Expect another wave of TEA Party candidates in 2014. The Democrats are going to get stomped.
Obama is small change compared to the tea party. They make up the entire government as they go along, right down to the national emblem.

In the end, resolve don't mean squat. Leverage only lasts until the next election. We all know the once-mighty always fall in time.

Without a coherent national agenda, promoted by a unified national leadership, the tea party is not party at all. It's nothing but a disgruntled bunch of oppositionists, and opposition only never wins. There always has to be a carrot as much as a stick for a real political party, not a rump on a larger party, to succeed and last a while.

But of course you leave all the substance out and twist into something selfish so you can bash conservatives. Intellectual dishonesty at its finest.

What argument?

I'm correcting the portrayal of the TP as a few old people who have time to get on TV. This about demographics, not policy.

That is why the TEA Party exists, and will continue to exist the more that fiscal insanity presides over Congress.

Tea Partiers are going to be spending the next 10 years looking at the obituary section of the paper to see if they are dead.

Silly man. You fully partake of all the stuff the Democrats once worked to help you out, and you don't even realize it.

Actually, I pay taxes through the nose for Democrat Marxism and get absolutely nothing in return, and I never will. Your extremely naive if you think Democrats have ever done anything to help the nation. Their sole motivation is the utter destruction of the US. They even started the Civil War in an attempt to accomplish that goal. However, since Democrats lost that war they have been doing their best to spend the US into bankruptcy, and succeeding. The Democratic Party is the greatest enemy the US has ever known.

You're not "bashing conservatives". You're spouting an invalid stereotype and then trying to paste that image onto everyone.

Or, in plain language... a liar.

What's happening in the American political system is polarization.

The left elected a communist with totalitarian inclinations in 2008. This was after driving moderates from their political party.

Guess what is going to happen to the right? They'll do the same thing over the next few years.

Kind of like how cons foam and spew about how liberals are the cause of all things bad?

You do know that with power comes responsibility right? Well probably not. We could have a tea party President, tea party House, filibuster proof tea party Senate and tea party courts and the cons would still blame all the bad stuff on liberals
