According to the latest polls the Tea Party movement has a 28% approval rating, even Barack Obama's approval rating is higher than this political movement.

How does it feel? To put your faith and beliefs behind a political movement only to see evidence that main stream America doesn't support you or your movement?

Tell me who is gaining momentum and popular support?

How does it feel to peak during a mid term election, then crash and burn before the next Presidential election?

Easy. The rubes who voted for them finally got to see they were sold a bill of goods by a bunch of in-experienced nobodies.

It's buyer's remorse, plain and simple.

OWS didn't marginalize them, they did that to themselves when they let Fox News and Sarah Palin hijack their movement. What went from a general dissatisfaction was spoonfed into the Republican Party.

Did you see all the news stories on the front pages of news websites about the Tea Party, Ha no you didn't because the only way they have to draw attention to themselves is to attack the OWS, funny you all talk like your anti government, so where are ya'll? The tea party has switched from attacking big government to attacking a real grass roots movement, because its gonna be huge and that scares the crap out of the right.

Have you been living in a cave, or were you born yesterday?
I won't bother with the multitude of stories about the lefts attempts to smear the Tea Party.

Because I doubt it'd make an impact.

seems to me that if more people had listened to the tea party instead of "marginalizing" them

there would be no ows protests but nope didnt wanna listen just wanna throw a temper tantrum and stomp their feet and chant " its our way or the highway".

ponder if more people had listened to them instead of trashed them where we all would be right now.

Almost forgot, LDragonFire, if all you want to do is make tea "baggers" angry then good job

If you would like a discussion with another point of view then stop writing such obviously biased statements and resorting to demeaning a movement you don't agree with. Do you want more support on your side or do you want more enemies against your side? Either way is fine with me as I believe in free choice.

Good luck!

The Extreme Left and the Extreme Right have the most in common out of anybody. It is the Middle that has driven us down this never ending road of compromise. We compromise on everything! Education, Healthcare, Taxes, Foreign Policy, Abortion, etc., etc. We have to stop compromising and start demanding excellence!

The middle says, "well maybe a little abortion is ok, maybe a little war is ok, maybe a substandard education for all is better than an excellent one for many, maybe average healthcare at an expensive price is better than excellent healthcare at an unknown price, maybe we can assassinate some folks, but not our citizens, unless maybe our citizens are overseas?. Maybe raising taxes, just a little is ok, and maybe we can convince the public we are cutting spending, when really we are just cutting the growth in spending, yet still growing the government exponentially."

TOO MUCH COMPROMISE!!!!

If Legislation were a skyscraper, we would be on the 100th floor with swiss cheese balsa wood gingerly holding us up while the leadership of both parties walk a tight rope of compromise with our babies at each end of their balance pole, and as long as we keep compromising, they will keep teetering those babies over the edge.

I don't care if the Tea Party gets it done, or the OWS gets it done, or Ron Paul gets it done, or Iran gets it done, but somebody has to press the damn reset button and get the government back down to a manageable size, and put the US back on top of innovation and quality and leadership.

I'm sick to my guts of all this compromise.

Obviously not.

Oh PLEASE Mister Beezzer! Teach me!

Your team is the one making all the noise with every little silly straw poll that comes around about how it's a sign of this, or proves this person will be President. Really. Get over yourself.
