Question ~ who is the leader of the "Tea Party" ...


I keep hearing/reading that the "Tea Party" controls the Republican Party.

Who is their leader now -- who speaks for them?

How many members do they have as of today?

How many did they have during the Debates between Herman C. and the other clowns?


I don't believe the Tea Bags are in charge of anything , if so Rmoney would not have been "selected."

The Toilet Paper Brothers and the 1% own the Republicant Party.

Just my opinion

Without a leader, they will continue to flail about, creating confusion and bad feelings within the Republican party.

Sweet, isn't it?

Have not heard from them in a long while ---

The Republicants should have enough money to pay the Baggers off.

Ok, admittedly that describes most of the people in that party.

And, definitely not the Queen of Hearts, since most of those people don't seem to have one. Not a beating one, anyway.

From what I've seen of DeMint he isn't smart enough to orchestrate this debacle on his own.

Hmmm, what's all this about pivoting the US military from the sandlands to the western Pacific?

Is that just coincidental?

Hey, you! Yes, you there by the curtain...wipe that s**t eating grin off yer face!

it makes accountability difficult. They are an arm of the Koch Brother's militia for usurping the government of this nation.

They are saying that the stumbling block is " Social Security etc. etc,"

NO! The stumbling block is that the Tea Party does not control this --- it is the TPBrothers that have wiped their fingers all over not giving an inch to the tax on the $$ more in taxes.
