I see a LOT of threads dedicated to "Tea Partiers" or the even less flattering "Teabaggers".
It would seem that the group has accomplished it's mission.
To make people sit up and take notice.

Are others jealous because they couldn't get their anti-Bush, lynch-Cheney, kill-Rumsfield groups as organized and in the spotlight as much as the Tea Party Movement has managed to do?

Are they worried that this group will bring representation to DC that actually reflects the will of the people, as a whole, rather than the few elitist groups that Washington has coddled for too long.


For the record, there were those of us out there complaining about the Bush administration.
How else do you think a Democratic Presidency and Congress happened?

The people have finally noticed that this emperor not only has no clothes, but is wagging at us.

Yes... yes, that's exactly what it is: jealousy.

I'm sure there are plenty of educated, articulate, and affluent liberals. I just haven't seen any of them. I'll keep looking and let you know......

I think the liberals are ashamed of their elected officials and too proud to admit it.

The Left knows the Tea Party presents a threat to their power.

With their willing accomplices in the MSM, they will do whatever it takes to discredit the movement, by their usual lies and smears.

Did you see the 10000 in Dirty Harry's backyard?

Or how about the thousands that showed up at the Capitol?

No? Thought not. Time to unplug the drip.
