GOP rift continues between tea party activists, establishment types

Republican rift continues

Anybody who thought the Republican Partys rift between tea party activists and establishment types went away with Mays U.S. Senate primary wasnt at SouthParks Taco Mac restaurant last week.

There, about a dozen tea party activists met with Republican National Committee representative Mike Mears. Charlotte activist Dennis Peterson called it a listening tour.

I respect that the RNC took the time to listen to our complaints and issues however, everyone left with a feeling that there is a very large rift and not much demonstrable action is underway to repair, Peterson wrote on The Daily Haymaker blog.

Peterson said the RNC representative wasnt there to urge votes for U.S. Senate candidate Thom Tillis.

It came up that the majority of grass-roots activists are not fans of his, Peterson told the Observer. Ive heard a lot of people say theyre not going to vote in the race.

One issue that did come up was this summers GOP Senate primary in Mississippi, where incumbent Thad Cochran narrowly turned back a tea party challenge from Chris McDaniel. Activists say Cochran supporters broadcast radio ads accusing McDaniel of a racist agenda ahead of their June runoff.

African-American turnout, high in the runoff, is credited with helping Cochrans victory. On Friday a Mississippi judge dismissed McDaniels lawsuit trying to overturn the results. Jim Morrill

Tea Party meeting

To the Editor,

A tempest in the Banning-Beaumont Cherry Valley Tea Party (BBCV Tea Party) brewed Aug.14 during the second meeting.

After socializing, Glenn Stull, founder of the local group of concerned citizens, showed a short, compelling video about the downward spiral of our nation under the current administration.

Its important to reiterate that Tea Party (Taxed Enough Already) organizations spanning the entire country has no national leader, nor is it a political party. Its strictly a grass roots revolt against policies that are jeopardizing our future as free Americans. It is a forum for like-minded Democrats, Independents and Republicans who hold dear Americas conservative values of Constitutional adherence, fiscal responsibility, religious freedom, family values, free enterprise and less government intrusion. If this describes you, check out this group.

A prayer written during WWII by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale for a nation in crisis was read by Carol Murphy. Ed Reich, led the pledge to our flag.

Sara Hector, a business owner, introduced the speakers, Beaumont City Council incumbent, Brian DeForge and candidate for same, Mike Lara. Both gentleman shared their visions for Beaumont and answered questions.

Favorably received was the highlight speaker, Doug V. Gibbs, a radio talk show host and expert from http://www.constitutionassociation.com, who guided the audience through several pages of our revered founding document. A lively interchange ensued.

It was encouraging to see some young people present.

Meeting attendance had increased by 50 percent. One guest said, The media is so negative about the Tea Party, but personally, I find that people here are trying to defend the Constitution and our heritage.Another participant, The meeting is organized and much needed to get the truth out about our country.I want to learn information to share that will motivate others to get out and vote. Its a place to voice frustration with the direction of our country and concern for our children and grandchildren. And another, We need to realign our country to the visions of our founders like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and away from liberalism.

More independent minded Allen McNew and meeting attendee nailed whats happening out there and praised the Tea Party, (Tea Party-helping to effect change, Record Gazette, Aug 15, 2014). In the same issue, Tea Party supporter, Tammy Hull, writes in her letter to the editor about information she discovered about CA candidates for the U. S. House of Representatives, Democratic incumbent Raul Ruiz, and Republican challenger, State Assemblyman, Brian Nestande.Get the facts, people, to be an informed citizen voter; thats what the Tea Party is all about.

Tea party rival group propels progressive candidates

With a very real chance of being elected to Congress in November, New Jersey Democrat Bonnie Watson Coleman makes no bones about the fact that shes benefited heavily from a well-organized progressive machine that has begun to rival the tea party in its ability to hand-pick candidates and propel them into office.

Ms. Watson Coleman, a state legislator running for New Jerseys open 12th Congressional District seat, is one of five Democratic candidates this cycle to triumph over a less-liberal primary opponent after being endorsed by the increasingly influential Progressive Change Campaign Committee.

The 1-million-member group has backed candidates in Hawaii, Arizona and elsewhere across the country, each sharing one common denominator that they adhere to pure progressive values and represent what the PCCC has proudly dubbed the Elizabeth Warren wing of the Democratic Party.

Without PCCCs help I dont think I wouldve been able to get my message out, Ms. Watson Coleman told reporters on a conference call Thursday as she prepares to face Republican Alieta Eck in the November general election.

Founded in 2009 by former organizers of MoveOn.org, the PCCC is at the forefront of what some political analysts say is a purity movement within the Democratic Party, similar in some ways to the evolution of the GOP in 2009 and 2010.

The organization and its candidates hold fast to a number of progressive ideals, and count Mrs. Warren, a first-term senator from Massachusetts, as their standard-bearer.

Tighter regulations on Wall Street, a massive overhaul of the campaign finance system, and expansions of entitlement programs such as Social Security are among the groups core tenets.

Thus far in the 2014 cycle, the PCCC also has helped candidates such as Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz, Arizona congressional candidate Ruben Gallego and others fend off Democratic primary challengers deemed too conservative, or insufficiently liberal.
