Thread: Buyer's remorse sets in...

The tea party was born in early 2009, as a protest movement against the Troubled Asset Relief Program, better known as TARP or the Wall Street bailout, which was implemented by President George W. Bush in the autumn of 2008, and against the federal stimulus plan, officially known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, that President Barack Obama passed through Congress in early 2009. The grassroots movement became a player in Republican party politics over the past two years and tea party activists were instrumental in helping the GOP win back control of the House and narrow the Democrats' majority in the Senate in last November's midterm elections.

Trite and tired statement coming from your old, worn out handbook.

I never cared for them, they just seem like they do more harm than good.

Do they even work?



These 2 are all over the place.

Round and round...

Cops, firefighters turn on GOP in labor fight - Jeanne Cummings - POLITICO.com

I personally know police and firemen who feel this way and it floored me. I guess it's the same thing facing every American in the middle class, "We need to cut taxes and programs, as long as it doesn't personally affect me."

Most of my police and fireman friends here all vote republican but they don't like what they see and they know they are next.
They don't want to lose what they have now.

They'll never be next because collective bargaining is not the problem, it's just a convenient way to slash a budget that doesn't affect GOP politicians. The unions outside of firefighters and policemen will never vote republican.

False. Incorrect.

The Tea Party was started in 2007, by a non-partisan apolitical person, who has since dropped completely out of it, because the Tea Party was hijacked & co-opted by the main political parties, politicians, TV and radio show hosts.
