Elect Yantis Green

TEA Party voters across the country are shaking up the status quo in Republican ranks today with primary races in 11 states and the Republican Party of Texas convenes in Convention this weekend in Dallas.   Today’s races in Nevada, California & Arkansas will test the strength of TEA party activists while the Texas GOP leadership, platform & rules are up for grabs.  Not since the Reagan Revolution has there been such a benchmark in the Republican Party defined by grassroots folks.  Sharron Angle is poised to take on Harry Reid in Nevada this November while Meg Whitman could become Governor of California & Carly Fiorina could take on Barbara Boxer in November. 

Some GOP insiders I’ve talked to expect TEA Party Conservatives eventually to take over the GOP much like the Christian Coalition did.  As usual, Texas Conservatives will lead the state GOP and the Texas GOP will lead the nation.  The Texas GOP Convention likely won’t be pretty; kind of like making sausage, we may not want to know how it’s made, we just want it to be great when they’re through.  Expect the Texas GOP to hold on to Conservative principles; limited government, low taxes, spending cuts, strong defense, securing the borders, free market answers to the economy and healthcare, etc. I’ll post major changes to the Texas GOP Platform here as soon as possible.
