Is The Tea Party Over? »

Posted By Tumultuous 2 weeks, 6 days ago in Political Opinion

The tea partiers are launching the revolution. This week. But will anyone actually show up?

On Sunday, Rep. Michele Bachmann challenged viewers of Sean Hannity’s Fox News show to join her last-ditch attempt to kill health care reform. The fiery Minnesota Republican plans to hold a press conference at "high noon" on Thursday.

    I think their revolution has a chance.

    There aren't many people more revolting than Michele Bachmann or Sean Hannity.

    Looks like the tea partiers defeated a lib Republican and a couple of Dems for starters. Just getting warmed up for the Congressional elections!

    I hope not. The tea parties have no cohesive agenda and squander the resources of the right while keeping the loons busy and out in the open. Besides, they're an endless source of amusement.

    Are the tea parties over? Close,but not yet.As with the tea party of our fore fathers it was,and is to prepare for revaluation, restore freedom,and liberty.This president takes for granted we are going we are going stand by while he dismantles America one speech at a time.We do not,and will not stand for a government health care debacle.We do not believe that the bailouts gives you the authority to push people around.We did not give you right to run both the house,and senate you have turned these democrats into clones,and clowns.I can,t understand a supreme court that watches you dismantle contractual law,and own large parts of American industry.You have left many citizens in real bind,while payiny off the unions for 2008,buying their support for 2010,and 2012.So you give us no choice we will defeat you,and your party.We have just begun to fight.
