‘Tea party’ activists filter into GOP at ground level

The conservative movement is urging its members to seek positions as Republican precinct representatives. Their goal is to remake the party – and U.S. politics – from within.

Tea Party of Nevada: Real Third Party, or False Flag?

I’ve seen several articles today and have read some comments about the formation of the Tea Party of Nevada and their intention to run an unknown against struggling Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid.

As others have noted, there isn’t a great deal of information online about the group or its principles… but there is enough to start wondering whether the group is remotely serious, or just a bunch of cutups.
