The Apr. 15 Austin Tea Party had thousands. This one has maybe 500. I hope this doesn't mean that the movement is losing steam, because there now are even more D. C. outrages that will be especially hard on states like Texas.

IMO, he along with most of his colleagues deserve much more than being shouted down. DC is completely out of control.

These goobers who think they are going to be forgiven for coming out to a tea party to get their photo op are in for a rude awakening.

Good. I hope this becomes a trend wherever these morons decide to show up.

The problem is manifold.

He backed Specter until Arlen bit him right on the ass.
And I bet that he backed him the last time as well.
I'm also guessing that he is endorsing Crist 110%.

none of this is conservative.

Coryn got an earful from me after the TARP vote. Called him a “sell-out”, and pledged to vote him out in the 2014 primary

Cornyn is so low-key that it is amazing he has the stamina for politics. One thing for sure, he really likes it when a Democrat says something nice about him.

You really cant expect momentum to keep up for a movement that is really nothing more than street theater...

People get behind REAL movements for REAL change that achieve REAL goals that are MEANINGFUL. You gotta keep taking it to the next level to build momentum, but first... You gotta know where your going. State sovereignty from the marxist fedgov is the logical next step, in fact it the only step that will take us to the ultimate goal of freedom from the oppressive tyranny of the collective(marxism).

If your unwilling to achieve total freedom then all you will achieve is slavery, for yourself and your family. There is no half way, its everything or nothing.

Here in Huntsville we had a bigger turnout than we did Apr 15. My guess is 4-5,000. Good time.

It seems some were larger and some smaller, but all were more vocal than last time. This is good.

The lower turn-out was predictable, given the date chosen for the second round of tea parties. It's July, for goodness sake. Here in the DFW area, it was over 100 degrees on July 4th.

At the last minute, my wife and I reluctantly decided not to put our kids through that, yesterday. We missed one of the biggest tea parties in the nation yesterday, and it was right down the street from us.

I don't think enthusiasm for the Tea Party movement has waned. Organizers across the country simply picked a terrible day to hold this latest round.

Cornyn is a good ole’ boy country club republican like ronmney, mcaain, crist, and other RINOS. That is why Sarah Palin is not liked by a lot of them, she doesent play the the “rules” of the good ole’ boys club.

Before being co-opted by FOXNews and other MSM outlets as "anti-tax", the Tea Party Movement was a protest against a totally out of control government. The movement was started to get politicians to listen to US for a change. For the life of me I cannot understand why ANY Tea Party would invite ANY politician to speak.

Cornyn and Perry both need their ears pinned. I’m on the road this weekend. Sorry I missed it.
