Title: Inside the "Tea Party Movement"
Post by: TVDOC on September 17, 2010, 02:49:56 PM: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews_excl/ynews_excl_pl3653

Best quote..........

Quote
From Washington's who's-in-charge-here perspective, the tea party model seems downright bizarre. Perplexed journalists keep looking for the movement's leaders, which is like asking to meet the boss of the Internet. Baffled politicians and lobbyists can't find anyone to negotiate with.

Quote
n American politics, radical decentralization has never been tried on so large a scale. Tea party activists believe that their hivelike structure is their signal innovation and secret weapon, the key to outlasting and outmaneuvering traditional political organizations and interest groups. They intend to rewrite the rule book for political organizing, turning decades of established practice upside down. If they succeed, or even half succeed, the tea party's most important legacy may be organizational, not political.

That's because when you get right down to it, you don't negotiate with, "We the People." You do as they say.

The left tries to spin it but the Tea Party is "We the People".
The Tea Party has them running scared.

I'm having a FB "discussion" with a few libtards about how "racist" the TP is. I'm not a member, but I know the frustration a lot of the TP members have. But then again, what do facts mean to a libtard?
