Is the Tea Party Over?

[soopaman2]

The tea party is a viable party. They just allow the worse people to hijack it. The halfway quitter Palin, and the loony toon character Bachmann??

Cain fits them to a "t" (Tea?)

Would go along way to prove to far leftists who want to portray them as anti-negro, rather than anti Obama policies.

I spout alot of seemingly leftist crap here, but see myself more aligned towards TP beliefs. I just despise the spokespeople they choose to headline them, like they are going more for media shock value attention rather than campaigning on thier beliefs.

Aligning themselves to republicans is bad too. Too many Mitts and Texas Rickys... They should emerge to challenge the independant party. 2 party politics is no good. More choices, the harder government would have to work for the voters.

(I still have faith in our system)

Vote Herman Cain! ""Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks. If you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself."

That's a campaign slogan that's going to take him real far.

OH NO!!! don't tell me they ran out of tea bags!!!!

Maybe they should become the coffee party.

And seeing as he is the most viable Republican at this time just shows we are in for 4 more years of apologizing to muslim countries for being attacked, and pandering to hardliners like Boehner. (hence my 2 party system sucks comment)

I would respect him if he used his office like Bush, Clinton and Reagan did before... As a bully pulpit to pull the people on his side despite party affiliation.

They can't. The Tea Party is only a one issue organization. Government economic responsibility and that's it. Why do you think the Democrats keep trying to define them in other areas? The second the TP start adding planks on social and other issues they will fragment. The Dems know this and will do everything they can to muddy the waters.
