I think the tea parties have good intentions, I think the spirit is in the right place but I think that they were ill organized and lost sight of the main goal-LOWER TAXES and LESS GOVERNMENT.
Unfortunately, I think that they did turn out to be right wing partisan affairs and scared off many who were interested in hearing the NON partisan thoughts on the matters.
It should have never been turned into a republican "rally".
The idea in theory is a good one, but it does need to remain non partisan.

Check out the main tea party website's traffic numbers. Pick the three Month trailing
option. Compare the traffic in April for the first dud tea parties to these dead ender tea parties for July 4th.....LOL

Obama supporters got organized on November 4, 2008 when it mattered. The teabaggers will surely be in Palin mourning. All 10s of them will probably stay in there trailers.

They fizzled out this way big time... Not getting any sort of recognition in anyway via media...

Guess he is right! There are only 1449 cities planning them! That number has gone up about 100 since I looked last night!
1449 cities x 100 people = not much

They got no recognition the first time around. Obama ordered the media to ignore em. Go see the fifty thousand who are going to show up in Dallas and get back to me.
