Florida is the first and only state in which the Tea Party has become a ballot-qualified party. The Palm Beach Post has this interesting column about the party, and the reaction to the party from people who identify with the Tea Party movement but not with the actual political party.

At the track, the long shot may truly be the best horse. Bets on this horse win the biggest.
Now think Florida 2010 U.S. Senate Race.
Commercial media wants you to believe, the only two jockeys that count, ride the republican horses, and between these two, you the voter must choose; period.
Media tells you if you vote otherwise, you will crack and split things, causing great harm to structures they have been harming you with for a very long time.
Their control is what led Florida and our country into current dismay and shambles.
Media is paid to keep the spotlight on them and shined into your eyes, so you remain hypnotized enough not to see the new jockey on the track that is there to represent you and me in D.C.
Tradition shows, you need millions to pay the media monster, or do not think you can be a jockey in this political race, no matter how qualified or how great a leader you may be.
Millions were needed to pay TV, radio, and fill our mailboxes and trash with glossy ads with their names. One or two lines and vote for me.
Internet has changed this. Information is available and communication possible between voters, who are real people who need real representation in D.C. to help them have jobs, homes and healthcare, which we are losing daily. Look around.
Who amongst the millionaires in power can honestly relate to you and me?
Can you name one you think cares about you or your family? Who has voted for the interests of the People over the Corporations’ interests that financed their fancy ads to get them elected? Research of donations and voting records will show that.
Media may tell you otherwise, (as they are paid to do), but in Florida, for the first time in history, there is an official registered TEA Political Party with a 2010 U.S. Senator Candidate on the November 2nd ballot.
Jorge Antonio Lovenguth (George) swore on the Constitution at age 17 and volunteered to fly in a USMC helicopter to rescue fellow marines.
He again has volunteered, this time to help rescue Florida and America as a candidate for the U.S. Senate.
He is not accepting any corporate donations.
He, on his own, has stepped forward into this political horse race, as he sees no one else representing the Veterans, the elderly and the young people no one in power is helping.
We need help now instead of just more and more being taken from us.
Lovenguth has heart, not millions of dollars to pay the media to get his name out.
He has a degree in literature and will read every bill, write his own thoughts and vote for the People’s interests.
He will owe no one except the voters who put him in D.C. The People are whom he will represent in his vote there. He will not be a puppet for big money interests.
This will make history in Florida; the example an election of VOTES of the People, not media money to dazzle or frighten us.
Help Jorge Antonio Lovenguth (George) with votes to kick open the door Marine style for the People to have a voice in D.C.
PASS THE WORD. Talk, write, email everybody you know about this.
Most important, register and VOTE TEA – Jorge Antonio Lovenguth (George) FL U.S. Senator – November 2, 2010

My personal history with FLorida is that the Deform Party/ Reform Party of the Orange Juice, Anita Bryant State is that organization use to raze the other non ballot access states for not being higher profile.
Then one of Sir Richard’s analysis came along. FLorida was one of the easiest states to start and keep a political party. Thanks Winger, from unnecessarily beaten up third party activists.
We have met the enemy and he is us ……….
The Florida Tea political Party is not re-inventing the wheel. It is not trying to make grand changes in America. It is however seeking a “back to basics” point of view in American politics.
The Florida Tea political Party is the first step in returning to the check and balances called for in the American Constitution.
TEA seeks a return to governance per the Constitution instead of the current rule per corporation by laws.
It’s a K.I.S.S. moment. TEA is here to help all Americans remain American. When folks can check their EGO at the door, we will move forward.

Free market principles apply to politics and voting in my opinion. If the some other 3rd parties don’t have their acts together, are not building PRAGMATIC leadership and an organization, and not MARKETING themselves, they will indeed could be surpased by a new upstart group or existing group, whether a PAC or political party. Internal improvements first and then work on candidates. Frankly, 3rd parties should have been working on infrastructure the past 2 of years at minimum. If some are, they will be fine.
“Grow a pair” comes to mind. This is business/politics.
Do we really need splintered 3rd parties working for the same thing? If we put our resources behind one party we may be better off. There are plenty of groups, working to get us back to the Constitution, like libertarians.
A legitimate source of behavior promotes greater happiness than expected when an elite few claim to be rulers of the lesser many. It is the Golden Rule given us by the Nazarene Carpenter and the notion that “I’m OK, you’re OK,†described by the Transactional Psychologists. Americans are on an even plane, a level playing field, no better or worse than our fellows, except in how we each use our inequalities, values, interests, skills, talents and aspirations along with our mental and physical gifts, and in how others use theirs. I never look down at another, but have occasion to look up in admiration of the successes of another. Life and opportunity are the gifts each day, and how I use them are the behaviors that matter, to me as well as those closest to me. I am ruled by written laws as well, each based on individual freedom being the best political foundation. So, then, why should we be dismayed at the powerful trying to herd us into a collective herd that has no admiration for the capacity of each individual to bring to the table a better way of life? It is not OK, that’s why! Claysamerica.com
#5 I totally agree with you about the LP.
But, until states start to organize better, until the LP markets itself better, and until some members (or some states) get into the real-world and out of some Ayn Rand book of utopia, it will not be accepted by most of America.
Never in history has the LP had such an opportunity. History will show that they evolved into a major player or they “blew it” and were surpassed by some other group. Balls in the court of the LP. Game on.
Every two years ‘the LP has never had such an opportunity’ —– same ole, same ole
The idea that pretending it’s the 18th century will solve 21st century problems is a dangerous delusion. In 1776, 90% of Americans lived and worked on farms; today it’s 1%. We’d better look around today’s world and find what really works (hint: Investments in physical and human infrastructure) rather than looking to the past.
#8 Edison said the definition of insanity was . . .
Time for the LP to reinvent itself. 38 years and counting.
#10 That was Einstein, not Edison.
Correcto, it was Einstein. I had too many lightbulbs going off in my head at one time.
For folks lacking in political history —
British 1773 Tea Tax Act — one more business- as- usual party hack law — despite all sorts of warnings in 1764-1773
Dec 1773 Boston Tea Party – dumping of British tea in Boston harbor
1774 British party hack INTOLERABLE Acts – trying to take over Mass.
19 Apr 1775 Battles of Lexington and Concord, Mass.
May 1775 Second Continental Congress — with the political lightning bolt news from Mass. — EMERGENCY formation of the Army of the *United* STATES of America.
Aug 1775 British King George III declares the colonies in a state of rebellion
4 July 1776 SCC — Declaration of Independence by the *United* STATES of America — see the 2nd and last paragraphs especially.
A LONG and bloody WAR — until U.S.A. – France victory at Yorktown, VA 19 Oct 1781
U.S.A. – Great Britain 1783 Peace Treaty.
Remember the cost in American dead and injured — limited prisoners taken – mass U.S.A. deaths in British prisoner ships in N.Y. harbor — few survivors with major wounds.
Deja vu all over again — with the party hacks in D.C. especially ???
