Organized protesters are disrupting the public events of Republican congressmen, and media commentators have widely proclaimed them the new TEA Party. Are these protest groups truly similar to the TEA parties? Will they become a lasting movement that revitalizes the Democratic Party, or is this wishful thinking?
Taxed Enough Already (TEA) was a reality felt by people who had long seen their tax dollars wasted, squandered or embezzled by government. Examples include public schools that spend twice that of private schools, but produce the worst students in the country; city executives of small towns making ten times the median income while doing one-fourth the work; and public employees making three to five times private industry while doing half the work. They saw nepotism and patronage in expensive and unproductive local and state government, and bureaucratic waste, incompetence and frustration in an expensive and counterproductive federal government.
The watchdog groups that seeded the TEA parties existed long before 2009. They would occasionally bend the ears of politicians, but the ones profiting from government would never listen. Strangely enough, the press that proclaimed itself "the watchdog of government" never gave these watchdog groups much attention, except when the most scandalous activity was exposed, and maybe not even then. These groups were largely ignored. Perhaps they failed to connect the government excesses to the peoples' pain, or perhaps the people failed to realize they were suffering under government that cost far more than its worth, but in 2009, that changed.

I remember some stupid islamidemos trying to start their “coffee parties” in response.
In the not too distant future, conservatives will reach the end of their rope and begin turning VIOLENTLY against those who wish to overthrow this country. “For every action there is a reaction”, the left doesn’t realize how massive that reaction will be. It will not end well.
Tantrum at Every Action of Republicans ...... would have been helpful.
Simple test:
If they leave clean space behind - they are TEA party
If they leave garbage they are Soros paid SCUM party.
Is that tear as in crying a river, or tear as in tearing us apart?
Our side is NOT violent.
We don’t jump on police cars or burn down cities. Our protest are peaceful... our rallies happy occasions.
What color is the sky in your world?
If the corrupt press attempts to make the crowd look artificially larger than it is by holding cameras at chest level it's Soros paid liberal SCUM.
If the corrupt press spends half their time trashing the protesters, it's a conservative group.
And yet, here we are, on the cusp of a trillion printed dollars of stimulus. Shovel ready, back in Style under the GOPE.. created reservoir crisis did not happen overnight.
Since this new movement exists for the sole reason to trash Trump I think we should call them the TRASH Party. And like TEA Partiers were labeled “TEA Baggers” we should call the new folks “TRASH Baggers.”
Perfect.Hope it catches on.
Or TEAR as in Tear Gas?
Trump set the example for Republican town hall meetings.
1) Always have security to handle fake protesters
2) “Get them out of here!”
Done.
I recall that also.
