the ron paul tea party people are long gone.

they were squeezed out when beck, palin and fox news came along.

more tea partiers support perry(establishment illegal alien loving) and romney(what?) then ron paul.

the tea partiers are the far right neo con war mongerers of the republican party now.

independents and libertarians left months ago when it was hijacked.

And, other than this being your opinion, what is your proof of any of this?

If, as you say, the Tea Party is gone, why don't you forget them..?
Just kick back and rejoice in the fact they no longer exist, but be prepared to be very surprised when the TP and their canidates put another whipping on the incompetant trash that you are supporting.
You might get the oppertunity to meet obama if you were to stop by his shoe shine stand any time after November, 2012....!!

The tea party has been hijacked for some time. When people think Sarah Palin is tea party-- I have to LOL...

If these people were truly "tea party" as it was originally meant, they would be supporting Ron Paul, not establishment candidates like Palin or Perry. Seems like now when they use the term "tea party" in the media, they mean "neo-cons"

I told you, you didn't know what the TEA Party is a few pages back.

Rick Perry and Mitt Romney do not have the TEA Party vote! Far from it.
The media has tried to steer you into thinking so. Where was the last TEA Party rally of the people, to suggest who they support?

Didn't you vote Democrat last time and have vowed to do so again, this time?

Of course you are right on at this time..I doubt the "Tea party" would ever endorse Romney particularly. They may end up voting for him if he gets the nomination. It is better than the alternative, but I doubt many are behind him right now. Some may be supporting Perry though. Even that, not the majority..

Well the extremely odd thing here is that the Tea Partys are mainly about small limited government, but it's common knowledge that Perry, Romney, and most of the rest are large government globalist supporters, because like you said they are establishment and for illegal aliens, which means a very big government. Either it's the polls are wrong or some tea partiers are ignorant believing lies from candidates.

The Tea Party was hijacked a while ago. The only people who call themselves Tea Party anything, are either A.) Making money off the marketable name. B.) Are late to the game and don't even know what is going on. C.) Political trolls.

The movement that first started still exists, but it is far bigger than anything under the Tea Party label currently.

I guess Fox News lost the mortgage on the Tea Party and had to sell to CNN...
