Harry Reid said the Tea Party will disappear, how prophetic
"The Tea Party will disappear when the economy gets better and the economy's getting better all the time," Reid said in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" that aired Sunday.

"And I wouldn't -- I don't think the Tea Party had the vigor and support that people thought it would. You know, a couple of them won, but most of them lost," he said.


Rand Paul be dammned.

3. I think this is already happening
Edited on Mon Jan-10-11 12:26 PM by ck4829
A couple tea party groups still have a banner calling for Congress to go home during the lame duck session and another is asking for a thousand dollars as a "Christmas contribution" and has so far only received about $250.

I wonder if they'll get (more) violent once they start to realize the movement is crumbling.

4. Since the bulk of their members are senior citizens, there's a good chance that will happen
but quite naturally.

6. I was pleased when I heard him say that. He also said SS won't be touched.
