To answer the initial question with a question....
How long can semi-literate righteous indignation last?

Aaah, more simplistic solutions from simple minds.
Why dont you just get rid of your government completely. That would mean all government from national through state to county (do you have county government?). Lets follow it through. Get rid of all authority.
Well, fat yanks would certainly lose weight. No roads and no bridges so you'd do a whole lot of walking. No millie-dairy so anyone could invade and eliminate you (before Sarah Plain does it for you). No police, no firemen, no prisons, no jobs.
Yup, sounds just about what you deserve. Mud tracks and donkeys! Give me a yee-hahhhhhhh! or would that be an Eee-aw?

Respect a believers right to believe, but they should damn well repect our right to challenge such utterly illogical notions.

Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Just for historical clarification:
1 - THERE IS NO TEA PARTY!!!! There is a movement that reached national proportions with a common theme under the heading of Taxed Enough Already. It is not a political party in any sense of the word. The word "party" taken by the TEA party movement is in reference to a specific act of anti-tax protest that occurred a few years prior to the American Revolution.
2 - the vast majority of those who eventually identified themselves with the TEA party movement opposed TARP from the get go - and large numbers of them said so quite loudly. How convenient to forget this fact under the lie that they did not care until a democrat occupied the WH.
3 - The sustainability of the movement is entirely dependent on the action of the government in the next few years. If the new blood ends up being assimilated by the DC collective, then TEA will continue, but, again, not as a political party as the media and other clueless try to insinuate, but as a generalized banner for many people with a wide variety of diverse political philosophies (yes, even a few democrats and moderate liberals) to gather under to oppose out-of-control government spending, and the resulting justifications for higher taxation.
The tea party opposes the parts of the government that help people and relieve suffering and supports the parts of government that hurt people and cause suffering. Again, this is because the suffering of human beings entertains them. Put the fuckers in front of a firing squad.

Oh yes, one of those small minded individuals who thinks that we're in anarchy if the governments not telling you where to crap and making sure you wipe your ass correctly.
You have a very small minded post Lowaicue.
I can just see you in the rice field posting your best educated comments with the intent of making a point.

It just doesn't matter. Tea Baggers or not, nothing will change other than pace at which the redistribution of wealth from the bottom to the top continues. Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Communists, Socialists or whatever-ists, it just doesn't matter. Even if the Tea Baggers manage to avoid the pitfalls of corruption that the massive inflow of corporate/special interest cash traditionally engenders it still won't matter. The poor will stay poor, the middle class will continue to die and the top ten percent who own 90% of our nations wealth will continue to suck up the last few pennies. I do have to admit though that I get a kick out of how the Tea-Baggers like to scream "socialism!" when it's about the wealth being redistributed from the top down but it's just good old capitalism when it goes the other way around. A socialized upper class, what a hoot.
Call me a cynic but it looks to me like the game is rigged and not in our favor. We can scream and we can yell and we can vote until the cows come home but it's not going to make a damn bit of difference. With Reagan the rich got richer and the poor got poorer, same with Bush, same with Clinton, same with Bush II and now it's the same with Obama.
To quote a line from a favorite movie of mine: "...even if every man woman and child held hands together and prayed for us to win, it just wouldn't matter because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from Mohawk because they've got all the money!"
