Seems the tea party may be losing momentum after months of body blows by the media and politicians on both sides of the aisle.
This government must be brought under control and there is no way on God’s green earth that can be done if they are given even more money to waste.
If we do not starve fedzilla it will only continue to consume much more than we can afford.
When ALL foreign aid is eliminated, a huge reduction in our handouts to the UN is stopped, all our troops are returned from Germany, Japan, S. Korea and any place which is currently not a hot war, and not a single penny to anyone here who is not in the country legally... Then, and only then, start looking at domestic spending but still no more taxes PERIOD.
I don’t see the Tea Party losing momentum at all.
The fact that we are having a huge and robust debate on a major tax reform proposal says it all.
When Steve Forbes ran on the Flat Tax years ago, he couldn’t even get conservatives all that excited.
The time is now! And this thing is picking up steam, not losing it!
One of the things I easily predicted HERE last summer 2010 is that if Boehner takes the House from Pelosi the Tea Party will lose some momentum and energy and the other side will gain it in opposition as you see now.
Similarly I posted ~ April 2008 that Obama would win the election and become very unpopular fast in 2009. There is a certain natural dynamics to politics much like a run up in prices in an economy, then a crash.
