Again, I imagine that if the Tea Party had broken from Team R, they probably would have posted it on their website.

"Their" website? Which one? As far as I know there is no national tea party that is recognized by the various local tea parties.

It seems that you are correct. The site is run by Dale Robertson, who many regional groups have rejected as a leader. This would also seem to indicate that the Tea Party is a long way off from being a party independent of the Republicans.

The Tea party never said they were an 'orginized party' rather it is a movement towards conservatisim regardless of party afilliation.

Many have eschewed their republican registration and have registered as conservative or independant.

Its just that its pretty damn hard to find a conservative democrat.

Are you sure it's not the "rent is too damn high"party?

Well as long as they are tied to the Neo-Conservatives, whom I suspect they will vote with en masse, I will not vote for them; I'll stay home. The mood of the independents is such that they will get in with or without my vote, but I will need to see their actions before they earn my support. The 'we're not the Democrats' line does not appeal to me, as I find the Neo-Conservative Republicans as repugnant as the Progressive Democrats.

That's what I did the last election, and I'll do the same this election. Ain't nobody up there worth voting for, and (in my opinion) the end results will be the same regardless who gets the office.
