What there was couldn't have lasted long anyway. I knew this "movement" was more or less over when they, the movement against big, intrusive government decided to protest big intrusive government by going to said big government and begging for permission (permits for protests) and favors (special tax treatment). Here's a hint...if you're asking for permission, it's not a protest.
Then you get throngs of "tea party" people getting behind the likes of michelle bachman. Really...? Michelle f-ing bachman? The career IRS auditor who made a "small government" name for herself by voting for the patriot act and against cutting off funding for obama's NSA program that records all of our phone calls and emails. Yeah, didn't see the collapse of this movement coming, did we?
when Palin wouldn't get on the debate stage with that bunch of palookas.
I went to a number of Tea Party rallies here in WA state. I told the spousal unit, after the second one, they seems to be a platform for rino republicans to gain street cred with us protestors. Many long winded speeches, none inspiring nor credible.
And I also noticed that so many people at the rallies would come up to one another and say “cool sign” and so forth. It was too social and not angry enough. (speaks to your comments)
I think for there to be real protest against the liberals that will affect change, old fashioned civil disobedience - for starters - need to happen.
The TEA Party sees NO leadership in the RINO Congress.
For example, there is a sinister nature to the Benghazi Massacre and the on-going Coverup.
Why has Speaker John “Cave In” Boehner opposed forming a Benghazi House Special Committee or appointing a Special Prosecutor, both with subpoena powers?
John “Cave-In” Boehner has proven for 4 + YEARS to be a failure as a REPUBLICAN Speaker of The House.
B. Hussein Obama has used Boehner as a “discussion” doormat, EVERY time!
This also calls into question why the Republican Members of The House have chosen to face the upcoming 3 week “Budget” Battle with a proven loser as their Speaker.
Has the desire by House Republicans to lose become insatiable?
Why should ANY voter vote ever again for a Bi-Partisan, Cave-In, Welfare Republican, commonly called the disgusting name of RINO?
The Tea Party’s greatest victory so far: pushing an Amnesty Bill through the Senate.
