@ Amanda - your statement "15% lower turnout, about 300,000 fewer than in 2008. What does that say?"  fails to cite the actual data.  The actual data points out that voter turn out was almost 10% higher than the 2008 election cycle. 

The Tea Party is very engaged and cognizant of establishment politicians, their games, the obstacles, and the truth.  Unfortunately, there are still citizens who hold a cynical view of what we stand for and who we are.  I contribute part of this obstacle to those who would make statements that are disingenuous as most people do not take the time to validate.  I have taken the time to validate.

2008 Presidential Preference Primary

Registered Voters:	558,658
Ballots Cast:	201,034
Voter Turnout:	35.99%

2012 Presidential Preference Primary

	193,613
	87,162
	45.02 %

The TP is not irrelavent, the REC is irrelevant and ignorant.  I believe the TP should concentrate on infiltrating the REC.  They treated TPers as irrelevant, they did not learn a thing in 2010. Ignorance can be cured through education.  It is time that the TP teach them.  When I learned that Clay REC knew nothing about Agenda 21, I knew it was time to get the 'old guard' out.  The Clay Young Republicans know more about what's truly going on, in this world, and don't seem to be blinded by their own importance. I believe TPers should work harder to get into REC positions, locally, state-wide and nationally.  The American Spirit is STILL ALIVE AND WELL. TP is still small, but, imagine being one of only 54!!

The Tea Party has just proven itself irrelevant, inconsequential and ineffective. We all might as well vote for Obama ourselves. If we can not turn out in suffient numbers to keep the establishments candidate from winning by mile then how is november going to be any different?

It is sad and depressing to say the least.

Bill get over it. Ron Paul never had a chance, he didn't even bother trying in Florida. If we couldn't help Newt we sure as hell couldn't have gotten Ron Paul up in the running.

The establishment has won again, and once again we let it happen. We better start getting ready and making plans because we just handed Obama four more years.

15% lower turnout, about 300,000 fewer than in 2008. What does that say?

B"H.  In the words of John Paul Jones, " I have not yet begun to fight! ".  Newt may have "baggage", but at least he packed to go in the "right" direction with experience and clear vision based on a deep understanding of our country, her history and the intent of our forebears.  Besides, we should all be thanking G*d for his forgiveness.  For if You, G*d, marked our sins, who of us would stand?  Shalom y'all.

Did you not just learn there is NO difference between Obama and Bush?  Obama carried The REAL Party line that Bush begain.  All Globalists are alike and on the same One World Government team.  Wake up.

You STILL don't get it.  There is NO difference between an Obama, Gingrich or Romney.

Amanda, you are SO funny.  Apparently Romney's singing doesn't appeal to you :)

Bill, I think you are a sad person.  You would rather see our country destroyed if your candidate can't get elected, because that is what I am hearing you say.  I am truly shocked.  I love my country, and I can't fathom saying such a thing even in jest.
