spent my life as an actual Libertarian tyoe, it stikes me that your true oposition to the Tea Party types lies in the fact that they do not wish to bankroll your life choices.
When Dominic tells us he thinks the TEA party influence is down, his is more reflecting his hopes than his thinking. In addition, the TEA Party is now more involved in persuasion and the national parties than in marches and demonstrations. That makes the TEA Party seem quieter, but also makes it more effective.
It took over forty years for the Progressives to get from the shift to the Great Society welfare state, to this level of power.
We are now doing our on Gramscian “long march”, from the bottom up.
Either way, the mellow of those like Mr. Nanni are going to get harshed … either the Tea Party movement will succeed in making sound conservative principles “cool” and credible again, or we all will be overtaken by the events that will flow down from continued disdain for those principles; i.e. social and economic collapse.
The question is: which harshing would they prefer?
I hope somebody asked Dominic Nanni, “When did you and your good-time buddies start believing in God?”
I actually have high hopes for Dominic in the long run, the wisdom that comes from age and all that
