The tea party, the new "grassroots" movement promised many things in the past mid-term elections and ran on "less government!" "less spending!" "pro-constitution!" though when it came to when the rubber meets the road, their campaign slogans seem to have fallen short.
Wow, that isn't a tilted question, is it?
How about Obama, though he got the Nobel prize for nothing, he was a big disaster, right?
The Tea Party is in BOTH the Democrat and Republican party which are both dominated by Washington beltway politicians that are out of touch with the voters.
The Tea Party wants much less government, responsible spending and probably a balanced budget amendment in the State and Federal government.
I think they are butting heads with both the Republican and Democrat parties. I think people are fed up and agree with them in principle.
I still think the vast majority of Americans haven't got the memo yet that we are broke, so they poll stuff like we want everything, but don't want to pay for it.
Tea Party is 100% grass roots, and voters are IMO very immature and need to grow up in general.
The "historic backlash" mentioned in the op is a direct reference to the unions in wisconsin.
I'm aware of that, I'm also aware that if anyone wants to talk about "a bunch of wild animals that just attack, name call, and spread ignorance" you need look no further than the front steps of the WI capital where the union trash has been acting like... well... trash for a couple weeks now even after losing on all fronts.
I don't need to because I was out protesting Bush's economic plans just like I protest against Obama's. I'm not a Bush voter, I never was and none of the people I know in the Tea Party ever were.
Well, every single one I've talked to in the Dallas suburb I live in were full-on Bush supporters... so there are a good number of 'partyers that fall under my description. Yeah, there were a few beforehand, but I didn't start seeing widespread coverage until after 2008, so I stand by my view that most teabaggers are just in a tizzy about Obama.
Worse than a fraud, they do the bidding of Dick Armey and the Koch brothers destroying the middle class. They are making America into a Third World Country
You mean as opposed to george soros? In regards to the middle class if they are going to be destroyed..........it will be by taxes used to pay for these democratic party spending schemes not a loss of union bosses.

Most Obama supporters that I've run in to will use any excuse they can to defend their boy, throwing around claims of racism isn't exactly a new Democrat tactic.

I know this is a feat that is next to impossible, but let's have an honest debate, not ignorant mudslinging. This goes for everyone.
Hicks.Less government, until they disagree with what you're doing. Much like everyone else, except they're particularly stupid about it.
AKA the result of years of inbreeding.
Although I will say this. Anyone who engages in partisan politics is an embarrassment to me as an American. You were born with a brain. Stop using your skull as a Jello mold and think freely.
I like hicks. I've always had an affinity for the common man. Of course so did the founders. That's why they wanted/envisioned a limited government as opposed to the european penchant for strong central governments. You see what the founders knew was the individual citizen is a better judge of what is in his/her best interests than some government bureaucrat. This is a lesson todays assorted socialists and marxists can never understand, the difference between subjects and citizens.

I know this is a foreign concept to a lot of you but ignorant trolling doesn't equal fact no matter how many times you post it. Those of us associated with the Tea Party know very well that the only defense many of you have against us is to toss out ignorant claims of racism hoping that something will stick... we get it, really we do.
