Why do liberals need any new group when they have the unions?
To: mandaladon
Amazing how much space Politico devoted to the dissolution of this irrelevant, non-existent, unknown, non-entity...
oh yeah, this was Politico...

ousted board members Bahiya Cabral-Johnson, Teri Torres-Hart and Sabina VirgoThat's the problem, confusion with too many hyphenated names for leaders.

Quite humorous, in a Titanic sort of way.

Air America...Coffee Party...No Labels...The grass roots are dead, leftist wise. Only the hard core authoritarian topdown cadres of brownshirts survive.
To: mandaladon
A lack of civility, democracy, and consultation? Aren’t they just following the example of their president? Seems to me that he has been a stellar example of all three.

They were never real, just as the lipstick wears off a pg.

Painting a general picture of organizational chaos, they pointed to a lack of civility in the organization, a lack of democracy and a lack of consultation. How odd. It's the same problems that plague the democrat party and its followers.

This reminds me of the opening titles to The Holy Grail: All those responsible for sacking the previous group have just been sacked.

This is hilarious.
But the tea party itself is splintering.

The Tea Party is a philosophy, not a political party.
Political parties can splinter, philosophies cannot.
I consider myself a member of that philosophy, and the notion of leaders (delusional or not) is antithecal both to the spirit and the effectiveness of the truly "grassroots" nature of the continuing movement.
Countering that with just another Soros-funded attack by the "progressive/commuist/radical left is like trying to play "King Canute."
The day I start getting junk mail from the Tea Party is the day I disassociate myself from it. Wait. I just gave the insane left an effective strategy...
...never mind...
