    Clearly. But sitting around in the streets chanting lame slogans isn't going to fix anything.

    The limited government/fiscal conservative types who embody the Tea Party are generally not politically active types. When non-politically active types start getting involved, it would behoove those in office to start paying attention or they are going to get run out of town. This is what separates the current movements taking place within the GOP and the Democratic Party. The main voices in the Democratic party (labor unions, special interest groups, minorities, etc) are always active and bitching about one thing or another. The Tea Party is a different animal.
    yeah the tea party never whined in public before(except for KKK,nazi protests) but a Kenyan president came into office so they came out of the woods. I get it.

    It's all good, but let's get shit straight the tea party wasn't out in herds when bush was wasting money left and right.

    True. But they were still pissed about it. Ask them. They didn't protest Bush the way they are protesting now because of a little thing called patriotic courtesy---Bush was getting bashed every single fukking day by the media and the liberals for the wars---and the Tea Party didn't want to add to that. Bush had enough going on he didn't need more bullshit to deal with. Now that the media has calmed down and isn't given Obama shit for how he's handling his military operations there's an opening for people to feel more comfortable in speaking their minds.

    The tea party protest for Bush was not showing up for the polls and voting for McCain.
