Beyond the Primaries: How Much Impact Will the Tea Party Have Now?

THE INCUMBENTS FROM BOTH PARTIES HAD BETTER BE WORRIED....

The status quo has been shaken. When Bush admin mouthpiece Karl Rove blatantly throws a Tea Party GOP winner to the dogs you KNOW that all of the power elite are worried, Republican, and Democrat alike. The Republicans wrongly believed that they could coast to a majority on the coattails of the Tea Party . The Democrats, feeling the pressure from the GOP, and the Tea Party, uses the media, and Hollywood to attack both. The more they do that, the more they expose themselves. The MACHINE is being exposed. We have had enough! This will be again a Government of the people, by the people.

Too many established media and political figures totally underestimate the frustration of the American public with "politics as usual" that supports people who's primary concern and interest is getting re-elected, rather than putting the welfare of this nation first. Also, it's generally felt that too many in politics and the media no longer hold to traditional values such as character, honor and integrity. It seems that their typical approach to issues is "what's in it for me". I believe these concerns are felt by the vast majority of the population, regardless of political party, and this frustration will be demonstrated in November when we all go to the polls.

I believe most of you are missing the major point. The Tea Party is only a manifestation of an abusive irresponsible government. And IT IS NOT JUST OBAMA...I will agree with our dem and liberal friends on one point ...this began long before Obama...it's just that this administration has made the tyranny cystaline. The tea party IS A GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT,,,,it will not be stopped because critical mass has been reached. It is and will continue to stream roll ahead because as much as the dems and libs refuse to admit it, it is every day folks who finally awoke to the reality of the recklessness of this and previous administrations.. . ALL THESE GATHERED PEOPLE WANT IS RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT!!!!WHY IS THAT FRINGE OR RADICAL...WHY???

The key to the results of the November 2 election is totally dependent on turn-out. If the Republicans and the Tea Party show up in numbers greater than 50%, their candidates have a chance of winning. Should the Republicans and the Tea Party supporters turn out in numbers equal to or greater than the Democrats, the Republican Party will regain control of both the House and the Senate. Obama's Presidency will be finished. It's all up to enthusiasm. In 2008, Obama had the support of over 90% of some voting groups while Republicans sat at home. The election will be effectively won or lost in the next six weeks, not on election day.

Anyone who pays taxes should be a member of the TEA Party! We are taxed enough already! Remember when BHO said he was going to go through the budget line by line with a finetooth comb. Hasn't happened! Like many others, I just want my tax$$$ used wisely. Cut the riduculous overspending! When you want additional funding, cut somewhere else. SIMPLE! Use our tax dollars like they were your own!!!

The once-proud Republican party has been taken over by the Tea Party group. As an Independent voter , what I have seen, read and heard of the Tea Party would,in no way, cause me to give them my vote or financial support. Their behavior towards the President can only be described as shameful and, sadly, there is no defined Republican leader to tell them to tone it down. It seems the more off-the-wall and crazy a candidate becomes, the more they are supported by the Tea Party and Sarah Palin who, herself, is not a woman I would want to see in any elected office of substance. These are not the people who should be running our country.

The Tea Party stands for "Taxed Enough Already," or "No taxation without representation.? It's not going away, so get used to it. It's not a racist organization, because there are a goodly number of minorities involved in this movement.

The American people are so angry . They did not get it when they lost Ted Kennedys seat and now they will lose Bidens and many more . Hang on to your hat the best is yet to come .

They will have as much impact as voters give them. They will continue to fight for our freedoms, limited government spending, private enterprise and lower taxes. The tea party movement does not like what's going on in WA and either do I. I like some of their candidates and others not so much, so what? They can't take over my mind, I will vote for the candidate I think fits my political beliefs.
