The truth is that the American middle class is being crushed by cheap, high quality foreign competition - mainly from China, but increasingly from India, who between them have 2.4 billion people. What will the Tea Party do about this when theyve finished shouting ? Especially as Karl Rove's 'American Crossroads' backers benefit from these cheap wages ?

The UN agreements are controlling over 200 countries now with the full cooperation of the world leaders. The point of globalization is to equalize economies, societies, and environments globally and its being done through the trade agreements that are made by the G20 and the G8. The Western nations are intentionally being downgraded while developing nations are are being upgraded through their industrialization. We can't even use our own oil. It is sold on the open market globally just like all oil in the world. Complete interdependence is being manipulated through these agreements as well. It is supposed to result in world peace.



Notice the universal health care, cap and trade. These are also part of the UN mandates to control health care and to control our use of energy. Its also tied into global climate change. We are also supposed to allow citizens of poorer nation the freedom to move to our country for a chance at a better life. This is also happening in other western nations. Outsourcing is another example of this with the H1B1 program. There are probably more foreign college students than American ones. We will shortly be under global governance. Other countries are well aware of what is going on but for some reason, it is not openly discussed in the US. I believe that is why our education system has also been downgraded. Read UN Agenda 21. Its the New World Order. Americans are too busy infighting about their party to notice the bigger picture. Neither party represents the American people anymore.

Yes, as far as the immediate results of the election are concerned - long term remains to be seen, but the evidence is very strong that the members are aroused, and angry and intend to hold the newly elected congress' feet to the fire -

Many people have begun to learn that in fact Barack Obama is, in the non-leninist sense, a true Marxist. The moves he has made in collusion with the congress and Senate are aimed ultimately at achieving phase one of the Marxist philosophy - "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" - unfortunately as more and more Americans grow in ignorance of the Constitution, and comfortable with their entitlements, they have fallen for the notion that the Government is responsible for their well-being and not they themselves - absurd, but true. We have, after all, a generation that has never changed a channel manually, and never opened a car door with a key! Sheep! - The most important thing that can be accomplished is the repeal of "Obamacare" first and foremost - the hidden costs in this obscene monstrosity are truly frightening (or should be) to the average wage earner. The Tea Party is made up of persons from all parties, all races, and all income and education levels - I myself am a member and hold two earned PhD's -- The solutions are simple, direct, and involve doing the tried and true - but the fight is with the government itself and those leaders who think that more government is better - wrong - the government is a consumer, not a producer - and the fervent desire of serious thinkers is that we adhere to the intent of the

Constitution - free-market capitalism built this formidable nation - it is the only way to go - and, by the way - the movement is not a political party - we are metaphorically throwing the king's tea and his taxes into the bay - not creating an organization. The political Left is just plain wrong - the democratic party is no longer the "party of the common man" - and when the "speaker" of the House says "we have to pass the bill to see what's in it!", then we have reached in new low in rank absurdity. Unbelievable.

No. There will not be enough tea partiers to act independently of the Republican Party. The Republicans will most likely only capture a majority of the House. Even if they capture a majority in the Senate, they will have no more than 51 or 52 seats, not enough to end filibusters or pass bills without compromising with Democrats. And President Obama will use his veto more. So what's really going to change? Not much.

Yes it can but if not The Tolerance Party and articles 27 and 29 of the United Nations Charter can make a diffrerence because they can be used to make a computer program which blocks oil companies and car sellers from web. Also the others could promote religious tolerance atheism and such in one party setting, sorry if answer annoys.

Of course they will, they have already solidified the Democrat majority in the Senate. No person that really Loves this Country would ever send one of those idiots to Washington.

The Tea Party worries those of us in Europe who think that it has connections with Sarah Palin, who, to us, seems like an uneducated person who likes shooting guns and killing things, but has no idea where in the world Iran is.



It worries me that many Americans think this is a good person to vote for.

No.

Even if they honestly cared about this, they would not be able to do anything so long as Obama holds the veto pen.
