I wouldn't need Palin, Romney or Paulenty if I had a Dick Armey!

In all seriousness I like her because the way she governed, like a small government libertarian. She made sure Alaskan government ran a clean house and that the people got their money and kept it. That is all thats important.

Also, she's in the liberals OODA loop. They fear her, and I'm cool with that too.

When Palin goes to Arizona to endorse Mccain , she is going to draw the line in the sand between the tea bag party and the republican party , and she is going to come out with the short end of the stick ! Mccain is a luke warm liberial and he needs to be kicked to the curb ! Vote all the bums out !

I'd like to add that Mitch Daniels is a great candidate though. His record in Indiana as Governor is the most impressive of any I've seen. I don't know if he'd run, but I think he'd be great.

I agree about Pawlenty, he'd be a disaster.

I do not think right now that Palin would be a good nominee for the party, but that could change.

That said, I dislike Dick Armey for something else he did recently. He's behind this new "Contract from America" thing, that is supposed to be a list of items that politicians agree to support, devised and voted on by citizens. The Fairtax was number 1 on that list, until one day it disappeared. Armey (a flat tax proponent) probably took issue with it being so popular and made an executive decision to remove it. So the list isn't exactly what he said it would be.

The reasoning from the Contract from America group was that it didn't want to create a divide between flat taxers and fairtaxers, which I understand. I just think that if the flat tax had been number one on the list, Armey wouldn't have removed it. I'm still supportive of the Contract from America, but I don't like the idea of leaders forming and taking it over. This movement was so powerful because of it's organic uprising without leaders, just ideas. We risk losing that if guys like Armey are really making the decisions and letting tea partiers be tea partiers as long as they don't interfere with his plans.

Armey was Newt Gingrich's right hand man. He is not an unknown and was instrumental in the republicans gaining the first majority in 40 years back in '94. Not sure about his picks or his angle at this point, but he's not irrelevant as you seem to paint him.

You certainly sound like you're 20 to disregard him so quickly.

I think it's MUCH MORE SAD for those who are JUST NOW really getting around to the Tea Party movement to begin with.

I've been a part of it back when Bush was still in office when it was UNDERGROUND.

When I started seeing it on Fox News and these other news networks, I started to grow weary and starting with Glenn Beck & Sarah Palin...NOW THIS GUY...yeah. I was RIGHT to be weary.

I hate to say it, but the Tea Party of today is starting to deteriorate BECAUSE of it's allowing of these famous people to speak out for them. It LETS these "big wigs" take the stage and...it's only a matter of time before it becomes overcommercialized.

Not to mention that Harry Reid's using FAKE Tea Party candidates in Nevada is FURTHER proof.

If it was still the grassroots movement that it was back in 2006 and 2007, then it'd have JUST the right amount of attention without the "Who's gonna lead it?" discussion that's going on and the targeting from Harry Reid and others who seek to use them for 3rd party vote-sifoning (not sure if I spelled that right).
