Heck, the game was just beginning and the Tea Party pulled up the stakes and crept away into hiding.

WHY??? I never could figure it out. The Tea party was responsible for us taking the house in 2010, then they sort of fizzled out. When you have momentum, you never, ever slow down or stop. I find it very weird.
A “mob” showed up in Washington DC September 2009. It was made up of regular middle-class folks concerned about the direction Obama was taking the country with his takeover of healthcare, and his lack of fiscal restraint with our money. Whoever the “powers-that-be” are got scared. These people who were mad enough to spend their own money to get there are the backbone of the country. The “powers” didn’t want to hear any talk of “revolution” coming from them. Suddenly the narrative turned to making change thru elections. Tea party candidates won in 2010. Now it appears the Dems and Rinos are trying to triangulate them out of existence as “racists” and “those who will not compromise.” Then they can get back to business as usual. They know from past experience that people have short memories. My feeling is change will come only when people feel their personal lives are being threatened in some way. The media will continue their happy talk up until the election so everyone stays calm and goes along with the program, thinking things are getting better. If Obama is re-elected-—I don’t like to think about what will happen.....
We think everything can be accomplished playing by the rules.
We can only maintain electricity and excitement for short periods of time.
The Left is in revolution mode for the long haul.
Our side is blind to it: still playing by the rules.
We’re cloberring our conservative candidates to death right now.
Yes, the GOP-E is the stupid party: it wants Romney.
Why? Because a lot of legislators are middle-class going in, and very rich coming out. Holding to principle is hard when abandoning it is very, very lucrative.
