Whistling past the graveyard.
The elections are right around the corner
The Tea Party is the new anti-establishment.
An establishment that is so thoroughly corrupt that it has abandoned the middle-class to cater to special interests. A government that has sold itself to the highest bidder. A government that has become so big, it is consuming everything in its path.
This is our “Chicago ‘68”
This Alinsky tactics at work
Fox News never airs the tea party response and in fact there were three other responses besides the GOP one. It doesn’t matter on bit. The tea party still is chugging along fine.

And Rush Limbaugh’s going off the air and Fox News had no viewers until a liberal Democrat (”almost as liberal as Nixon!”) was elected president....
What fools these liberals be.
You can write an article and declare a movement dead. Go ahead. Still you can’t force people to come out to vote or give up their money or time for a political party they don’t believe in. Not yet, anyway. Republicans won’t win elections by declaring the Tea Party dead.
Blah blah blah... blow it out your well worn politico arses. Ask schumer and reid if we are close to demise. WE ARE THE ONES YOU SHOULD WORRY ABOUT!
When politicians learn to uphold the Constitution!
What the pundits from both parties don’t realize is that the Tea Party is not like them. It is not a hierarchical organization, with a president, CEO, CIO, treasurer, etc.
At the same time, it *does* have an organization, but one that is alien to their way of thinking. Thus they cannot attack, subvert, corrupt, undermine, or betray it, as they could each others organizations.
A good analogy is that they continually fight a conventional war, but their enemy is unconventional. It is everywhere, and it is nowhere. And it is slowly, and methodically, defeating them.
It is not oriented to winning any great conventional battles just yet. Instead, it steadily erodes their strengths, making them weaker, and forcing them to commit increasing resources that accomplish less and less.
And when it finally fights in a conventional way, it will be at the Republican National Convention. It will take the convention, and then it will purge the RINO old guard from power. Many of them will hang on at first, but will lose their taste for battle when they find themselves relegated to the back bench, their opinions rejected, and then just ignored.
At some point, their big money supporters will panic, realizing that they, too, have their access to government money on the line. That when the RINOs are gone, the gravy train is over. And because the Tea Party will remember their perfidy, against not just the Tea Party, but against the nation, such fat cats will soon be fighting with the ally cats for garbage can scraps.
The establishment in both major parties are scared to death of the Tea Party. The Tea Party has the potential to unite people on issues where the democrat and republican parties exist to divide us. This keeps the people weak and the govt all powerful. It really, really scares them. Their world would come to an end if the Tea Party took over govt.
It’s way past time to remind the gutter scum in DC that they derive their power from the consent of the governed!
Today we seek to clarify the US Constitution and also face two institutional layers. I pray resolution comes without martyrdom.
What a surprise!!!
