Either they have died, been Raptured, or figured out they were being used by the RNC!



That's Nikki Haley, Tea Party darling and new Governor of South Carolina speaking on the steps of the Statehouse in Columbia. Originally scheduled to include an appearance by The Donald, this tea party rally was anticipated to have around 2,000 participants. Unfortunately, Trump was made a chump by Obama and dropped all ego-glorifying pretension to running for president, which included backing out of this South Carolina appearance.

So there's Nikki Haley, all by her lonesome....literally:

Trump’s decision to not enter the GOP presidential race left local Tea Party leaders stewing about the way they had been treated. But about 30 people were on hand Thursday to thank Gov. Nikki Haley, lawmakers and activists for their work to require more on-the-record Legislative votes.

It was all part of a tough week for the state’s Tea Party movement.
On Wednesday, the S.C. House reversed course and approved a controversial sales tax break for online retailer Amazon. Thursday, the S.C. Senate voted down a proposal that would have rebated any better-than-expected state tax collections to income tax filers.

Columbia Tea Party chairman Allen Olson expected as many as 2,000 would have attended Thursday’s rally had Trump been there. But The Donald, a favorite of many who attended the group’s Tax Day rally with U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., elected to not run and dropped the rally from his schedule.

“It was a kick in the gut, but it gives you a chance to regroup,” said Olson. “He’s a businessman. He showed his worth.”

And frankly, he showed the worth of the tea party. Thirty attendees, huh? Yeah, that's a powerful and influential group. Contrast that to the 2,500 who came out in March to protest state budget cuts to education and health care.

But who do you think the media will ask about--appeasing those 30 never-say-die tea partiers or the thousands of populists fighting for education and healthcare?

So we lost out on a good Healthcare bill because the trump up Media fixated on a few nuts! Time to fight it out with the Elite and their Media!

Not sure what you mean, but I wish it was going to be this easy. I guess we'll find out soon  enough who is going to come out and be counted. So far it's a slow start all around. People need to get together and make demands. Old guys like me are gung ho enough but the young have to get in the fray. Not enough boomers on the side of the people to swing the pendulum.

I suppose that in any other country, a political group that started off calling itself something like teabaggers (exhibits A and B), they would have been instantly laughed out of existence.  But, this is America, and in America, moronic behavior can sometimes be a political asset (exhibits A and B).

You are telling the truth. Only in America can something so vile, and ridiculous gain a foothold and make waves.

Morning Ziggy, I remember I got in trouble for running the You talking to me scene as a reply to Aiypis over at current. He took it as a threat, Hah he finally figured out I'm a bit crazy.  Hehe:)

I'm not sure, him and I had some pretty epic battles, when I felt like fighting with a troll! I do think he was scared.
