Well the tea Party Leader we were waiting for Punted and ran with her tail between her legs and we are left with a Bunch of Buffoons who are tearing each other up because they think they can all waltz into the White House because Obama is such a weak President and they will not move aside so that one person could gather all the Conservative vote and Clobber that fraud Romney. This circus of a Republican Primary is depressing because all it is doing is Letting Obama go on Vacation,Flout the Constitution and see his Popularity go up because not ONE of the Republican Morons will bring any of it up. NOT ONE Question on his flouting of the Constitution at the debate last night!!Absolutely amazing ,Boy are we SCREWED

There’s that.

Another major factor IMO is how little the tea partied-up Congress has done—absolutely nothing to cut spending or defund Obamacare, to start.

You are reading the tea leaves incorrectly. The Establishment Republicans are having a hard time getting their guy on the throne. They may be successful but the writing is on the wall for the RINO Party.

No, he isn’t right. And that’s why there is such a strong anti-Romney contingent. But we’ve lost the two front runners (IMO) - Sarah Palin and Herman Cain...and Michelle Bachman, who first brought the Tea Party caucus and gave us a legitimate voice. We are fighting our own establishment, something Sarah did first hand when she took office. We have to continue that fire.

I’m sick of these debate moderators and yet the candidates and the establishment LET THEM DO IT OVER AND OVER. THe same tired, Leftie questions and attempted ‘gotcha’ moments.

Dammit, I want a series of debates among the candidates..and ultimately against 0bama, chaired and moderated by Rush Limbaugh..and a panel of Mark Levin, Mark Steyn, James Pethokoukis and others. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET OUR TURN TO ASK REAL QUESTION OF CONSEQUENCE AND HEAR THESE CANIDATES RESPOND??? When?

BS- The TEA PArty is not an organized group as much as it is a ‘concept’ that we are tired of washington

We are stronger than ever and the establisment GOP is NOT getting their selected candidate to experience smooth sailing BECAUSE OF US

We have to defeat the GOP Party Establishment before we defeat Obama, and it is time we started treating the GOP that way!

Tennessee Tea Party disbanded

This is nonsense. Some wack job who said he quit because "God" told him to. Plenty of other Tea Party groups left in TN.

It died because we have no legitimate spokesperson running for president.


We had Palin and Cain, both proud to be associated with the Tea Party. It is not our fault they were not up to the task. We believed in them. I didn’t care if Cain had that 13 year affair. We needed him anyway. And palin’s family was very similar (as her reason for choosing not to serve us) to the family she had the previous three years when she spent a lot of tome serving us and setting a path of stone to dc.

The Tea party people are there, but many Democrats are crossing over to vote in Republican races because Obama has no opposition.

I think a contributing factor to the TP going MIA is related to GB leaving Fox News. He sort of kept the spirts up.

Hell no he is not right... the TEA Party is doing what it can do during a primary... protesting in the streets and holding rallies will do nothing. IF we win this election... the repubic leaders will KNOW that we still exist... and if they ignore us... they will feel pain as they have never envisioned.

You are correct but it will become a viable party on its own if the republicons continue their brand of evil communism.

The reports of our death are greatly exaggerated.

We do not have to go third party... we will destroy the republicon machine and seize the power of the party... if they somehow win this election and ignore us again... and we can do it. TEA Party will declare war if the progressive leadership ignores us again. There will be no mercy and no quarter given.

“Plenty of other Tea Party groups left in TN.”
_______________________________________

I suspected there were, but I have been out of the country
since 2004, long before there was a Tea Party.

If I had the money, I would love to be at a major Tea Party event, but I am so very far away.

Newt is a consistent Mitt downer. He is in full mitt attack mode more or less all the time

Some people do not understand that the tea party is not about news media attention and million man rallies. That is how it launched (I was there) and it was an exciting time. But like college, it doesn't die. The Tea Party was about awakening, education, a recommitment to fiscal values, etc. your education does not die just because you graduate. What you learned is internalized. Look at the gun sales! Look at the Santorum vote in Iowa. The polls are what the media thinks... But the actions we see is the result of the (internalized education) if the Tea Party.

The media would rather we march and make sound bytes. But the revolution has happened. People are not going to accept fiscal irresponsibility anymore. Just sit back and watch... The Tea Party didn't die, it is alive and well at the grass roots level ... Just watch.
