‘Is The Tea Party Over?’

Want to know just how scared of the Tea Party America’s media are?

On Sunday, the Chicago Tribune’s Clarence Page published a column entitled “Is The Tea Party Over?”:

Has the tea party peaked? Republican lawmakers affiliated with the upstart anti-tax movement scored big in the nerve-racking debt-ceiling debacle, but the victory left enough hard feelings to feed the movement’s ultimate defeat.

So let’s understand Page’s thinking.

The Tea Party nine months ago scored a huge victory assisting Republicans to the biggest midterm election landslide in decades.

The following month, before any of these Tea Partiers had even been sworn into Congress, the President and his Party caved into their wishes by extending the Bush tax cuts.

Last week, the President and his Party caved into Tea Party demands to not have tax increases as part of the debt ceiling agreement.

And it is the Tea Party that is in danger of “ultimate defeat?”

    It's Liberal Chicago News (propaganda). They are saying this in hopes of swaying Tea Partiers to leave that party and give false hope to their liberal base.

    No not hardly! Now we get even stronger. Now we create a New Continental Congress of the 21st Century and like we told the British to 'P_ss-Off and get out of our country!"THEN, we tel the Comunists in our government to "P_ss-Off and get out of our government!" NOW

    Do you realize that the Tea Party has succeeded in waking up America DESPITE every effort of the democrats to discredit their patriotism by shamelessly infitrating the organization with liquor etc. The media has bent over backward not to give the Tea Party any recognition whatsoever. People dont know who to go to to even JOIN. That to me, is unfortunate, because while the Tea Party had tens of thousands attending rallies, if the public knew who to go to, there would have been MILLIONS. The "Kennedy Seat" would have NOT gone to a Republican if it were not for the Tea Party (tho some doubt, with good reason, the sincerity of the one who got the Kennedy Seat), it still most likely changed permanently to the Republican Party. Sometimes it looks like the Tea Party was played, but in the end……we believe they will succeed, much better than any of its detractors ever will! Thank you for what you have done, Tea Party. As a result of Tea Partiers, America is on its way back home and will not be TURD no matter what this president does – his action usually make him look worse than those he would scorn.

    With what time I have left in life, I would like to see a third political party (TEA party) to counter extremes of both existing parties and recreate what was once the greatest nation in the history of the world. Another march on Washington DC, in my opinion, is not an option, it is a MUST! See you there.
