The Tea Party has more power and influence in 2012.


That's not exactly true. TP support has been falling ever since the mid-term elections. In fact, there was a poll that ABC did with the Washington post that said the more people learn about the TP...the less they like it.

Give me a few and I'll find it.

ETA: Found it. It's in PDF and even has a nice little graph for the symbol-minded. I don't really like to use polls as evidence, but hey...if the shoe fits...

Think it through.

If the Tea Party is losing power, how did Gov. Scott Walker win in a landslide victory?


More proof will arrive bright and early November 7, 2012. It's not far away.

Just hang in there.

So are you saying that the TP spent all that money on behalf of Walker? Walker had more money than God for his recall campaign.

Are you saying that the TP had a hand in the deceptive phone calls that told petition signers that they did not have to show up to vote?

Scott Walker won the election, but under some very questionable circumstances. Are tyou saying that the TP was part of that?

Well, we got some help from the Koch brothers. So what???

Money is flying around all over the place this year.

The SuperPacs are out of control.


Newt says Mitt Romney has 17 Billionaires throwing money at him and his

SuperPacs.

The democrats complained but then decided - nevermind then - and joined the party.

So are you admitting that the TP has and will resort to unsavory tactics to win an election?

What does that mean??????????

Do you mean dirty tricks?

The answer is no.

The truth is simple. The American people will speak on November 6, 2012.

I want you to listen to what they say.

Ok, and let's be realistic here. What if the American people reject Romney and other GOP candidates?

What will you do then? Every time you create a thread or make a comment, it is based on your belief that the election is decided already.

What happens if they lose?

Lets cross that bridge when we get to it.

Just be patient. November 7, 2012 will be here very soon.

Obama will give his concession speech and then there will be an orderly transition

of power to the Mitt Romney administration.

I predict more eyes will be on the number of GOP senators. 59 or 61? Time will tell.

I will vote for a moderate American Muslim ANYTIME over any American who calls himself or herself a Christian evangelical. One group poses no threat to me or my country. The other poses a grave and present danger to actual freedom to everyone other than themselves.

I hear you, but can you imagine the devastation of Obama with throttle wide open for another four years. I personally don't think religion plays much into all this, and so even if Romney is not my first choice he will be shackled with it being his first term, and will get rid of Obamacare (a sole reason for me to vote for him no matter how bad he is) the second reason is he can't be worst than Obama...no one can...

- Get rid of ObamaCare

- Get rid of Dodd/Frank

- Get rid of CFPB

Basically just undo everything Obama has done over the last 4 years.

Where ever Gov. Sarah Palin goes the candidate wins.

Look at the election results for Ted Cruz.


The other possibility is that Dewhurst lost due to being backed by Perry. Rick Goodhair Perry is not that popular of a governor even among Republicans after his horrible run for the presidency.


Read the Fox News Article.

The Tea Party has more power and money behind it now.

Gov. Scott Walker won his recall election. Remember?


Most of know that the Tea Party as it was first formed is nowhere in sight! The new and improved Tea Party is nothing more than a political machine for the GOP party system.. yet the Tea Party sheeple corralled by the GOP don't have a clue that they have been penned and sold for slaughter

Just like Occupy wallstreet has been co-oped by the DNC the Tea Party ...

I just can not see why people who seem to be so smart can be so easily co-oped by a major political party and not realize they are being used just like the immoral majority is being used...

It must be that blind faith?

Well I am trying to engage in a political discussion here, but this is no longer about politics. It is becoming clear that this is not about your political ideology, but about your devout religious attachment to the TP and the Right.

Common sense and reality is not part of your lexicon at this point, so I think it's safe to say that you believe what you say religiously.....and there is no room for dissenting opinion.

The Tea Party firepower is undeniable.

The 1st demonstration of our power was the -shellacking- the libs took in

November 2010.

Hello Speaker John Boehner.

The 2nd demonstration of our power was the landslide victory for Gov. Scott Walker

in his recall election.

The 3rd demonstration of our power will be observed November 6, 2012.

Hello Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Welcome to the White House President Mitt Romney !

I was hoping that Obama would not get elected in 08 because it was clear and evident that it really did not matter who was elected because our economic condition was so bad no president could have pulled us off the cliff face.

I would have rather seen a republican elected so it could be a death knell for the republican party and their failed ideology.

Frankly, I knew we were screwed when Obama kept the same type of economic advisors that led us down the path to nowhere with an unending supply of funny money while the American people got more trickle down chump change economics.

Our economy can not recover. It does not have the economic ability to do so in the consumer-based economy we have.

They say that seeing is believing.

On November 7, 2012 you will see and then you too will believe in the firepower of

the mighty Tea Party.

Our economy can and will recover.

USA small businesses will provide the jobs.

The unending regulations will be removed.

Turn that frown upside down. Our future is very bright.

as I said in my other post... The Tea Party is nothing more than a public relations arm of the GOP... I hope the GOP wins everything then they will have no one to blame but themselves when they are as ineffective as the dummycrats

talk all the smack you want but you are in for a big surprise either way...... the debt can not be fixed... more tax cuts will do nothing but bring more debt.... more bank bailouts like those started by Bush and continued under Obummer will not work.. cutting all the social programs while not cutting corporate welfare and reigning in the military industrial complex to fix the budget...

I doubt that the Tea Party will be pushing GAAP accounting for the banks or regulate the too big to fail corporations sucking this country dry..

I see you as being as naive as those dumbocrats that thought Obummer would really be a change...

frankly, I can't wait!

I have seen the power of the TP.

I went to the local TP rallies, trying to get involved, and had to take my kids and go home.

There were people with signs exclaiming the superiority of the white race and people with signs of Obama hanging from a tree. That is not the kind of people that I wish to associate with and it would be irresponsible to let my kids see that kind of crap until they are old enough to understand what it means.

Same thing goes for the Occupy movement. I was all for it until the Dems came out in droves to gain support and the Communists and pro-socialism folks were handing out literature.

So I have first hand experience that the TP is nothing more than a Right-wing Occupy movement. They swayed too far away from their original message and are nothing more than GOP supporters too scared to call themselves Republican.

Your delusional architecture is in step with the entire politically correct left, and I am sure the puppetmasters would be quite proud..

note: There is no such thing as a war mongering christian, because warmongering is not a christian thing..

The same way that obama is not a christian, because everything he does and says is not christian in any way.. He has definitely tried to convince America that he is though..

Currently, it seems you have a lot of things in reversed reality..

Our economy can not recover without bringing back our industrial base and have a dramatic increase in individual income (not household income which is a scam)

USA small businesses can not compete because profit margins have been pushed low by the TBTF corporations where small businesses can not effectively compete economically.

We removed regulations on big business and we see where that got us.

Lastly, without stopping the trickle down chump change economic climate that is draining government our treasury will never recover...

I am smiling... I am a contractor on foreclosed homes and I see everyday how our trickle down economy works while those at the top get 25 percent for shuffling paperwork while the person who does the work and absorbs all of the variable costs associated with a job gets only 50 percent of the contract work....

Did you ever wonder why the hundreds of millions of $$$ that went to New Orleans after Katrina just seemed to vanish in to thin air? 50 percent goes into the pockets of people not doing the work but only doing administrative work! Do you understand what I am saying?
