OMG What's this? The FL Tea Party chapter founder agrees with Sarah Palin???

Karin Hoffman, the founder of a Florida Tea Party chapter called DC Works for Us, is echoing Sarah Palin's recent comments that the organization should not field third-party candidates.

"Until a third party would actually pull away from both sides of the equation, it really would be disruptive and kind of diminish what we're trying to do," Hoffman said on CNN's American Morning Thursday. "Our goal is in this election cycle… is on a local level we will identify the candidates that best represent us."
...
Hoffman's comments also come two days after members of the Tea Party movement met with Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.

If some tea partiers agree that they have to pick a party, how divided IS this movement?

LOL...yes the beast rears it's ugly head declaring that Tea Party Movement has only one choice to succeed...vote for the same people from the party you left.

The growing political group is the independent voter. They don't just vote R or D, and they choose from each. What Palin should have said is to vote with your conscience for the person that fits your views on whatever matter there is. This is what I do. The Tea Party Movement would do well to throw off party affiliation for independence. Repubs and Dems are both coming down this year for a newer better service oriented elected representative. They may have the R or D next to their name but they will be people who will serve and not be served.

Nah, I don't buy that any more.. been there during countless "obama promises" of change by both sides.. The only way to end their oligarch serving ways is to douche them out of politics, abolish them like the nazi / baath parties.. unless the GOP/DNC haven't killed enough innocent people, or started & maintained enough wars yet?

If you like the fascist police state, wars of aggression, torture, secrecy, show trials, and living under a divide and conquer matrix.. by all means, the GOP and DNC are for you... good luck washing the blood off your soul.

For all those who believe in hell or heaven, I sincerely hope all GOP & DNC cultists are met in the after life by an angry mob of iraqis.

Nahhh... don't abolish them. Just ignore them lock-stock-and-barrel. We need to get everyone to simply vote against EVERY incumbent without exception from local races up to federal. And we need to only support 3rd party and truly independent candidates. Render Republican and Democrat affiliation a political liability.

"Caribou Barbie"... lmao, i love this. Haven't heard this before, but then I'm new to the expose on palin. When McCain picked this bwitch as his wingman, it became abundantly clear to me that the puppet masters were giving us no choice... and i wrote palin off as a complete joke. So here we are over a year later and she is still in the lime light... with a best selling book, 100K for a magazine cover, a gig on Faux News and now she stabs the tea party in the back... my whole assessment of her role in this play was way underestimated, i really think they are grooming her as the next female version of shrub. Once they do a through job of running this play (Chicago Tribune 1934), oldie but goodie, from the GOP play book... she'll be in prime condition to take the seat after Obama has had his 2 terms.

As for the purpose of speaking at the tea party conference, she is in some way still on the campaign trail.

I have picked a party, it's called the Libertarian Party.

Third largest in the US and ripe for an infusion with the tea party folks.

During the internal debates at the founding of the Libertarian Party, there was a faction that wanted a different name... that lost the argument.... but FYI, the Libertarian Party was almost called The Patriot Party.

For all those rooting on the TEA Party movement just to splinter the Republican Party.....too bad for you. Sarah Palin just poked you in the eye again!

The mission of the TEA Party movement is to back conservative candidates, and to pressure weak liberal Republicans to get their act together or we will put up candidates to run against them. ie. Charlie Christ in Florida.

The TEA Party is a movement not a political party, much like the Moral Majority was a movement.

When prodded to pick a party, the choice will be obvious. Republicans reached out to the TEA Party movement, and the Democrats mocked them. Let's see what strategy pays off.

The Tea Party is not a party? I wonder why they call it a "Party".

In any case, you better tell the Registered Florida Tea Party that they aren't a political party before they enter any elections.

A Florida conservative has registered an official "Tea Party" with the office of the Secretary of State, and is promising to run candidates against Republicans and Democrats in state and national races.

When prodded to pick a party, the choice will be obvious.

Unless they live in Florida or any of the other states that will register the Tea Party between now and the election.

Oh, and Tea Party Tops GOP on Three-Way Generic Ballot

In a three-way Generic Ballot test, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Democrats attracting 36% of the vote. The Tea Party candidate picks up 23%, and Republicans finish third at 18%. Another 22% are undecided.

I'm not saying they will be a viable political party... I'm just saying...
