Tea Party convention leaders announce formation of political action committee
The organizers of this weekend’s National Tea Party — who have been accused of trying to take a leadership role in the grassroots movement largely defined by its lack of centralized leadership — announced on Friday that they are forming a political action committee to “address the next step in the growing impact of the citizen activist movement.”
Judson Phillips said the political action committee will be called Ensuring Liberty PAC and will be focused on electing conservatives across the country.
“We’re not attempting to replace the RNC, we’re not attempting to co-opt the RNC,” convention media strategist and Memphis Tea Party leader Mark Skoda said.
The political action committee will be part of a larger corporation, Skoda said, that is “working to build a sustainable coalition of elected officials, first at the national level and then the state and locally to impact races by focusing on those offline regions that the RNC, NRCC or senatorial campaigns have not.”
The corporation will be headquartered in Memphis, Tenn., and “will take advantage of the lower cost to serve, a heartland view of America all the while keeping its focus on those first principles that seem to be eroded the closer you get to Washington or New York.”
Skoda said the organization seeks to “reflect the aspirations of the grass roots movements that are not connected to the traditional party apparatus,” though “there is no interest in creating any third-party movement.”

The teabaggers are doomed to fail. Trying to form a group of anarchists into a cohesive mess, is comparable to forming an association of loners. Or the proverbial herd of cats.
Keep telling yourself that….lol lib.
You appear to be the type of critic who would say ‘My Bad’ frequently. Are you approaching your first menstrual experience? Are your boobies beginning to pooch-out?
or like trying to organize the dems health care take over.
Boy, these teabaggers have sure drifted a long way away from the original concept of the teabagger-branch of the GOPer party. When some disgruntled citizen remarked that ‘This nation would be a lot better-off if we just dipped all the republicans in boiling water’.
Does HP know you’re AWOL? lib.
See above comment. BTW, try sitting on one cheek at-a-time. It may Hurtalitteless.
Since the original tea parties in April and following meetings in July and September were full of people from both republican and democrat side with a lot of independents thrown in your post is dishonest. Why are you so dishonest?
I used to be a republican, and I haven’t yet fully outgrown it, so I lapse once in a while with the honesty bit. BTW, why are you so serious? Have you not yet realized that not one word, nor a whole sentence you pronounce here, or anywhere on the web, has the ghost of a chance of making an iota’s worth of difference to anything meaningful in the universe? Relax, chill-out, play with words, have some fun. Nothing you say means a thing. And that applies to me, and everyone else, also. This Game of Life we mere mortals have devised is rigged, and does not deserve the appreciation of a gnat’s anus, which is truly a wonder, and deserving of appreciation in the grqand scheme of things. But our game can be amusing, and enjoyable. Think of it, The Game, as Idiot-Excitement, and Enticement. And play. You are definitely part of The Game.
Thanks. You deserve a good laugh.
