LMAO! The turnout at teabagger events as of late have been laughable at best, their approval rating is only about 20%, they caused the downgrade of the country's credit rating,...They are nothing but ultra right wing extremists who's time is up.

I have no crystal ball so I can't predict what will happen. Perhaps the tea party will grow, who knows. What I do know is that they have no qualms about taking a very hostile approach to minority groups. How is a political movement in the USA supposed to grow when they are taking an antagonistic approach towards one of the fastest growing segments of our society.

Minorities make up at least 30% of the US population and growing.

These same people were just saying that there wasn't even a Tea Party at all.

The only people who claim there is no Tea party are tea party supporters. How many times have I heard "There is no party, there are no leaders, there is no membership" And 100 percent of the times it's said by a supporter.

You "don't know" any such thing. You are simply projecting and repeating leftwing talking points. Pretty foolish to keep repeating lies, don't you think?

Tea Party’s heyday may be coming to an end, say political experts
Crap! That means even more anti-Palin/Bachman threads.

It surprises me that there are still people out there who don't realize that the majority of American voters are sick and tired of politics as usual. The change in voter mentality is here to stay IMO.

"Tea party" is just another name for simple-minded anti-intellectuals. Unfortunately, there are many millions of them in America, and they will continue to play a significant role - especially in the Republican Party. They don't like science, they don't like education, and they don't like government. They're a rather pathetic bunch because their only solution to our problems is "less government", and they seem to believe that all new ideas are based on conspiracies by the "liberal elite". Constructive thinking is not in their playbook.

The numerous racist signs at tea party rallies that warn of Whites being enslaved.
