    the time is not now. Obama’s bungling and roosters coming home to roost are handling our job for us.

    Always quietest before the storm though, and the TEA Storm is on the radar for the coming months

    @blahblahblah- that sounds right to me, the tea party hasn’t come all this way just to quit.

    It’s not necessary to make noise while reloading. Just click, click, click……clunk. Cock. Then wait, tick, tock. Then vote.

    Please! That is *clearly* a picture of George Zimmerman. Look at all that whiteness.

    Can’t be George Zimmerman – even MSNBC admits that Zimmerman has a little bit of hispanic in him. Not enough to avoid being put in the evil racist white camp, though.

    I’d like to see the old guy emote the “Alas, poor Yorick” speech from “Hamlet”. That would be worth watching.

    Not where I live. Twice a month. Tom Mcclintock is a regular. They have signs up all over the place. And I’m ashamed to say I have not been able to attend a meeting yet. Works a bitch. But in Northern Cali they are huge.

    The Tea Party is still a going concern here in my southern California town, too. You’re lucky to have Tom McClintock, Brad – he used to be our local guy down here and he’s the first politician I liked enough to send money to. :-)

    I see how it is. The Onion’s piece is assuming the Tea Party actually has faded away and – ha ha – maybe it’s just because they’re biding their time – ha ha – and might actually turn up again – ha ha.

    Hey Onion – ha ha – the Tea Party is not like Occupy, something put together just to make an intimidating visual impact but with no substance behind it and no lasting power. The early Tea Party public events are merely the place where we concerned patriots finally found one another, and from there we networked, formed action groups, got involved in New Media, put forth candidates and actually voted. Guess what, Onion – ha ha – now that we are networked we don’t need public rallies to keep going. We don’t necessarily need you to know that we are still operating, or to tell you what we’re up to. Unlike Occupiers, most of us have jobs and families that take precedence over public presentations, but all the passion is still there as strong as ever, and you’re going to feel it at every election for a long, long time. Ha ha. Let’s see who’s laughing in November.

    Name Redacted, Tom Mcclintock, Dan Lungren. Both super conservative, fighting the battle. Both need everyone’s support.

    @Name Redacted–

    A hundred thumbs-ups!!!

    You, Brad, and I can testify that the Tea Party is alive and very well, thank you, in Northern CA, Southern CA, and right here in the Bay Area.

    blahblah’s got it right, Obungles and withHolder are doing the work for the Tea Party, with a LOT of help from the blogosphere!

    Timing is everything – you have to peak at the right time for maximum effectiveness. That time has not yet come, but when it does, there will be silence no more.

    Guess the libs haven’t quite figured out who it is that keeps spanking them in elections since 2009.

    Elections must be very disheartening to the socialists/commie/fascists bootstompers, knowing they can’t change the will of the people unless fraud is involved.
