Why are the tea baggers so damn quiet with the tax cuts and unemployment benefits

[bigdarryl]

you have not heard a peep out of them since the elections a month ago.Just a though

[emulatorloo]

1. Only thing I can figure is they feel like they will all be rich someday.

Think Joe the Plumber bitching about his Obama tax cut.

[FSogol]

2. They haven't been told what to yell about yet.

:shrug:

[young but wise]

3. +1

The tea party is not a real movement.

[CTyankee]

4. Are we the only people who believe this?

I think it is all a big phony. It was set up by Dick Armey and some very rich people who are manipulating the press and the public into thinking that a tea party actually exists as a party.

When will the truth come out?

5. Now that they've won something, they've gone back to calling themselves Republicans again.

[zoechen]

6. They have not been seated yet? n/t

Edit: Typo

[jwirr]

7. Nobody is paying them.

[Uzybone]

8. Don't worry, they'll be back in the summer of 2012

just in time for the media and some on the internet to ignore their racist rallies and act as if they are a legit populist movement against President Obama.

9. Here in Cortez, Colorado they've moved on to recalling the local government.

Less than a week after the elections, the Republican Party storefront on Main St. became the "Recall Government" storefront. They claim no connection to the Tea Parties, of course.:eyes: The best part is it's next door to the "smoke" shop. Hard to tell who's higher.:rofl:

10. Cuz it was never about those things! Pssst it's the "Urban President"!!

Bastards!

[RichGirl]

11. They are delusional.

They thought they were a powerful force that could take over the government. The fact that all their candidates didn't win by a landslide was probably an eye opener.

I don't know what they are for or against and I bet they don't either. They want their country back. Who knows what the hell that means. They don't want socialism. I bet not one of them even knows what socialism is.

After the elections, whoever was financing them probably realized it wasn't a good investment of their money.

12. Teabaggers are just the knee that reacts when

the jerks command!

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

13. actually, they may be talking quite loudly, for all we know

Its just that the media is not paying any attention to them, having served their purpose and all.

[FrenchieCat]

14. Exactly!

Plus, why have them keep taking him down, when his own side
is doing it for them? Why should they get in the way? It
would be overkill.......and that is only needed right before elections.
