The country is already screwed . We are working to make it unscrewed . It will take time & hard work to undo the deliberate destruction of our country & to reverse the intentional miseducation of several generations about just what the ideas that were the bedrock of this nation actually were .

Study them yourself & then teach them to others .This is what scare the communists/fascist in the party of Slavery,Socialism & Sodomy . The communist agitator Van Jones has even admitted as much .

KEEP THE FAITH ,KEEP AGITATING FOR THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY IN THE END WE WILL WIN .

“I don’t know if it’s dead but it sure fizzled under a one-name umbrella.”

If you want to see a disorganized mess, drop in at the local Occupy Wallstreet circus. And the last time the fat SEIU pigs tried to crash a Tea Party in my neighborhood, they were pissing in their pants and begging for the cops to rescue them.

“Easy answer - none of the candidates warranted tea party support, and that’s especially true of the three left standing. There were no Rand Pauls or Mike Lees in the race. Focus on the senate and house races - that way it will be easier to keep whichever president is in the white house honest.”

It would be good if we could have these civil discussions and respect each other. I like Rand and Mike Lee a lot. I’m also sympathetic to many of Ron Paul’s views and I was completely behind a healthy, well-healed Rick Perry. I don’t mind if we have a genuine floor fight over genuine, well-qualified candidates. The ringers took away from that fight. They offered nothing and now we’re where we are. I still think we’re gonna make it ok.

Palin supporters were willingly blind in the leadup to this election cycle.

When asked why they thought she was running... the typical response was that “she went on tour in a bus and raised money, that’s why!”

And if anyone pointed out that she had no campaign organization dedicated to putting her name on each state’s ballot... the typical response was ‘BAN THE UNBELIEVER!!!’.

That alienated *MANY* people. Not Palin... and certainly not her message. Her supporters, on the other hand, definitely resembled Paultards in their rabidity.

Agree - well put. And I’d already forgotten about Rick Perry - he was probably the closest tea party candidate, but even he was a career politician and had some corporatist tendencies.

In Ohio, a ballot initiative that is unenforceable passed. And the tea parties were fairly quiet on that one too.

Why don’t they trot this propaganda out AFTER the primaries, instead of so early in the process? Oh, I forgot...lib press.

"Tea Party Dead?......LMAO!!!"

Strange... all I hear laughing is the GOP party with their White Horse candidate. And they are ignoring the Tea Party because they have them in their back pocket.

Wait, you will see the people all line up and pull for Shitz Romney. Even this site will encourage it.

Bookmark it folks.

Every freedom loving American has a stake in this fight!

Even those that live in Mississippi.

Your negativity is a bucket of piss thrown on the bonfire we must build.

I have to disagree

A TEA party march on the libtard media would be pointless- we know they are the enemey. (Yes, I DO consider The Media to be ‘the enemy’)

But a TEA party march on GOP headquarters would raise some eyebrows. I think we could even get Rush and Hannity to cover it LIVE
