It is the same Movement that wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Magna Carta. It is the same Movement that dumped tons of tea into Boston Harbor. It's the same Movement that freed the slaves and overcame Jim Crow. It's irresistible and perpetual.
I don't fear Romney and Rove because men like them have come and gone throughout our history, and they don't have the FIRST CLUE about what motivated those marchers in 2009. They'll win an election or two, pass a tyrannical law or two, but in the end the Movement will prevail, if not at the national level then at the state level. Whether it's the United States of America (USA) or the a new Free Republics of America (FRA), freedom loving Americans will eventually achieve their natural state.
We just need to stay vigilant, true, perpetually pulling at whatever chains are on us. There is no final victory for the Movement, only progress.
This is well said, but as Hugin so eloquently reminds us, it was the commonality of the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party with those who are not necessarily conservative otherwise that made the success possible. As I see it, the only entity that can do in the TEA Party is the Tea Party. Keep to those common points of fiscal responsibility, spending constraints, etc. The "social" side of the equation will naturally follow, but as it took many years to get where we are, so it will take many years to get back.

Republicans can't kill the Tea Party Movement because they didn't create it. It pre-exists both the Dems and Repubs. Both the GOP-e and the Dems have made a critical error assuming the Movement is an new entity that can be crushed. They're wrong. The Movement is perpetual, fluid and flows from the God-given will to be free. It will exist long after both those parties are long-lost memories. It will outlast even these United States.It is the same Movement that wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Magna Carta. It is the same Movement that dumped tons of tea into Boston Harbor.
