"But WHY dont you take the Tea Party seriously!?"

Even a group of idiots can be an effective force if they are deployed correctly.

Yes, they are doing powerful works, exposing kids to porn...
 
Hang in there. The TP at least blazed a path and exposed the need, so now there's room to build.

Initially, I was VERY excited about the very idea of a grass roots, non-partisan, Tea Party. But it ended up being a sanctuary for too many of the same people that hijacked the GOP and cost them the last election. It sold out to the wingnuts. :( There is nothing in their future but losing, IMO.

And that's a shame. There are some good people really wanting to make a positive change within the initial movement. Now, it's all Palinites, John Whacko and Jane Whacko. Or, at least, those are the ones getting all the attention.

Keep the faith BD. Excuse me if I don't join you in your optimism. The common, sensible, man is but a guppy in the political pool of sharks. We are slaves to agenda driven media propaganda. Up is down, left is right, and old school conservatives are now new dawn progressives. Who can keep up anymore?
 
But the people you alluded to in your first post DO exist. It's just a matter of connecting the dots.

I'll take the Tea Party more seriously when they organize to something as more than just hundreds of local groups. Even a "state" level organization doesn't speak for much than the people directly in it.
 
I wonder if they have made an effort to join forces at a national level.
 
As much as I dislike the Anonymous and 4chan crowd, I think they serve an important purpose. They remind you that the world is a cruel and uncaring place that will bend you over a table and wale on your ass with a pipe without the slightest hesitation.

Taking a dump on an old lady to get giggles is not an example of "serving an important purpose."
It's just being a useless douchebag.

they also have a continuing feud with scientology, which ain't a bad thing, and they also got some kid arrested for torturing a cat, by hacking his youtube account and giving the info to the cops.
