Proving there’s never a dull day in Montana politics, the Montana Tea Party Coalition (MTPC) is somewhat up in arms over reports that certain candidates are being portrayed in the media as “Tea Party Candidates.”
The way it looks to us outsiders is that MTPC is kind of like the “Mothership” for the Tea Party groups in Montana. They contend to be “a loosely organized coalition of Tea Party organizations from around the state.”
So they (MTPC) issued a press release. You can read it HERE. They say, “Tea Party groups as a matter of policy do not endorse, support or oppose any candidate for public office or support or oppose any political party.”
Tom Balek, from the “Rockin’ On The Right Side” blog wrote about the issue HERE saying, “there are ZERO ‘Tea Party Candidates’ in Montana” and ends his column with, “And please guys, next time you have an issue or a question about the Tea Party, would you just call us and ask?”
