Tea Party Silent

[longfisher]

Haven't heard much about the Tea Party lately. No caucus developed in Congress. No demonstrations reported of late. No holding the country hostage lately either.

What happened to them? Did they switch to coffee, instead?

My whole world has come to an end now that Sara isn't running....I'm afraid we're doomed no matter what happens....Obama again...999...or Mittens...all is lost to me...she was the only chance to lose the politicians and have a real person...I'm voting who ever is in - out.......

Maybe the grassroots people involved got tired of being mischaracterised by the leftist news media as a bunch of old, white, plantation owners.

OK, get this. The Tea Party is trying to rally business owners to not hire anyone, despite the desperate need for hiring in the U.S., until some ill-defined (or mostly defined by gibberish) conditions end. Essentially, they don't like Obama of Democrats and until they're out of office they're advocating there by no hiring. That's right. No hiring when the real unemployment rate (including disillusioned and underemployed) is near the all time highs of the Great Depression.

Unimaginably irresponsible. It certainly is characteristic of this bunch, anyway. If they can't have their way, even when their way is defined mostly by nonesense that make the Occupy Wall Street crowd seem decidedly focused...then they'll wreck everything, instead.

And, I thought they were being curiously silent of late. Hah!

First off, do you think there's no kooks in the OWS group? Picking out one idiot's comments and saying that's what the people who support the party represent isn't reasonable. Most of the people I know who supported the tea party liked it for the same core reason that they identify with aspects of the OWS crowd. They were opposed to the cozy relationship between gov't and the banksters and big business. The only difference is the OWS crowd doesn't seem to have a problem with the gov't portion of it, they just think business and banks are the problem. Basically they're the left version of the Tea Party. Eventually, as the crackpot factor in the OWS crowd comes out it will collapse too. It just may take longer because the mainstream media won't work as hard to smear something that's close to their core beliefs.

There are no Tea Party hostages when Republican all vote together. Nor can the dimocrats fluck up anything even when they stick together. Besides, the Tea Party need only sit back and let the Administration make the case for 'em. The stuff coming out of Washington just can't be made up ...

I Was Having A Really Good Wet Dream, Then A dimocrat Got Involved And Messed Messed It Up.

In general, your posts mystify me, Jay. The thoughts expressed in your posts seem so unrelated to one another.
