We aren’t tamed, it’s just that we’re all broke. We can’t compete with the chamber of commerce.

When they told you there was no such thing as a stupid question, they lied. This headline proves it.

Tamed?
Has the Constitution ceased to exists? Have people lost interest in defending it? Have good wholesome values ceased to exist?
Tame? LOL

The question is not if the TP has been tamed or not, but if patriots have used their voting muscle to force the corrupt feds back in to their constitutional Article I, Secton 8-limited power cage. And at this point the answer is definitely no imo.

Everytime I see insulting things written about “the Tea Party” I know who wrote it is an idiot. The Tea Party is nothing more than a group of fed up American voters. Everytime an idiot attacks them they are attacking average Americans.

I’ll answer the headline writer this way: Dunno, why don’t you ask a Tea Party member that you know? Because the answer inevitably is “I don’t know any.” It shows.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Good comments above.
That said, the Tea Party should consider changing its name to...
... The Traditional Republican Party

I'm hoping that some Freeper (
and of course I nominate Impy) with a lot of time on their hands will give us a summary of the new Senate and House members from a Tea Party point of view. We may not have succeeded in picking the most conservative candidates but are we really all that unhappy with the folks we ended up with?
I'm not sure. I'm really not. Someone needs to give us some feedback on just how RINOish these guys and gals are.
And ... if the GOPe types out there think this WAVE ELECTION would have happened without the support of the Tea Party leaning Republicans they are just kidding themselves. This election was not a victory for the GOPe. But it was a huge defeat for Obamanism.

In the docudrama America, Desousa quotes Alinsky “uou either have money or you have people” boots on the ground is the way to beat this. Door to door pressing flesh stating our case and educating people. Loud proud and in their face till they scream uncle.
