Is the Tea Party Revolution Imploding?
Tenth Amendment Center ^ | 07-23-2010 | Darla Dawald

Posted on 07/23/2010 9:53:32 AM PDT by RepublicnotaDemocracy

This movement is you, your family, your friends and your neighbors in the street making a difference. It is the people calling, signing petitions, blogging and doing everything in their power to make a difference in their communities and states. Those are the things that will change Washington, DC, not a person on a news show. FOX News does not lead us, the Republican Party does not lead us, it is you who awoke and said “I can make a difference” and you certainly are making that difference.

Will the Tea Party Revolution implode or continue to gain steam? That depends on you. As far as leaders go, if you want to see the real leaders of the movement, simply walk into your restroom and look in the mirror. You are the People who make the movement. You are the leaders. You are “We the People”. What do you say we keep it that way?

I am the tea party.
I am not imploding.
Any more questions?

While I’m at it- is the tea party racist?

No I am not.

So you alone, eh?

Sorry, but I’ll back the article—that urges people to continue to spread the word to our fellow Americans—rather than put all my hopes on you.

We have a winner!

The people unable to co-opt the movement for their own political ends , conclude it no longer exists.

There are a lot of people who are trying really hard to smear the Tea Party as being racist. I saw a Facebook photo album called “Tea Party Posters” suggesting to send the pics to everyone for use as rally posters. It has some of the most horrible stuff you can imagine. I reported it to FB, don’t know if they will do anything about it.

The most enjoyable part of our month here has come to be the monthly tea party meeting.

No, not me alone you silly.

The point is, I am often amused by the liberal MSM’s pontifications on the tea party which do nothing more than elbaborately articulate their gargantuan misunderstanding of it.

The November Tsunami cometh, and they are still oblivious to it.

I’m the Tea Party and I’m doing fine. My group meets once a week and we’re as stoked as ever.

You don’t get it. He is saying the Tea Party is made up of individuals with a like mind.

I believe that many of us have Obama to thank for the Tea Party's growing success.

All that talk of "Change" without the real change that Americans have longed for.

All that "we are the ones we have been waiting for" without actually giving the power to those it may have resonated with.

Good words, without a solid foundation or direction.

Americans are the foundation of what makes America strong. And Americans are being inspired towards true change, to recapture what has been lost over the years.

The Tea Party isn't going away any time soon. Indeed, the Tea Party is simply a return to being America.
