Is Badmutha the new Navy Pride?
I'm of similar sentiment that the Tea Party had promise but it got hijacked by the GOP and its celebrities.
I never understood working class Republicans. Why vote for a leader whose stated platform is to take everything you have and give it to his friends? As opposed to Democrats, whose platform is to take some of what you have, if you don't have a lot, and more if you do, and give it to those who have nothing, and help them contribute to the generally stuff-getting process for everyone.
Wait... How do republicans take from the poor and give to the rich. specifically please....
Yeah this ONE RALLY was clearly a make it or break it moment........clearly Freedom Jamboree was the deciding factor for the entire future of the Tea party......its all over....the sleeping giant just went back to bed.
Just keep talking......2012 is sweet and getting sweeter........

Look no further than the GOP hero Reagan, who cut taxes on the wealthiest in half and raised taxes on the middle class. You can't get any more specific than that.
Close, but not quite. According to recent polling, the republican candidate that would beat Obama would be "any of the above." But thanks for playing!

Its funny how the right-wingers like to use that map of the United States....what they don't tell you is that 80% of the PEOPLE of this country live in the blue colored areas. Most of the red flyover areas are sparsley populated.
By opposing a progressive tax structure
Can you be specific, what rate was the rich taxed at, and what rate was the middle class taxed at? When did this happen? :lamo
Wait so, by rich people being taxed at the same rate as poor people, it's taking poor people money and giving it to the rich?
Really?
This is your argument?
Really? :lamo
Rich people pay a lower rate than the middle class.
What percentage rate do the rich pay, what percentage rate does the middle class pay.
Simple question.
This is a non answer, and not true.
Tell us again how the Tea Party is dying off.......when Obama gets his ass tossed to the curb in 2012

The Tea Party has become too emeshed with the Republican Party. When it started it was grass roots and popular response to the healthcare legislation, bailouts and threatened taxation that would be needed to pay for it all. It's been taken over by splinter groups and mainstream conservative groups, demonized by the media, and become unfocused. The entrenched two party system just wasn't going to allow another group to gain too much power.
How can the tea "party" not be too embedded with the republican party when they are republicans? If the Tea party was truly an actual party then they would have actually formed their own party not be republicans pretending to not be republicans even though they still carry the big R next to their name.
