"TEA" party dead?
....some pundits are saying the Tea Party is dead...I don't think so....I believe the original reason for the Tea party is alive and well,at least in the South...Any members associated with the "T" party?

The movement was quickly co-opted by the establishment repubs. 0 -
Yep it was co-opted and refocused onto non-important issues. It may as well be dead anyway. 0 -
They have been free-loading dead heads all along. They want to enjoy the benefits of citizenship without paying the bills. 0 -
...not dead down here....I do think its more underground (silent majority type) than ever.. 0 -

Free-loading dead heads? Really? Bull schnitzel! It started out as a great idea and has been co-opted by those that make politics a business.
We want to enjoy the benefits of citizenship without having to pay the bill for everybody else that wouldn't know a good citizen from a hole in the ground. I am sick and tired of my money going to countries overseas that then turn around and try to undermine the US. I'm tired of paying for food, lodging, transportation, education, entertainment, and phones for people that could give a rats ass about finding a job. I'm tired of politicians that talk out both sides of their mouth and try to blow sunshine up my butt all the while making it more and more difficult for me to make an honest living.
I find your attitude towards those that would try to return this country to it's roots appalling.0 -

Freeloading?? They are the folks paying the bills. Those with your attitude, in my experience, net out at ZERO personal taxes and are appalled that those paying upwards of 35% aren't happy to do so on their behalf.0 -

"TEA" party dead?
Hardly- Its the only viable 3rd party government fears.0 -
The DEM's certainly hope that they are not dead as the only hope the DEM's have is that the Tea Party and their fellowtravelers knock off REP's with lightweight and noname candidates that have no hope to win in a general election as happened in DE in 2010 with "the witch" Christine....and DE'ns have a very LIB Chris Coons stuck in a previously RED Senate seat thanks to the "wonderful" DE Tea Party. 0 -

Are you satisfied with the status quo, then? Shall we all just remain bent over and greased up and let 'em continue to give us the business?
No more BS. Return government to We the People!0 -

gary just wants him a republican, he's convinced himself that they're different. The fact that he's managed this in spite of the mountain of evidence to the contrary causes me to question his intelligence.0 -

Charles.....na, want I want is a conservative victory in both 2014 and 2016. Read what I typed about the Tea Party Witch in DE and what that got us.....a LIB DEM Chris Coons in the Senate. The Tea Party lost a least three conservative seats in the Senate in 2010 and I don't want to see that repeated. You like DEM's sitting in the Senate and the White House? All I hear from you guys is who you don't want....never hear who you DO want! Just constant negativity. I can support a Rand Paul...can you?0 -

Sorry a valid 3rd party will/can never exist, winners need 30%, politicos of this Amalgamation of races political beliefs, are divided, concerted majority can/will never again happen.
We have a de factor two party dictatorship favoring very rich, and/or very poor. The U.S. compares to the German Weimar government of the 1920's,untrained youths 18 to 26, and college educated with BA's and Masters were jobless the Mark was useless Read about it yourself in the book De Fuehrer by author Konrad Heiden
I am aware of what my critics say, George does not live in this century, well ok that is part true I am nearing 80, I was born
during the great dictatorships of the 1930's0 -

Please define "free-loading", this discussion was about the Tea Party NOT Occupy.
I would think that anyone that would associate with a group or idea that has at its base and name TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY would be Tax payers. You know the ones paying the bills. The 53% that pay Income Tax.
If you pay Income Tax (NOT just PAYROLL tax) your share of the National Debt is $150,643
I follow the Lone Star Tea Party and have never been registered with either major party.0 -

The only thing RED about Federal seat seeking Delaware politicians is the Soviet Era Red flag they honor. Don't take that as an insult to Delaware folks; the whole (R) party is rife with elite, self-serving, corrupt and morally bankrupt so called leaders.0 -
The Tea Party was started because "Taxed" Americans were tired of the Repub and Dems screwing us...I am now an Independent! It doesn't matter who wins the elections! The Lawyers make the laws!.. Congress should be nullified by a majority vote of Americans..[xx(][xx(] 0 -

What the heck does this post mean? You don't know a thing about DE or the politics in that little state. Check it out!! The DE Tea Party ran a laughable candidate and she lost BIGTIME and the state is stuck with a LIB DEM in Chris Coons....so if you are going to say the same old tripe with no facts, just bug out....Moderator or no[;)]0 -

gary wants facts???
Tell me about internet use in China, gary. Got any FACTS to share?
Tell me about the end of piracy off the African coast? Gimme just the facts, as you know them.
You are 100% tripe, blow it out your fat azz.0 -
We are not dead,I know because The I.R.S is still giving Me the run around about My 2012 Tax Refund. 0 -

This post is about the Tea Party and Charles is asking questions about....China and pirates! What a hoot! As usual, Charles has nothing to add to the thread but some whacked out thoughts. One guy talking about the Soviets....the other about China. Come on guys, add something relevant to the discussion....pwillie asked a good question.0 -
After the last debacle brought on by the Republican Party, I am determined to vote for my benefit,not the National Union..I have wasted many dollars in the last eight years...starting with George W.....! I will waste no more of my money on anything that doesn't bode well for me... 0 -
we could get some indication of the condition tonight. 0 -
Will Texas give us a valid answer? 0 -
I don't know is there is a valid answer.
Influence......there are 3 races i am watching. incumbent REP and long time politicians.
i think turnout by district could be important.
i guess i should go and look up the turnouts for the last 2 cycles.
i just herd on the news that it has been 30 years since a Democrat was elected to a state wide office.
i don't think that is correct, perhaps 20+.[:)]
being one of the redest of the red states the Tea Party influence might be obscure at best.
i am already disappointed in U.S. Senate race.0 -
The "Tea Party" was nothing more than a grass roots movement that the establishment repubs quickly identified as a threat and moved to co-opt it before any real damage to the status quo could be done. It will never become a viable political party because the current 2 party system will never allow it to happen. 0 -
If We were co-opted by the republicans they are going to be surprised because it's not just democraps we are going after this election cycle. 0 -
So?????? What happened to the Tea Party in TX? I don't know much about TX politics but from what I am hearing the Tea Party and its usual lightweight, not ready for prime time candidates, didn't do much. Same is going to happen in KY I'll bet. Thoughts? Could it be that the REP Party is getting it house together to defeat Hillary in 2016? And I am hearing that Sen Cruz did his usual pouting and complain'n. 0 -
I am not clear on what Senator Cruz would be "pouting and complain'n" about.
I know 5 candidates he directly endorsed:
Chief Justice Nathan Hecht 60%
Justice Jeff Brown 72%
Justice Jeff Boyd 100%
Justice Phil Johnson 64%
And Konni Burton for State Senate in District 10 43% headed for a runoff.
Surely he is not upset that Greg Abbott only got 91%.
For my part, I am pleased with the Lt. Governor race going to a runoff.
Dan Patrick 41%
David Dewhurst 28%
Also that a moderate incumbent State Representative District 94 was taken out by 10% points.0
