You Won’t Believe What the RNC is Doing to Stop Tea Party Influence in 2016
The 2012 Republican Convention made it clear to real conservatives (i.e. Tea Partiers) that the Republican National Committee doesn’t want our influence, they just want our votes. The way that they shut out Ron Paul and grassroots campaign efforts left a bad taste in our mouth then, and still does.
You won’t believe the lengths they are going through to stop our influence in 2016.
With the changes in party rules that were implemented at the 2012 convention, the Republican National Committee now has the ability to change rules between conventions and seemingly on the fly so that they can ensure another “moderate” candidate (read big government hack like Romney or McCain).
Ogreexposed.org says:
“The bottom line here is that the Establishment elites within the Republican Party have been working hard behind the scenes to ensure their 2012 illegal power grab over the Party is solidified to the detriment of the grassroots, conservative movement within the GOP. You will get Jeb Bush, Chris Christie or Mitt Romney served up on your plate, whether you want it or not.”
You would think that they would learn from the 2014 election in which candidates espousing Tea Party values beat and, in many cases, trounced “moderate” and progressive candidates. But the RNC hasn’t been paying attention to our demands (look at the last few Presidential nominations), and we’ll need to be ready to fight the establishment to give us a Tea Party candidate, i.e. real change that we really can believe in instead of a washed-over Democrat masquerading as a Republican.

Oh, well, if the Tea Party had no influence, why did the House majority leader, Eric Cantor, lose the primary?
