I think when Sarah left the race, it took a lot of wind out of our sails.
You obviously no nothing of the Tea Party. We can’t march, or occupy DC every damned second of every damn day! We have to go to work; we have to see over our families, and households; we are the responsible.
We do write our legislators, both conservative, and communist, and give them the what for when they F¥< up. We meet locally to build solutions to local issues, and uplift potential candidates.
Reid is a Commie Putz...don’t fall for his, and the lamestream medias lies...they are designed to dispirit, an demorallize. Looks like it is working on some.
But I believe Bachmann should be given some credit here for being a spokesperson for the values of the Tea Party. The Tea Party and/or a group called the The American Majority [in 7 states] and "trains" members for their part in the Tea Party--am confused--President Ned Ryun said Bachmann should step down, and get behind Governor Perry?
I guess Palin also agreed and told the press corps"it was not Bachmann's time".
Bachmann fought a strong race and should be congratulated for it. Palin was never in this Republican presidential race that I saw--she chose to be a Fox News government expert and analyst.
The Tea Party self named leader in my state which really had little influence, tried to say it helped the Governor pull of his election win-but of course did not and the governor was quick to say the same.. really the group was in name only living off the fame of the Original grass roots group. Now this leader has decided to drop his association with the TP as he might run for the Senate.. some of these leaders can get full of themselves even in the Tea Party.
But compare the Tea Party Grassroots Movement to the #OWS? In the Tea Party you had a successful and orderly revolution which made a difference for recognized change.
The #OWS made a lot of press, got loaded, seduced under-aged girls, seized property for their encampments, broke a zillion laws, defecated on police cars [not dead terrorists] --and accomplished?
Oh the Tea Party is still here, we just don’t have the time to “occupy” a park, a bank branch, or an empty house, all for the media. We prefer to use our resources with maximum effect, occupying the voting booth.
