Another Convert Into What Is The 2nd Amendment.

You refuse to get it FQ, The reason the Tea Party will not work with dems is because the dem party platform is essentially a list of things the Tea party opposes.
Bigger Govt, pro Union, less defense, more "social" spending, pro illegal immigration, the list goes on and on of things the Dems advocate that have been proven to be either failed, or bad for America, or both.

Ok, so Reagan's amnesty for illegals (the very last one ) was good for America? I guess W.'s unwillingness to crack down on the border while he was Texas governor or POTUS is in keeping with Tea Party values too? (I must be a commie for bringing that up ) How about Reagan's  ban on FA weapons? Or the fact that it took a combination of Republicans and Democrats to get W. to allow the AWB to sunset? How about Reagan's drug war? Oh, wait, maybe the Tea Party should support the Patriot Act, or perhaps the pork barrel spending that took place in the 12 years the GOP controlled the House and Senate, and the 6 years W. sat in the White House. After all, W. vetoed exactly, oh, ZERO, budgets rife with deficit spending when the GOP was in the majority.
 My point Tom, is if  you reduce this to a matter of partisanship not principle, you are a tool of the establishment who wants to divide us into boxes so we don't unite against them. If I had my way we would do away with parties (better known as factions) and vote for people. That won't happen, but yeah, if you say party A is good and party B is evil without looking at the people running, I think you are an idiot.

The AWB was "allowed" (wrong term IMHO), to expire was because the mere peasants that make up the voting majority had realized it was and is a failure.

and guess what?,....Politicians actually represented an actual Republic...Because the axe was going to fall on their pretty little necks if allowed to continue.

So if what your saying is true, Allen West is what, a mere anomaly? A mere token politician who won a heavily Dem. district?  Perry, Brewer both Republicans, are trying to crack down on the borders and getting hammered and sued by who?

The categorization of "folks" is a Dem playbook chapter. Just ask BHO "The One Who Will Unite Us",.....FAIL.....The drift continues with two very obvious things:

1) No textbook political party gets it.
2) The Tea Party principles resound with more of the country than without.

Congressional Approval has been hovering right around the almighty 9%......Even below the IRS. Tar & Feathering levels if you asked me.

As for West? Yeah, I do think he's an anomally. There aren't two like him out there, and he hit the right district in the right year, saying the right things. Think of him as the GOP's Dennis Kusinich. You have to admire the man, but you'll never duplicate him, don't even try. He is just a force of nature that defies logic and political wisdom, and comes around once in a decade if you're lucky.
