Really? Obama did a 180 on debt reduction once they were put into off. In fact they had so much power they're now circumventing 523 other congress members.

You folks need to think just a little but more before you continue on this little tirade...

Yeah i am......americans don't like the deadlock in D.C. to begin with. You actually think they support a group that is not willing to compromise an iota? I don't get why republicans do not seem to understand that the average american does not give a fig about the deficit.

President Obama will announce a proposal on Monday to tame the nation’s rocketing federal debt, calling for $1.5 trillion in new revenue as part of a plan to find more than $3 trillion in budget savings over a decade, senior administration officials said.
The proposal draws a sharp contrast with Republicans and amounts more to an opening play in the fall debate over the economy than another attempt to find common ground with the opposing party.

lmao.

The press coverage of the Tea Party has been much more favorable (and voluminous) than that of OWS. Secondly, that picture, lol. Way to do the same thing you accuse (inaccurately) the press of doing.

The Tea Party has become so unpopular that pretty soon politicians will deny they ever had a cup.

If the Tea Party is a non-issue... I am surprised the liberals are still talking about them...
