Republican Party Leaders Should Wake Up

The Democrats aren’t the only ones that should be worrying about tea party people.  The Republican Party leaders need to wake up too.  America wants smaller government not a growing government with huge deficits.

The first order of business needs to be remaking the Republican Party.  Too many of the elected officials in the Republican Party have lost their way and forgotten their conservative values.  They joined with the tax and spend fever of the Democrats and forgot their conservative roots.

“We will be a headache for anyone who believes the Constitution of the United States isn’t to be protected,” said Dick Armey, chairman of the anti-tax and limited government advocacy group FreedomWorks, which helped plan and promote the tea parties, town hall protests and the September ‘Taxpayer March’ in Washington. “If you can’t take it seriously, we will look for places of other employment for you.”

“We’re not a partisan organization, and I think many Republicans are disappointed we are not,” added Armey, a former Republican Congressman.

Tea party organizers say their resistance to Republican Party-backed primary candidates has much to do with what they perceive as the Republican’s stubborn insistence on embracing candidates who don’t abide by a small government, anti-tax conservative philosophy.

“It’s an outgrowth of the frustration people have had with the Republican Party,” said Andrew Moylan, director of governmental affairs for the National Taxpayers Union, another group that has played a large role in organizing the tea party movement. “I think a lot of people have been angry at Republicans for betraying our trust.”

The Republican establishment has ignored their constituents and the feelings of their constituents for years.  “Nothing is going to change unless we can get politicians elected who can implement fiscally conservative policies,” Teri Adams of the Philadelphia-based Independence Hall Tea Party Association, which will be launching a political arm.

Canyon Clowdus, an Army veteran who is taking on third-term conservative Rep. Mike Conaway (R-TX), has blasted the incumbent for making “a horrible mistake” in voting for the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

“He has put a financial burden on my four children that will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars each,” Clowdus says of Conaway on his campaign website.

“I think it was a bad, bad political decision,” Armey said of the 34 Senate Republicans and 91 House Republicans who voted for the TARP bailout, “and if you talk to grass-roots activists, it has become a political test for them.”
