To measure their success you have to define their goal(s). Has anyone done that yet? That being said, if the TEA parties were such a dismal failure, why are you folks so interested in them? If their goal was simply to bring more attention to the issue of taxation, well, they were apparently successful.
Because ANY criticism now is looked upon by the left as an attack on Obama.

I'm confused by the whole thing since the first step to lowering taxes is reigning in the budget. If that's the case, where were these folks during Bush's massive deficit spending?
Obama has spent more in his short time in Office than Bush....many see his idea of a solution as no solution at all.
It had to be embarassing for so many tea baggers who claimed pre -event it wasn't a protest against a party or Obama when in fact there were scores of anti-Obama posters, many with downright hateful, racist messages.
I have no idea what they were complaining about in Lansing ,MI. MI is a state that is double dipping into TARP and stimulus with GM and if it were not for Obama's rescue this state would go third world in a hurry.

The United States should adopt educational socialism from Europe.
Actually, I would agree with that. They allow school choice, public or private, and public funding is provided to private schools.
"Private schools in Germany are permitted to select both their pupils and teachers and are not rigidly tied to state regulations in regard to the choice of teaching material or the number of weekly lessons. In return for public funding, however, they must hold state examinations and issue reports and certificates, just as would a state-run school. As long as their students perform adequately on the state exams, the private schools are generally left alone." EDUCATION INDICATOR: An International Perspective / Indicator 45 NCES
Also includes information on other European countries that provide public funds to private schools.
