Yes, but it does not rival the effectiveness or the potency of the Tea Party. When's the last time you saw a Green Party movement whip people into coordinated action all across the country?

Yes true. But sadly even for a third party to be CONSIDERED...agh..

It is hard. Trust me. I do not like the Tea party or whatever it is called BUT if they can break the two hold power between the Democrat and Republican party....

You mean "uniformed black guys wielding clubs at voting locations" dangerous?

I don't know anyone who's expressed a fear of the Tea Partiers. I'd probabaly laugh at them if they did.

Wait a minute the Green Party has elected local officials in many states. Tell me what the Teabaggers have done besides having a spitting contest though that hole between their front teeth.

CNN. Great source, lololol! The Tea Patries sure seem to be getting the Liberals attention now that they are sweating their jobs later this year. That will be the true test of how the American people feel.

I am thinking of organizing a Tea Party meeting here in Tampa. Seems to be quite profitable. There is a bit of competition, but there obviously is a lot of money in fear.

Poll: Tea Party movement fails to make any impression on 4 out of 10 - CNN.com
Here we have a new political movement growing faster every day and 4 in 10 have not heard of the movement or don't know enough to form an opinion.

What does that tell us about our national news outlets? To me it means that either they are not doing there job or a lot of peolple don't watch the news at all.
