The Tea Party has had their 15 minutes of fame, and their behavior during the budget crisis has raised awareness that their presence is detrimental to the well-being of this country. Their ideology is a repulsive one, driven to prominence by the election of this black President. They were non-existent during the disastrous Bush years. Time for Dem voters to send them back to where they belong. Their racist, ultra right-wing agenda has no place in modern times in this society.
The Tea Party did not spring up out of a vacuum. It owes its birth to the election of the most radical president in our lifetime. Their electoral success in 2010 happened because we needed to stop the damage from our 2008 mistake.
It takes strong medicine to overcome a bad infection; when the infection goes away, we won't need the medicine. It may be awhile since the wrong lessons are being learned: success equals greed, breathing merits massive entitlements, you can heap any amount of taxes and regulation onto private enterprise with no ill effects, etc.

The TEA party wants to greatly reduce federal government spending, reduce deficit spending to zero, if we can, so that our nation is not forcing trillions of dollars of borrowed debt onto our children and grandchildren.
How is this thinking "detrimental to the well-being of this country"????
How is this racist?
How is this "ultra right-wing"???
What we see in posts like yours is blind partisanship, and gross ignorance.
0bama has added about $1.5 trillion to the debt each year, we are looking at $16 trillion in debt, 1% GDP growth, a never ending 9% unemployment, and over $4/gal gasoline, by the time he is done. This will be detrimental to the nation.
The nation is conservative, not liberal, so learn to live with the fact that libs are a distinct minority
Why then did John and Trent have their middle names changed to Tea?
They had to get the debt ceiling deal passed, and they couldn't count on liberal support. So they had to deal with the TEA party.
But now that the gun has been pulled away from their heads, things will change. Hence the "super committee", which TEA party members won't likely be on. It eliminates TEA party members. Why do you think it was added, it ignores them, it marginalizes them. They have no voice in it, period. Of course Republicans will deny this, but its the whole reason why its there.
Republicans realized they couldn't count on TEA party members to vote the party line, so now they must be ignored. The super committee does that.
The American people have even turned against the TEA party, they are done, finished, an alienated group of people who shot themselves in the foot.
Think of it this way. You invite someone into your house that is half your size. Then they slap you. What are you going to do to them?
The best thing TEA party members could have done was to interject their views into the bill, and they had done that up until about a month ago. When they voted against the speakers bill the first two times, they were done.

Amazing how many of you liberals are running around secretly sacred of the "Tea Party". Trying to minimize them in your own minds so you don't have to deal with the fear they caused you in challenging your status quo.
Deflect all you like but the heat is only going to increase come the end of the year when the race for the Presidency heats up and the budget battle goes into round two.
We do want change but the Tea Party is in the completely opposite direction.
We need socialism for the majority of our people and raw capitalism for the few wealthy. We need to subsidize things that help all of us such as a Universal Health Care system free of the privately owned medical and insurance industries instead of bailing out the Wall Street gamblers and subsidizing the oil companies’ monopoly profits.
I have yet to see any reason to go where the Tea Party and most of right wing want us to go. All of these places would be a financial and social disaster for most of America.
We can start by supporting any and all Democratic Party Candidate in All future elections on the local, state and federal levels. Donate to them and work for their election and we can free ourselves of the monied wealth suckers damaging almost all of us.
After I controlled my laughter I decided to comment.
Vote for Democrats!?!?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA
Yeah they really put those Republicans to shame- AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
They are so different then Republicans- it is almost as if Democrats care for America- AHAHAHAHAHAHa
It's ironic and amusing to hear some of the loudest noise regarding the TEA party coming from the people claiming that they are irrelevant. Generally speaking, for me personally, I don't talk about things that I truly find irrelevant - let alone scream about them at the top of my lungs to anyone who will listen and even to people who won't.
