Ray McKinney, a fiscal conservative hawk and long time patriot in the movement, finished the primary with 42.6% of the vote. The second place goes to Carl Smith, who pulled 27.9%, creating a runoff election scheduled for August 10.

Liberty First PAC and the Patriot Caucus have supported Ray McKinney from the day he decided to run for Congress, and we’re proud to continue supporting his candidacy into the general election and beyond.

Liberty First PAC is currently hosting a fundraiser to raise $5,000 to spend in the Georgia race. Our intention is to contribute $1,000 directly to the campaign and spend $4,000 in independent expenditures to promote Ray to the voters in Georgia.

Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute said, “The Tea Party movement is mostly made up of people who consider themselves Republicans. They are less educated but more interested in politics than the average Joe and Jane Six-Pack and are not in a traditional sense swing voters.” He went on to mention the concern of many in the TPM and confirm what many in the Democratic Party already know, “The Tea Party could be a Republican dream — or a GOP nightmare. Members could be a boon to the GOP if they are energized to support Republican candidates. But if the Tea Party were to run its own candidates for office, any votes its candidate received would to a very great extent be coming from the GOP column.”

To some, the results are actually quite surprising with the thought that the percentage of those in the TPM who are Republicans or independent voters leaning Republican would be much higher. Instead we learn 74% are Republicans or independent voters leaning Republican; 16% are Democrats or independent voters leaning Democratic; and 5% are solidly independent. 15% even voted to Barack Obama.

Why even take the time to mention such a poll as this? Its importance and supposed “revelations into the TPM” are being super-imposed by the far left into the minds of the American people as if “now you can believe what we have been trying to tell you all along.” In large part, the poll does tell us what many already knew in the same way that a poll of Acorn would confirm what we already knew about them, or a poll of the American Civil Liberties Union, or a poll of the NEA, or a poll of The League of Democrat Women Voters. The point made is this: “every group has a set of its own personal demographics which it is defined by – whether accurately or inaccurately.”

The TPM is not just a movement that has risen up against Obama the man; though he obviously plays a significant role due to his left wing principles and policies. Voices were beginning to rise in the TPM while George Bush was still in office and the stimulus/bail out money was first being discussed. There were people at those early Tea Parties booing Bush and holding up signs opposing the TARP Bill. People were just as “against” big government and “for” personal freedoms then, as they are now; but they were individual voices rather than a united front that the news media had not yet picked up on.

Why are the Quinnipiac results getting so much attention by the left leaning news media and blogging world? The answer is simple – it serves to confirm what they want confirmed. Why no exploitation of the polling results from CNN and the Opinion Research Corporation which found that 11% of Americans said they have given money, attended rallies or taken other “active steps” to support the Tea Party movement? Of that 11%, more identified themselves as independent (52%) than Republican (44%) or Democratic (4%). We could make the same argument from a number of other polls as well.

Let’s just be realistic about it. Most people (including the independents) who are active in the TPM are going to vote for the GOP candidate in their congressional district if there is no electable third-party candidate running with a Tea Party identity. Why? Because principle is more important than party! When the curtain comes down at the end of the day, the TPM is going to lean Republican because the Democrats are leaning too far left and do not represent the principles and values of those within the TPM. That is not an issue we should be in a state of denial over, nor should we recoil when it is called out by the liberal media pundits.

It is rather interesting that the liberal left, including Harry Reid in the Nevada Senate race, pay no attention and give no credence to the polls until the polls are confirming what they are saying. This is why the recent Quinnipiac poll became such a big deal.

The latest GBT polling reported by Gallup shows the Republicans leading the Democrats 48%-44%. This is the third week in a row that the Republicans have either been tied with or ahead of the Democrats. If the voting follows the current polling trend, it could mean a significant change of balance in the House. Lydia Saad of Gallup said the only times in recent memory that Republicans carried a sustained edge in the generic ballot question — “Would you vote for a Republican or Democratic candidate for Congress if the election was today?” or language similar to that — were in 1994 and 2002. In each year, Republicans either scored significant gains in the House and Senate (1994) or beat back historical midterm election trends (2002).

Saad went on to say, “The results — when based on likely voters shortly before Election Day — have proved, historically, to be a highly accurate predictor of the national two-party vote. This, in turn, bears a close relationship to the post-election party division of House seats.”

There are a number of Generic Ballot Test polls taking place including one by CNN, which has a largely Democratic following. In the CNN poll, the Democrats are leading the Republicans 50%-46% which is not a large difference considering the demographics of the CNN adherents. Further, it goes to show just how important it is going to be in “getting the voters out” for the General Election in November with the overall polls running so close. With that in mind – Saad wrote, “Gallup will not begin identifying likely voters for the 2010 midterms until later in the year. However, at this early stage, Republicans show much greater enthusiasm than Democrats about voting in the elections. Enthusiasm among members of both parties peaked shortly after passage of the healthcare reform bill on March 21, but has since tapered off slightly.”

Mixed in were a few right wing extremists, who were very small in number – usually five or less, with ten at the max. They usually had their own agenda and did not represent the ideology of the hundreds of other Americans represented at the rallies. In the beginning of the Tea Party Movement, the extremists garnered scant attention and the rallies themselves were considered to be small, temporary and insignificant by the liberal left. Over the past year, the liberal left has been forced to recognize the power and influence of the Tea Party Movement – seeing it as a “voter bloc threat” in the 2010 election cycle which cannot be ignored.

Though the liberal left has come to understand the Tea Party Movement is not going away and they are powerless to stop it, they are doing everything possible to discredit it in the eyes of the average uninformed American. By definition for the purposes of this context, the “average uninformed American” is someone whose knowledge of politics and policy issues is solely derived from the news media without personal involvement, information and interaction.

The news media is plugged into the vulnerability of the “average uninformed American” and is exploiting its coverage to that end with a liberal slant. If 5,000 people are at a rally with five extremists in the crowd carrying “far right extreme” or “nazi-themed” signs, the five extremists will be exploited in such a way as to represent all 5,000 people present.

We have been warned that there will be infiltrators among us at our Tea Party rallies this Thursday. They are what they are, and they do not represent us. They will try to catch us in a trap, whether by our actions, our signs or our words. Word has it that they will be bringing their own signs in case ours do not accomplish their purposes. What Harry Reid said of the opposition to Heath Care was not true about us, but it is true about those who plan to crash the tea parties. Reid said, “those opposed health care reform were a loud minority.” I suspect the tea party crashers will be just that.

By all means go to your local tea party rallies, hold up your signs, let your passion for your country be seen, speak with a true patriot’s heart – but do not allow anyone to exploit you. As a matter of fact, the best defense against the actions and agendas of the “crashers”, “protestors”, “infiltrators” or whatever you may call them, is to give them the least possible attention or even the excuse to draw attention. The news media is sure to be lurking around for a juicy “slanted to the left” piece of news. It would be an honor to disappoint them.
