Well the american public stood up again yesterday, and said NO FUCKING MORE. That's right no more, Dick Luger, had his walking papers shoved up his ass, and was told to get the fuck out.... now all you Obamazombies pay attention, or keep your heads buried in the sand like an ostrich, which I know you will. In my profession I deal and talk with people from all walks of life every day, and everyone is totally fed up with what is going on, both sides of the isle. You all wait till november, these fuckers are going to get their heads handed to them. Tea Party dead? I think not. They are just not as vocal as the obnoxious dems, we are the silent majority, and if you think not, you folks just keep wearing those rosey colored glasses.

You caught a anti government wave and won a few elections, the Tea Party has not proven they can govern!

The Tea Party doesn't want to "govern" ...they want to go to Washington, dismantle it; then return home to their businesses, family, community.

The Tea Party is not dead; it is an active grass roots movement. We will lose some elections; mis-step in some, but the Tea Party isn't going away. And it certainly won't be coopted by the 2 parties on major issues of debt and size of government.

Nope; they are not dead, and they are raising tons of cash !

Tea Party Patriots: A $12.2 Million Haul
Nonprofit organizations’ annual tax returns are lagging indicators, of course, and the political-fundraising landscape has been evolving rapidly. But the Tea Party Patriots’ success underscores the continuing – perhaps even growing – power of the tea party.
Much attention has been focused this election season on super PACs and nonprofits – some with ties to the tea-party movement – that are raising large sums, often from wealthy donors, and pouring it into campaign-themed advertising.
By contrast, the Tea Party Patriots and their affiliated groups are generally staying focused on the grassroots ground game – training, issue education, webinars and tele-town halls, and mobilizing of volunteers. The Patriots say they have 3,500 local affiliates, as well as a mailing list of 310,000 small-dollar donors. They also say they’ve raised even more money for the 2012 fiscal year, although they declined to provide numbers.
It’s brick-by-brick organization building, and the results aren’t easily measured. But the Patriots leaders say they’re creating a structure that will last.
At the same time, the Patriots and other tea party groups are maturing, holding fewer raucous rallies and doing more phone-banking.
“The tea party movement continues to be the most influential force this election year,” Patriots co-founder Jenny Beth Martin said in a statement on Tuesday after Indiana’s result. “Sen. Lugar betrayed the principles of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government and free markets that must be addressed this year or the American people will choose new leaders as happened today and in 2010.”
Next up for the Patriots and for other conservatives will be the June 5 Wisconsin gubernatorial recall election, which leaders regard as a crucial test of their ability to defend their recent gains.

Tea Party Patriots: A $12.2 Million Haul
- Sen. Richard Lugar, who lost his primary fight in Indiana Tuesday, doesn’t need any reminders of the tea party movement’s ongoing appeal. But for those who do, another one surfaced recently in the tax return of the tea party movement’s biggest umbrella organization.

TEA party people are not the types that draw the news media so you do not hear a lot about them.
The chances of riots and looting are ver small.
Rapes, stabbings and such just dont happen at TEA party gatherings.
TEA party people clean up after themselvs and dont trash the ploace costing taxpayers a small fortune to clean up after.
TEA party gatherings do not have paid performers like the Rhyming man Jesse Jackson.
Yeah the TEA party doesn't tend attract the liberal, sensationalizing news media.
They police their own and also weed out the democrats that try to come in and pretend to be a part of the TEA party attempting to cast an unfavorable light. All in all pretty boring to the people that thrive on daily drama.
We create the drama at the voting booth when our voices are heard loud and clear.
Democrats fear the TEA party like vampires fear the sun. They will lash out and start name calling as the sunlight of truth hits their weak minds. It doesn't take long. They will have a hard time expressing in truthful and civil means what it is that strikes so much fear. Is it that the TEA party believes that people should have control over the government rather than the government having control over the people. Do they fear that they will have to get out of the wagon and start helping to pull the load. Will it be that they just cant express themselves without rhetoric and vitriol.
We shall see.
