The TP candidates didn't do so well in CO this past Nov. Both state-wide TP backed candidates lost to (gasp!) Democrats! This in a pretty conservative state.

I'd guess that the present Tea Party mainly consists of people who now realize that Bush's Presidency was a total debacle, and now have to separate themselves from the utter failure that they supported.

The Tea Party was a fine idea till all the Social Conservatives got ahold of it. The type of people who like Sarah Palin rather then Ron Paul, because Ron Paul actually supports or does all the things someone like Sarah Palin claims to support, or do. So when Paul...you know, says that it would be ridiculous to deny people the right to build a "Mosque" (even though it's not), near Ground Zero, they turn against him. That happens, because they are fundamentalist Christians/Social Conservatives in disguise as real Libertarians. Even the founder of the Tea Party calls it a joke, now...

Don't 'misunderestimate' the US voter. We, as a nation, did vote for a complete moron Bush Junior. Twice. We are just that dumb. I wouldn't be surprised if we have Sarah Palin as our President in a few years... The average US voter is just not very bright.

Just so you know, life ain't easy. Today i was flat on my back under a 1 ton dump truck all the day light hours. i was supposed to be getting a machine to fix transported from 80 miles away.

I was under the truck because it was broken down and could not move. I found that out last night, when the owner appeared with it saying it had no power.

There is no shop here for a truck this size, and so at +15 degrees i layed out there working with cold steel, all the day light hours before the truck was fixed and that much was for free.
My wife was out there helping me move big heavy steel parts and wiggling parts as instructed, and for what? So I can go get that busted junk of a hunk of the Bismark and drag it back here to fix it, in a unheated barn. Before I get this big machine fixed it will be well below 0 for many days.

This is called WORKIN' for a living. I will have to take steel cutting torches to my tools to heat them up so I can just hold them, to fix this machine. I will have to pressure wash it in below 0 weather to likey.

Once more this is called workin'!
You have a lot of issues none of which I caused. I can voice my opinion without being afraid if It will offend you. Do me a favor,tell those blacks that married into your family all the things you type on here. I think they should know the truth. As for blacks being bread to be stupid that statement along tells me who the real dummy is. Laying on the ground under a truck all day and not leaving the farm doesn't make you any better than all the blacks you think you support. By the way I don't need your money so talk to the ghetto people that you think all blacks are.
I want not support Obama so you can like black people. I believe in single payer. I believe the rich should pay out their lazy cheating a$$%% in taxes. I believe credit card companies are a disgrace and should be ran out of business. I believe crooked real estate people and bankers who take advantage of people should be put in prison. So all of your I support Obama because he is black is stupid without the slave master making you dumb.

EC, Il'd tell em, but there to busy working. layin under that truck, and not sending it to a shop saved me time, and money. I coulod have paid 100 bucks to have it towed to a shop, and sometime in the next 2 weeks someone would have fixed it, but then I wouldn't have had it today to drive 16o kiles to pick up a 1 ton machine to get started fixing. A total over haul. Torn down for sand blasting, powder coat, refit in stainless steel, new moden controlls, and for a fair wage.

I do not support Obama. I didn't vote for him, but not because of his skin color, but because one look told me he was a fruitcake wacko nut case, too full of himself.

The breeding comment is because that is what I read somewhere, and it was in a historical artical on the last days of slavery. I didn't think it was true, but then these days I am not so sure it wasn't true.

Taxes, I think there should be far less taxes. With that a set % everyone pays.

Maybe 2% and if you work and earn a buck you pay 2%, and if you work and earn 100,000 bucks you pay 2%. 2% is more than the interest my bank pays.

The only way that they can remain 'relevant' is by attempting to elevate their patron saint, Sarah Palin, run for RNC Chairman (to of course replace the "Token"). However, the true Republican establishment will never let that happen and will quash the TP movement entirely.

Tea baggers got off the Swift boats and went into hiding for a couple a years, republicans can always find some group of nitwits to pay off.

If the best they have is Palin well, she isn't going to like payback very much.
