Since I'm on the subject of the Tea Party..Seems like for them, the party may be over..and this from one of their own members....
The party that supposedly changed the tide of the 2010 congressional races is reportedly on its last legs, according to the Daily Beast.
Many expected the Tea Party to have a major role in the 2012 Republican presidential primaries. But surprisingly (only to their supporters,however few that may be.), the movement has played a minimal part in affecting the direction of these primaries, and Tea Party leader Chris Littleton believes the movement may have been taken off the respirator in the past few months.
"The Tea Party movement is dead. It's gone," says Chris Littleton, co-founder of the Ohio Liberty Council, a statewide coalition of Tea Party groups in Ohio. "I think largely the Tea Party is irrelevant in the primaries. They aren't passionate about any of the candidates, and if they are passionate, they're for Ron Paul." Crazy ass Ron Paul...This says a whole lot.
In a race that is turning out to be Mitt Romney's race to lose, the Tea Party seems to hold little sway, unable to rally around one candidate and with no central leadership figure. Affecting congressional races is one thing; affecting a presidential race is another matter altogether.
So once again in the words of Dandy Don Meredith -"Turn the lights out....The Party's over!

Yeah, let's stick a fork in it: it's done! The tea-party, to me, is no more than a racist response to the election of a black man! Oh, they said the tea party started before Pres. Obama but they jumped straight up in the air when that man of African descent was sworn in! Good riddance to bad rubbish!! Also, last night PBS did a special on the Freedom Riders. In it was a quote from Robert Kennedy saying that there soon would be a "Negro" president. Kennedy said that to alleviate Europe's disdain for the treatment of blacks during the '60s.
