People in Wisconsin had rallies of anywhere from 30,000 to 70,000 people in February protesting against Republican governor Scott Walker and his policies.

Sorry but it's a major indicator of a lack of enthusiasm. The Tea Party has a major problem. They are against Barack Obama, higher taxes, "Big Government" but what are they for? It's also looks like they are having trouble finding a presidential candidate they can really rally around.

you were saying

"Rep. Ron Paul of Texas and newcomer Rep.

Liberal Democratic lawmakers, in particular, have long derided parts of the Patriot Act as sacrificing civil liberties."

"The deal between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker John Boehner calls for a vote before May 27, when parts of the current act expire. The idea is to pass the extension with as little debate as possible to avoid a protracted and familiar argument over the expanded power the law gives to the government."

Please become informed.

the Tea Party wants companies to receive the same tax breaks and benefits as other companies. Unlike the scum in Congress who want managed commerce. Yea lets get Congress to run the economy it's worked so well before.
WAKE UP!!!!!

please become informed.

The loons on the left continue to make things up about the Tea Party because the truth of their horrible policies and spending has been exposed. Only those that are delusional think the left and right are for less spending and less government.
No budget cuts from either side, only lies. The Tea Party was the only one with a reduced budget. But ignoring the facts has become common place among the criminals who run Washington DC and their followers.

Bobby Jindal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During his first year at Brown University, he was received into the Catholic Church. . . .Piyush "Bobby" Jindal (born June 10, 1971)[1] is the 55th and current Governor of Louisiana and formerly a member of the United States House of Representatives.[2]

Being a Catholic is probably quite politically helpful in Louisiana.
And "Barack" wasn't born "Barack" what's your point?
The difference, one does a good job, the other guy doesn't.

Oh, for crying out loud? Are you one of those birthers who actually thinks his given name was "Barry Soetoro"? That's sad, very sad.

The people in Wisconsin were there (still being paid) and were on strike, you can't honestly compare that to people voluntarily coming out to see someone speak can you?

It's hateful ignorance and plain old bigotry from the left that got her elected in the first place. Ethnically challenged? Why don't you just attack her openly like you people did during the election?
