Its funny that people out there actually thought Obama could bring about change. Unless change means gone on vacation now days.

and the tea party movement is a joke. if they wanted credibility, they would have started around 2006, when W and the boys were spending like madman. their timing leaves a lot to be desired. all of a sudden Obama takes office, and they want their country back. give me a break

[MonkFan4Life]

CR I'm with you but I agree with dmek as well. I NEVER ever heard of the Tea Party until Obama won. Then all of a sudden it's let's take our country back and lets do like we did the British and dump Tea to show our strength. As a black man I saw it as that's our office, now get him out of here. That's just how I felt. The problem I have with them is that if it isn't the fact that Obama is President they use it to their advantage which is cool, but it just paints a certain picture for me. That's all. I understand that they are mad a government itself but like dmek said, if it's government itself then where were all the truckloads of Lipton Tea Bags then ?

I am not involved with the tea party, I just give my feelings or thoughts. That said, I think a lot of the timing is fairly coincidental. The republican party showed itself to be a useless tool, and at the same time the democratic party started pushing their grandiose government. Thus the tea party sprouted up by people who no longer believed that the republicans wanted a limited govt and didn't trust the dems promises of salvation by govt. At the same time, those who want change, but not "revolutionary" change, leaned to vote for Obama, as his slogan said, a change you can believe in. In the end, there is a lot of discontent, but it's assuaged by economics, and if the economy gets healthy the energy behind change will die out. But, like a fire, if the embers burn long enough, and the economy stays dry, a flame may burst forth.

I didn't mean to imply that you were if I came off that way. I just commented on what you and dmek were saying is all. You make some very good points though.

Really, Gene Robinson has never listened to Glenn Beck? Give me a break.

I wonder if that clown will bring his chalk board to educate his flock.

This. Republicans don't want small government.

They who cry for war at every instance are the antithesis of small government.

I'm loving the cannibalism going on within the Republican party.

I'm sure by now you've seen the news about the Tea Party candidate, Christine O'Donnell, beating out the favored Republican candidate in Deleware, who was a sure bet to help them win Joe Biden's old seat.
This race, along with a few others, dashed any hopes the GOP had of winning back the Senate.

I think this is good news for President Obama and Dems leading up to 2012.

Yea you guys keep saying that but you keep forgetting the tea party is also winning over the dems. If you think this will help the dems it might but we will have to see because if you look at the polls people are ticked at just about everyone in DC and that goes bad for who is in charge at the time.

I think its good news for Americans too. The more bona fide choices the better. Competition/alternatives/choices/ideas/ect - the more the better

That largely depends on the choices, ideas, ect.

One thing is sure the Tea Party is dragging the GOP further to the right, and while the anger towards government and Washington is legit, Republicans and the Tea Party have yet to provide any solutions.

I got two words for you in 2012: Sara Palin.

I have no doubt that if she partakes she will win...and Lord Obama will have another four years to run the show. I'm crossing my fingers.

I don't see how she doesn't run for POTUS in 2012. If she ignores the polls, as she should, she can rally the conservative base like no other Republican and cruise to a nomination.

It's funny, here we are almost two years following the last presidential election and we have no idea about any of Sarah Palin's policy prescriptions for the country. That's scary.

Amazing... historically speaking a party with divisions always loses...ALL WAYS! Thank God for the Tea Party.
