I think the next 4 years have the potential to be a very dark time for the U.S.. Those entrenched do not give up power so easily.

It died because we have no legitimate spokesperson running for president. Why aren’t the non-Romney clowns consistently and rabidly attacking Romney on his record as a governor in MA? This debate was pathetic, and they are handing Romney the nomination. They’ve had 14 debates to take him down and they haven’t laid a hand on him. What a bunch of clowns.

OBAMA”CARE” IS A MONOPOLY, AND THEREFORE VIOLATES THE ANTI-TRUST LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

BTW, remember that the TEA Party used to be the Silent Majority. Some habits are hard to break.

It is impossible to maintain that kind of intensity for two full years. Especially, if you have a job and a family to support.

But, so far as I can tell, the infrastructure is still there...and functioning.

Wait until June. The campaign will have heated up, the lines will be drawn more clearly...and people will have more time to re-address their political interests.

When all of the hard work to get conservatives elected in 2010, came to naught because the weak, effete, Republican elite, led by Democrat plant Crybaby Boehner, directed their efforts into supporting Obama’s agenda, some decided that the struggle was not worth it. They can hardly be blamed. Without cleaning out the traitorous Republican “leadership” in Congress, electing a different president will have little effect.

The Tea Party is not dead by a long shot, and the fate of 0bamacare is yet to be decided.

The Tea Party is alive and well. Even if there is never another big gathering, the ideas and ideals of traditional American values, Freedom and limited government by the people will live on.

He may be.
A part of it could be that having sent a promising group to DC in 2010, and then to see most of that New Freshmen class be co-opted and turned by Bonehead and Cantor, may have depressed many of us. We send them. Bonehead turns them.

Those who “support” the Tea Party have jobs and don't have the same “forum” as last year, at least not at this point in time.

Throw in the fact that attacks from all angles, including the MSM and dems all around the country deriding the Tea Party and you'll be seeing less and less of those who support the Tea Party actually speaking out as they will attempt to avoid anything that would bring them more negative press, even though I doubt that will stop the MSM from their mission to marginalize the Tea Party.

Perhaps it has run its course, but I hope not.

Perhaps the Tea Party will start getting organized into a viable third party to push the agenda of those in our country who are fed up with the status quo. It could likely easily supplant the GOP in time when you consider the reality that the GOP has no balls and is basically the moderate wing of the dem party.

It is time to replace the GOP with a party that represents the majority of Americans who are fed up with the status quo.

With well chosen Leaders of this party, the new party can finally agree on a platform that will represent us as we desire, not the other way around.

Too late for this go around, but we need to start it right now, and the GOP should be left to whither and fade away.

Wishful thinking, but it would be the best way to start dragging the country back from the brink of total collapse.

It didn't die, it became muddled in meaninglessness.
The tent got to wide and shallow.

Obama will polarize it again when we get our candidate.

If The GOP picks an establishment guy......we go third party.

There is not an alternative!!

Possibility.......Palin!

I predicted some time back that she will come in third party.(if a rino is nominated.) I'm sticking with this prediction.

The only effective candidate standing for the nom is Newt...baggage and all.

I brought Jim Thompson in on this statement because I want to be on record..dammit!

My sons and were watching the “debate” tonight. We’ve been horrified at the way the elites have hijacked the tea party and foisted their establishment candidate on us.

Somewhere along the way, with stealth, sneakiness and strategy, the elites have emasculated the tea party. They are not going to let anyone interfere with their corporate crony gravy train.

The MSM is in collusion with the country club elite Pubs to destroy the TEA party, and keep big government going. It’s shameful. The spirit of Washington and Jefferson has been all but destroyed in this country by greedy, big governments oligarchs.

I won’t vote for Romney.

Nope he is not right. Everyone knows bears hibernate in the winter time. Just wait for the Tea Party Spring.

The Tea party is an idea without known members. It’s out there. No Dues. No monthly meetings. Just a commitment to follow the Constitution.

Tea party isn’t dead, just reloading. Those who are getting cocky, do so at their own peril.
