Not even close suds. DESPITE what the drive by media would have you believe, republican voter registration has gone up just about the same amount it did before the 2010 mid terms. And we all know how that turned out. It was a HISTORIC blood bath for democrats. The largest turnover of office from one party to another at the local, state and federal level in the history of this country. Heck, a little town near me got it's first republican sheriff since 1920! ;~)Just sayin, the TP is dead.
One thing that HAS changed is that democrat registration has dropped almost proportionally to a corresponding increase in independent registration.
I wouldn't worry about the movement. TEA Party people are NOT necessarily party affiliated, but they are REALIST. Ron Paul can not win the presidential election. Newt CAN...and he'd be a DAMN sight better than Romney or Obama.
I mean, Donald Trump donated money to Obama and endorsed Romney. THAT ought to tell ya something!
What we have to do is elect constitutional conservatives to office in our local and state governments AND CONGRESS!
Then it won't matter WHO the president is!
With all due respect, how on earth can you claim Newt can win but Ron Paul cant when polls are showing the exact opposite? I'm no Ron Paul supporter as anyone here can attest to, but There is absolutely zero evidence that Newt has a better shot than Ron Paul going head to head against Obama.
If we could create a candidate with Ron Paul's domestic policy and Newt's Foreign policy, without all the character issues, we would have a truly strong candidate. but this person is fictious.
