Does the tea party still have the juice?

Who do you think writes these types of articles? Lefties of course. Anytime they say they’re righties you can bet they are really liberals posing as conservatives to distribute propaganda. I see it all the time. You have to dig a little but the truth always outs them.

Graham has been saturating the airways here in the Columbia area with ads supposedly showing what a great conservative he is. I hope I’m wrong, but I expect that people with only a superficial interest in politics — that is, most persons — will fall for it.

I’m pessimistic about the right having long term success — either inside or outside the Republican party — as long as the left controls the schools, the mainstream media, and pop culture. We can denounce RINOs to our hearts’ content on sites like this, but most persons don’t even know what a RINO is (they also don’t know that the Democrats suck).

Who has that “We the people” tsunami pic they can put up?

Your post is true for Upstate TV as well. Probably worse on cable/sattelite but I wouldn't know anymore.

Resist the pessimism; could be allergies instead.

The ‘Tea Party’ candidates might not win, but they’ll at least bring up subjects the establishment GOP would just as soon not discuss. This will get some voters thinking, and even if the more conservative candidate doesn’t win, the issues will have been raised, and start being discussed.
