As
reported by FiredUp Missouri, Michelle Bachmann is coming to St. Louis this weekend to campaign for Roy Blunt. Many tea parties across the state have reacted with outrage,
saying that they are "shocked." Here's the full quote from Franklin County Tea Party leader Jebidiah Smith:
Roy Blunt voted for TARP and Cash for Clunkers. For Michele Bachmann to come to Missouri and give the impression that all the Missouri Tea Parties support Roy Blunt is an abomination of everything we have been standing up for.

full press release lists the following groups as having signed on to the letter:

Notably absent is the St. Louis Tea Party, who as I've pointed out many times, threatened to "
go after" Blunt if he didn't support Doug Hoffman in New York 23 but then were
too cowardly to do
anything when Blunt completely brushed off their threat. The St. Louis Tea Party is different from most other tea parties in many ways: one of which is that they are more willing to simply be an arm of the Republican Party establisment rather than a group that actually demands that Republicans live by their stated values. Perhaps that's why they
brag about ostracizing any fellow conservatives who
ask questions about their group.
