Wow! Lots of animosity towards the TEA Party here. I don't know why none of the national TEA Party groups supported Dave Brat, perhaps they don't have the money (am I the only TGT member that donates to the TEA Party on a regular basis?), maybe they didn't want to use up scant resources on a campaign they didn't expect Brat to win. It's all conjecture at this point which an anti-TEA Party media is still braying about, and will be for some time. However, I like Dave Brat's comment about his win, "Dollars don't vote, people do." and it looks like a lot of TEA Party members manned phones, knocked on doors, passed out flyers, and voted for Mr. Brat but maybe some of you want to win elections the good ol' fashioned GOP way....spend lots of money and call your opponent names.
