The main power of what Media has termed “Tea Party” has never been in the publicized ramblings and machinations of the myriad “Tea-Party Pseudonymed” wannabes that get the coverage.
The real power is in the disgust, dissatisfaction and tangible enmity of loosely affiliated Tea Party sympathizers - real normal Americans fed up with the Halfrican Muslim and his Democrat Party. These people are still here, surviving and waiting.
They intend to vote come November, and it doesn’t matter one tinker’s damn what any quasi-official “Tea Party” claimant organization says - they will not count in the end.
I agree. I put it this way:
The TEA party was and is simply a reflection of conservative voter discontent. That discontent is unchanged.
Harry’s whistling past the graveyard.
I think you’re right in that regard, I am certainly one of those who can’t wait to vote for whoever the Republican nominee is, in order to get rid of the worst and most destructive anti-American President of all time. It’s probably just the internecine warfare that has come to dominate FR lately that’s soured my perception a bit.
Disgust, dissatisfaction, and tangible enmity - we’ve sure got plenty of that! Thanks.
the MSM only interviews kooks who claim to be tea party leaders. They will have some nutter who is a tea party ron paul supporter who will say nobody will go out for anyone BUT kook paul or something along those lines.
The tea party was silent but is now a vocal majority. It is the majority that is unafraid to say in public what an incompetent Obama is. It is the majority that sees clearly the MSM is holding water for Obama. It is the majority that does not like or want Obama’s sexual enginieering in the military or marriage.

Obama has clearly proven not to be the "One they were waiting for". They intend to vote come November, and it doesn’t matter one tinker’s damn what any quasi-official “Tea Party” claimant organization says - they will not count in the end.
Yes. The Tea Party has been a spontaneous, openly expressed opposition to Obama's presidency, but never formally organized. It showed up in 2010 and it will show up in 2012.
Perhaps as important as the maintenance of Tea Party verve is what I see as further erosion, discontent, and disillusionment on the part of the left, which should manifest itself in depressed turnout in 2012.
Obama has clearly proven not to be the "one they were waiting for".
I agree wholeheartedly.
Many of the thousands who showed up for Tea Party rallies were what was once described as "the silent majority." Many of them were not political junkies (like we are) and had never before imagined in their wildest dreams taking to the streets, in a sense, to express their outrage. It was totally out of their realm of experience.
They made their voices heard, and now they're just waiting, still seething. Their minds haven't changed.
