I said (my own words) not two years ago the TP was still in it's infancy and what it would turn into is still left to be seen. Now what I see is something not so great. It doesn't mean I'm touting for the left OR the right because that is irrelevant to this particular conversation.
For the record I'm a liberal turned independent. I'm socially liberal. I think what a woman does with her own body is best left between herself, her doctor and her God.
But when it comes to my pocket book and the Gov't's access to it I tend to get a little conservative.
Now, that said, I suggest the tea party has been hjacked, co-opted whatever you choose to call it by forces that only want to use it for their own gain. And I assert that is a shame because what they had was great!!
Example?
Who did the hijacking? Show us the examples. I assert you're full of shit.
History of the Tea Party Movement — Infoplease.com
That the Tea Party went from a grassroots movement to being run on a national level by Dick Armeys FreedomWorks is just fact. It wasnt until FreedomWorks took over the national message that the Tea Party went from a middle class uprising to a radical right mouthpiece. And it was then it lost its credibility and steam.
It's a shame really. Had it not been co-opted, it may have been a real force to affect positive change.
