Phony “TEA” Party Activist and convicted criminal helping leftist Alan Grayson (again)?

As I wrote a few days ago, the GOP primary race for Congressional District 9 is probably the most important of all primaries in Florida because it will almost definitely determine if the detestable shrill leftist bigmouth Alan Grayson makes a return to congress.  Most political pundits living in reality acknowledge that conservative Republican candidate John “Q” Quiñones is the Republican Party’s only hope to defeat Grayson in November.

I had to stop her and tell her – let’s not forget – the tea party is not a political party. Heck, it’s not even partisan!  The tea party is a movement of ideas built on the constitutional principles of limited government, personal responsibility, and fiscal conservatism.  The last time I looked, these are not conservative or liberal principles.  These are bedrock American principles that more than 70% of Americans agree with.  And those that don’t agree with them are fiercely opposed to the U.S. Constitution itself.  These principles are what make this constitutional republic what it is!
