Why the Tea Party Lives On
by Patricia on January 3, 2013**A Post by Patricia** Tea Party must continue the fight for our country as Government continues to grow along with the leftist, socialist agenda. From National Journal. Full of complex spending schemes and special-interest giveaways, the fiscal-cliff deal shows that government just can’t stop getting bigger. Crazies. Cliff divers. Nihilists. Nutjobs. Those are just a few of the descriptions being applied to the 151 House Republicans who broke with Speaker John Boehner—they included his own supposed wing men, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Whip Kevin McCarthy—to vote against the fiscal cliff deal Tuesday night. In truth, what the fine print of the bill demonstrates is that the Republicans who refused to vote for the fiscal compromise had every right...

Great News! Mia Love Gets Prime Time Speaking Slot at RNC Convention
by Tammy on August 21, 2012UPDATE: Mia responds! See inside post... This was/is a no-brainer. She’s an authentic conservative and if she wins, will be the first African-American woman GOPer in the House. From any state. Ever. Utah is in a great position to break that ceiling for the nation. I’m a big supporter of Mia as I know you all are as well. Check out her campaign site and send...

Tea Party Favorite Ted Cruz Wins Texas Senate Primary
by Tammy on July 31, 2012We’ve only just begun. Congrats to Cruz and thanks to Texas for a great job! Via the Los Angeles Times Tea-party-backed Ted Cruz beats establishment candidate David Dewhurst in Texas’ costly Republican Senate primary runoff. The victory could bolster the conservative movement’s influence in Washington. In a long-shot victory that could help define the conservative tilt of the Senate, tea-party-backed Ted Cruz defeated an establishment Republican on Tuesday in the hard-fought GOP primary runoff in Texas. The outcome is not expected to tip the balance of power in the Senate, which is controlled by the Democrats; the Texas seat being vacated is already held by a Republican. But Cruz’s win over Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst provides another example of the...

Mia Love To Speak at GOP Convention, But Not Sarah Palin or Ron Paul?
by Gina on July 17, 2012**Bumped up from TAM Wire, posted by Flaggman** Nothing against Mia Love, she seems wonderful. But if she speaks and Palin is shut out, something is very wrong with the Romney campaign. From 5/3 via ABC 4 Salt Lake City Besides Mitt Romney, guess who else may be speaking at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida? Well, ABC 4 News has learned that 4th District Congressional candidate Mia Love may also appear there before a national audience. On a recent appearance on the Vanocur Political Group, former Utah Congresswoman Enid Greene Mickelsen said she suggested to the Republican National Committee that Love be chosen to speak at the convention…It’s now believed that the RNC also has strong interest in...

Public Podcast: Jamie Radtke, VA US Senate Candidate
by Tammy on June 4, 2012We know 2012 is going to be a continuation of the Tea Party Revolution we began with the 2010 midterms. One of the more important races is for Virginia’s US Senate seat, which is open due to Sen. Jim Webb not running again. Virginia Tea Party founder Jamie Radtke is running against big-spending GOP establishment dinosaur George “Macaca” Allen for the GOP nomination. This primary election for Virginia is a week from Tuesday, 6/12/12. She’s terrific and exactly the sort of Tea Party Patriot we need running against establishment hacks like Allen. Here’s my interview with her today on Tammy Radio. I hope you enjoy it and spread it around 🙂

What’s Happening in the GOP Primaries. In One Picture.
by Tammy on January 22, 2012In a nutshell? We've had enough of both the Political Establishment and the Lamestream Media. This Grizzly, Lincoln, Firearm, Emancipation drawing perfectly sets the tone for anyone in the Establishment who wonders what the hell is going on. Tea Party and Palinsitas know full well what's happening, and we're not going to stop.

Todd Palin Endorses Newt Gingrich
by Tammy on January 9, 2012I’m not surprised. If you’ll recall, I noted when Sarah Palin went after Mitt Romney Saturday evening, clearly indicating she wasn’t going to be neutral in this process, that they might as well endorse. While Sarah is a Republican and Todd and Independent, I think his endorsement of Gingrich probably reflects the Palin household sensibility. I’m curious to find if this has an impact on not only what Tea Party and Independents are thinking, but if Palinistas will now take a first/second look at Gingrich. Sarah Palin’s husband is endorsing Newt Gingrich for president, Todd Palin told ABC News today. But Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and John McCain’s 2008 Republican running mate, has yet to decide “who is...

A Warning from Canada for the GOP: Don’t Ignore the Grassroots
by Tammy on January 4, 2012A Guest Post by Canadian TAM Flaggman There’s been a lot of hand-wringing these past few days among Palinistas over the former V-P candidate’s apparent defense of Donald Trump’s machinations and Ron Paul’s fanatical followers. These two positions are clearly harmful to the Republican Party, which makes it clear to me: Sarah Palin sees...

Enjoy!

Nearly $500K to send Michelle, family to Africa
by Tammy on October 4, 2011Have they no shame? These people are burning down our house and robbing us blind. The Examiner has the story, and links to Judicial Watch which uncovered the sordid details. How much does it cost taxpayers to fly First Lady Michelle Obama, her two daughters and her mother, a niece and a nephew, a hairstylist and makeup artists to South Africa and Botswana to give a few speeches, meet Nelson Mandela, and enjoy a safari on a private game preserve? Nearly half a million dollars, according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) concerning Obama’s June 21-27 journey. Judicial Watch said the U.S. Air Force provided a C-32 – a Boeing 757 modified by...

Rep. Allen West Considering Leaving Black Caucus
by Tammy on August 31, 2011There will be times when we disagree with Rep. West, but what drew me to him in the first place are his core values, authentic conservativism, and genuine heart-felt love for this country. I remember when he joined the Congressional Black Caucus some questioned whether he should. Clearly, we can only change certain things from the inside, but the recent comments by some members of caucus has Congressman West rethinking, as you might imagine, his involvement with the group. West considering leaving Black Caucus Rep. Allen West (Fla.), the lone Republican in the Congressional Black Caucus, said Tuesday morning that he is considering leaving the group in light of comments made by Rep. Andrè Carson (D-Ind.), the caucus whip, who...

FreedomWorks Protesting Romney Tea Party Appearance
by Tammy on August 31, 2011Good for them. Romney is the antithesis of Tea Party principles. I’ll have FreedomWorks’ Tabitha Hale on Tammy Radio tomorrow to discuss this development and addition Tea Party news. Here’s the FreedomWorks statement: After months of distancing himself from the tea party, suddenly Mitt Romney wants to be one of us. That’s right, the big-spending former governor who signed Massachusetts’ very own version of ObamaCare is scheduled to take the stage this Sunday at a rally in Concord, NH to lecture real conservatives about limited government and fiscal responsibility. FreedomWorks and tea party groups from around the region will be there. But not to hear more platitudes from an establishment hack posing as an outsider. We’ll be there to tell...
