What? You missed all of those announcements that the Tea party was dead? You were even one of them. Must be pretty embarassing to be you isn't it.

On issues they see as “extremely important” in the midterms, a majority of Tea Party supporters choose ISIS (57%)
You do understand that the majority of the folks y'all ran against GOP incumbents lost don't ya? Again , this from your own article.
Lower profile, indeed. The results of the primary elections had been seen as a rebuke to Tea Party activists, as challengers to Republican Senate incumbents failed to net a single win. Only David Perdue’s defeat of Jack Kingston for the US Senate nomination appeared to fit the profile of a Tea Party victory, but Kingston was well regarded by conservative activists as a member of the House. That outcome looked more like populist rejection of a Washington figure, and at any rate Perdue performed relatively the same against Michelle Nunn in pre-runoff polling. The only real surprise of this cycle was Eric Cantor’s loss to a neophyte in the Virginia-07 primary, but Tea Party organizations didn’t get involved in that race until after the primary.
So you are back but are going to have to vote for folks you did not support in the primary? You're bragging about that?

Your statement is ridiculous.
True, because there will be NO Tea Party backed candidates elected to public office on the morning of Nov. 4.
But REALLY?
That statement is just plain stupid. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider
