Dick Army came to the dance very late in the game. The Tea Pary movement is not beholding to him. Truthfully the work of the Tea Party has just begun. They will have to be ever mindful in watching legislatures and holding their feet to the fire on lowering the debt, significantly shrinking spending and government, and adhering to the Constitution. Only time will tell if the Tea Party movement at large has lasting power.

The workers here do not not take to the streets like they do in Greece or France.

Didn't Reagan help ignite the world economy.

I think you're in for a big disappointment. The Tea Party is beholding to the Koch brothers and Dick Army as the PR arm for their so-called movement. They don't even realize how they've been used and manipulated because they are so stubborn.

After the elections tomorrow we will see what the Republicans do with the Tea Party.

Corporate America must love the Tea Party...with suckers like that the corporations should be able to get any legislation passed that will benefit the corporations and screw the workers.

I tend to lean more to the right on most issues, and I still think most of these Tea Party supporters are bunch of ignorant twits. Their sheer stupidity, coupled with the fact that they seem to be unable to discuss anything without simply parroting soundbytes, would be laughable if so many people did not actually take them seriously.

Overall, I think it's a good thing. However, the media has been relentlessly pursuing the Tea Party calling them racist bigots and I totally disagree with that. They just fear the Tea Party, so they do what any scared politician would do, resort to name-calling.

Proud of Birchers, nativists, white supremacists, Dominionists, crackpot tax dodgers claiming "personal sovereignty", and folks living on government subsidies who rail against "leeches" on society getting any help? No.

The Tea Party is going to kick the left all the way back to the dark alleys they crawled out of.

Untouchable candidates in "safe districts" NEEDED to be challenged for their seat. No lifetime appointments by buying elections anymore.
