What the TEA party gatherings are loosing is media coverage.
1000 patriotic men and women gather to peaceably protest the destruction that the liberal administration and Senate is doing to our Republic, and not a peep from the media.
Yet when less than 100 liberal occupy malcontents get together to spew their hate for the free enterprise system that made our Republic strong, the media trips over themselves to portray how these morons are some how speaking for the majority of Americans.
Is the Tea Party losing steam?

More than three years after its inception, the tea party continues to
attract support from more than four in 10 Americans. But a new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds waning interest in the political movement and a drop in the number of women giving positive reviews of its message.
In the new poll, 41 percent of Americans support the tea party, and 45
percent oppose it, similar numbers to those in polls throughout the past
year. As in previous polling, strong opponents outnumber strong
supporters by 2 to 1. But half express less intense feeling either way.

I'm sure there will always be a few hold outs no matter how pathetic they seem.
Between the ears.

We will remember in November.
Silly me!
Like how, exactly? I'd love to hear this.
By failing to compromise and it has to be their way or the highway, including fighting their own leaders, the legislation that is going thru state houses assaulting women's health issues, you throw in voter i.d. legislation also perpetrated by the tea party, and viola, you have states like Ind., Wis., Ohio. up in arms over the continued incompetent governing Blocking, fillibustering, stonewalling every initiative this Administration has had to get us on our feet again and willing this President to fail and not giving a fig if the rest of the country fails with him.
Voter ID laws aren't tea party-based, they're AMERICAN based. Hawaii, probably one of the bluest states in our union where I reside, REQUIRES you to have a photo ID in order to vote. Why? Because it's the RIGHT thing to do. The libs here get it, I don't know why you folks can't! CUT THE BS AND FEAR-MONGERING!
"By failing to compromise and it has to be their way or the highway ... Blocking, fillibustering, stonewalling every initiative this Administration has had to get us on our feet again..."
Your way isn't always the RIGHT way! Getting us on our feet? This president has done absolutely NOTHING to curb spending. Hell, his budget was vetoed by EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT IN THE HOUSE! He's been utterly unsuccessful at curbing unemployment, which is directly attributed to his inability to remove himself from obstructionist and penalizing policies against the private sector. "Buffet Rule"? "Raise taxes on the wealthy"? That's just a wad of utter CRAP. At least Republicans have put worth and passed a sensible budget. The Democrat-controlled Senate has REFUSED to pass a budget, and Barack Obama has REFUSED to govern responsibly by REFUSING to sign such a budget if it reached his desk. We c...

We can see who the REAL obstructionists are here, and it ain't tea partiers.
You can label tea partiers as obstructionist, blockers, whatever the hell you want. But we're speaking out against the irresponsibility within this Administration and the federal government. If you pay that much attention to us and have the nerve to label us as such, then we are certainly NOT irrelevant. Thank you for proving your own denial!
We tried it your way cupcake and there was nothing that succeeded. If you can tell me one law or piece of legislation that spoke to the Main Street Americans, I would love to hear it. I would have been appalled had any of the proposed budgets been passed because they all just continue to make the wealthy wealthier and dump the costs on the middle and under classes.
Voter ID laws are in every way American. They keep the system HONEST because there is ACCOUNTABILITY to who's voting. If there are restrictions that you feel are inhibiting the elderly from voting, then you should be pushing for REFORMS to voter ID laws. That's the sensible thing to do, that's the honest the to do. But no, you are not, because you and the folks you support benefit heavily from the innocent and unwittingly ignorant immigrants that come to this country looking for a better future.
"We tried it your way cupcake and there was nothing that succeeded. If you can tell me one law or piece of legislation that spoke to the Main Street Americans, I would love to hear it."
I'd love to name one, but unfortunately, they all got REJECTED by the DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED Senate and White House. Republicans unfortunately only control one half of one branch of government. The obstructionism is occurring from the Democrats in every way, if not more.
"I would have been appalled had any of the proposed budgets been passed because they all just continue to make the wealthy wealthier and dump the costs on the middle and under classes."
That's your ideology talking, "darling".
Yes sweetpea, we do have different ideologies. I would feel guilty if I had yours
I am not sure of that data, so I will verify that later. But on to the point, elections MUST be honest. The goal of voter ID laws isn't to restrict eligible voters from voting, it is to make sure INELIGIBLE voters aren't partaking in the system, and to have accountability as to who is voting (once or even multiple times). Here in Hawaii, all that is required is a simple photo ID. It does not even need to be a current ID, it can be expired. Hawaii has a VERY diverse demographic, in case you do not know, so when the mostly Democratic and few Republican legislators came up with this policy, it wasn't to restrict minorities or old people from voting, it was to bring ACCOUNTABILITY and HONESTY to the system. (Not that that was a problem though. My time serving as an elections volunteer, I saw ZERO people turned away because they didn't provide ANY type of voter ID. If anything, they didn't realize that they hadn't been a registered voter, but that was easily resolved at the polling station). And that's what we as Republicans and conservatives support. If that makes you feel guilty, then good, because corruption in this country needs to GO.
When I was your age, I had been retired for 5 years.
I just bought a new union made Harley Davidson. How are you doing ?
You can fool some of the fools all of the time.
