If the tea party wasn’t effective then Romney, Rove and Obama and the media would not be so against it.
Right now tea party politicians are leading a powerful opposition to the left and rinoism.
You may be right about that but certainly the Tea Party gave rise to Ted Cruz and others who were instrumental in squelching gun control in the Senate.
For all its bluster?
I seem to recall that quite a few republicans bit the dust because of the TEA party. Remember when everyone was talking about holding the politicians’ feet to the fire? It seems to me that the only ones doing that are the TEA parties.
You can tell who the left is worried about by counting the number of stories they publish saying who they are not worried about. Neither they nor the GOPe have yet to stop griping about the TEA party and the govt. has targeted them with most of their investigating and regulating agencies. So yes, they are still quite worried.
When the TEA parties say that they are angrier than before, the republicans should be very, very worried.
The Tea Party definitely slowed the Obammunist agenda with the a** whupping it helped deliver in 2010. It was only when, for whatever reason, the Tea Party went "behind the scenes" that it lost its effectiveness. The Tea Party's power came from being loud, being visible, being out in the streets and on the local news TV screens. Unless it (we) returns to the streets, the Tea Party will continue to be a footnote.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
A little thing that had to do with help from 0’s friends at the IRS comes to mind...
In 2010, the TEA Party put the brakes on Obama’s unbridled socialism.
They were, then, thwarted by Obama’s government.........unlawfully.
The Republicans knew about the Obama government’s unlawful dealings with the TEA Party, but did nothing about it.
They feel just as threatened as the dems do.......and rightly so.
