BUNK.
The Tea Party is getting stronger every day.
Just wait.
The teaparty and it’s friends only have to vote in force and mass and they will see.
The only thing that is wrong with the Tea Party, is that too many of them still think they can be the ‘silent majority’ and let everybody else do the heavy lifting. Frustrated much there EBH?
Simple answer- because the lamestream media successfully was able to label the Tea party as something that it is not.
Perception is everything in modern America today. Unfortunately.
The discrediting starts with this made from scratch poll. I wonder if the poll will be taken again after the torches , bonfires, and pick axes are employed in congressional realignment come January ‘14.
Morons in the media were saying the Tea Party was dead just six months ago. Now it’s ‘struggling’.
A good strategy for the author would be to ignore the Tea Party. Don’t waste any more time thinking about them. They’re done. Toast. Yeah, that’s it. See? That wasn’t so hard.
From the article: “This week, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, reminded me of the early days of the tea party when compromise was not an option.”
Compromise = weakness = surrender = political correctness = loss of liberty.
The Republican party is a pansy that gets a wedgie from Democrats on a daily basis.
The Tea Party is right not to compromise on anything.
If Obama’s in trouble of his own making, it’s time for a ‘Tea Party A Spent Force’ article!
They’re so spent, in fact, that one of their leaders monopolized media attention for speaking against socialized medicine for 21 hours straight.
They’re so spent that the Dem-controlled White House and Senate and RINO-controlled House are all but paralyzed.
Really, really spent! We mean it this time!
NOTHING!
What's is wrong is doooooshes in the MSM, like the jack wagon who wrote this piece. That's what is wrong. And PS Brainiac. There is no tea party per se. Just different groups of patriots banding together in this time of constitutional crisis.
It’s an easy answer.. The problem with the TEA party is that they are not promising any free goodies from the treasury for all the people to enjoy without having to work for it. Not popular! When the benefits are rolling in, freedom seems very risky and dangerous.
It seems to me that when you get the most powerful federal police force on the planet - IRS - doing everything legal and illegal to stop you, along with every major media outlet disrespecting and lying bout you, you might just need to reconnoiter a bit!
Add to that, liberal members of our own party despising you, it’s a miracle there is any life left in this movement at all.
Wait and see what happens in next year’s elections before writing the TEA Party’s obit, you clueless Obama cultists.
e would be the almost correct answer. The Tea Party is kicking butt and taking names. That’s why all of the left which includes RINO’s are trying desparately to do a smack down on the Tea Party. 2014 is getting close.
The Tea Party folks, whoever they are, are off doing productive jobs for the moment. But they’ll be back...
How about (f) The elite Ruling Class of both parties in Washington is conspiring against it and sent the IRS to destroy it.
The MSM doesn’t understand the Tea Party. They do not know what it is. They think in therms of a “Party”. It is a collective of conservative minded people that are pissed about loosing their liberty. They can’t figure out this collective on their terms which is just have a poll. Polls are meaningless. The Tea Party’s strength lies in the grass root collective that can rise up in great numbers when the time is right. (Read: 2014)
Apathy and laziness
American conservatives would rather stay home and bitch and moan than get off their lazy butts and hit the streets. They prefer to be nice rather than actively denounce their neighbors, friends and relatives for their liberalism.
Why demonstrate in the streets when you can pray and make God do the work?
...nothing.
The poll shows no such thing. This is pure liberal agitprop.
See for yourself. Keep in mind that the poll’s margin of error is +-3%. That means that The numbers could be flipped 25 support 24 don’t.
Furthermore, it’s a mostly weekend poll of all adults, not Likely Voters - the key constituency for polls.
