Arrest warrant issued for Tea Party U.S. Senate candidate

[WillowTree]

If you were to read the story, it seems this guy isn't even a real Tea Party candidate.


"We at the Tea Party Express have a message for Scott Ashjian, who has been trying to pretend he's involved in the Tea Party movement: get lost," says a political advertisement that's airing on TV.

I don't understand what party he is from but the Tea party express disowns him.

the democwats don't operate on facts, but fweeeewings..

That there are those that try to use a movement, doesn't make them part of the movement.

THE POLITICAL EYE: Skeptics question Tea Party of Nevada

National movement suspicious of U.S. Senate candidate

By KRISTI JOURDAN

LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
He's a Las Vegas businessman who owns an asphalt company and has real estate holdings. And he's a political newcomer.

Other than that, Scott Ashjian, the rumored U.S. Senate candidate for the newly formed Tea Party of Nevada, remains something of a mystery.

Ashjian is expected to file March 1 to run against U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Republican challenger in the November general election. But Ashjian has remained quiet about his campaign, giving cryptic e-mail interviews and hardly returning phone calls.

Barry Levinson, a lawyer, registered Democrat and secretary of the Tea Party of Nevada, said he "represents the candidate" and wants to help his longtime friend get elected.

However, representatives of the national tea party movement say Levinson's political affiliation raises red flags and that the group is working to reelect Sen. Harry Reid by dividing the conservative vote.

"That's not true," Levinson said. "(Ashjian's) in it to win."

National tea party organizations are distancing themselves from the local U.S. Senate campaign using the "tea party" banner.

The Tea Party of Nevada filed with the secretary of state in January to create a new political party, which aims to "promote this nation's founding principles of freedom, liberty and a small representative government."

However, the group has no known ties with national tea party organizations, which emerged to protest the government's $787 billion stimulus package. The groups usually support fiscal conservatism and are against taxation...

The Tea Baggers were hell bent on splitting the conservative vote, thus assuring a Reid victory. Now, with no Tea Bagger candidate to run against the GOP candidate, it is no longer a sure win for Reid.

Gay people and women wanted this guy?

Shiteater, you get more delussional by the day.

The Tea Party is apolitical. Their purpose is to evaluate all candidates and endorse a particular candidate regardless of that candidates political affiliation.

Reid gets a break. Dunno if it will really help him but it could.

How would it help him?

Reid hasn't been a sure win in Nevada for a couple of years. It certainly isn't because this jerk got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

You can't be 'apolitical' and do all the things you are claiming here. Whenever you evaluate and endorse candidates, you're being political!!!

From Wikipedia:

"The state or quality of being apolitical can be the apathy and/or the antipathy towards all political affiliations."

What things are we claiming?

You haven't a clue to what the tea parties are, by evidence of this post.

Who have the Tea Partiers "endorsed"?

The Tea Party is NOT a political affiliation. Tea PARTIES are gatherings of people who are disgusted with those in office and who are seeking NEW CANDIDATES of any party to run for office.

It really isn't that difficult to understand.
