“This is not the death of the Tea Party,” Martin said. “Tea Partiers will take over the Republican party in the next four years,” Viguerie said.

We fell in line like good soldiers, and now its time to either take control or take a hike.

I have said several times that, if Romney lost against the worst president in my lifetime, the GOP would split.

I think another tea rebellion is in the offing.

It will be difficult to institutionalize the tea party movement; an oxymoron even.

TP was successful because it was a massive truly grassroots uprising. Its strength came in large measure because it focused on one issue only: taxing to spend on big government.

It didn’t matter where you were on other issues, only that you agreed on the one big one. It had no leaders and needed none.

Now, imagine that in a party caucus. Imagine what happens when social issues are addressed and religious issues and foreign policy and defense issues.

Yours is my take as well...I said that if the GOP cannot beat the worst president in history, an utter failure, why would any GOP candidate win? Obama is the most corrupt, lying, incompetent piece of crap in history and quite frankly Romney was a much better candidate than I thought he would be. If the GOP wasn't able to pull this one off, as a political party the GOP is dead.

I intend to register as an independent next week...I will never support the "party" again...it is a losing effort.
