Uhh, no it's not, that's a leftist/rino lie!
TEA is an ideology, not a party. Every election rino ran on TEA principles, then once seated went about doing the exact opposite.
Thanks to our Marxist POTUS, he exposed the rino for what they are, and TEA as an ideology went about returning the nation to it's core values.
If TEA was as small as you claim, explain the last two midterm election landslides.

So how successful you are?

Huh?
That sounded like a statement with a question mark attached.
Care to expand?

No. It's a big difference between being well known and being elected.

Nope and nope.

Take a civilization on the brink of collapse and they'll just about grab at anything that will keep them afloat.  As in any great society, you have the percentage that are well doers and the greater percentage that are just workers.  Sadly, there are the underachievers                   that are mostly dependent on others.  What we have in America is a growing number of underachievers who are also low-information voters.  This number has grown under the influence of the liberal based handlers who use this to their own advantage.  Give out a few trinkets, make them wealthy minded by putting a few of them up in homes they can't afford and will eventually wreck, destroy, lose or all three, give the non workers a disabilty allowance(ck), smart cards(loosen the req. to get one of these) free healthcare because they are stupid(not actually physically sick) and you've got them voting for you.  That is what is continually supported by our LSM and Hollywood and any other liberal venue you can name.  This is what makes them well known.  Also gets votes by the truly stupid.   I don't guess it really matters what the end will look like to these stupid people when their handlers decide that there's just too many of them and starts thinning them out.

In 2010 we took a historical 700 plus Legislative seats across the nation, and this Nov seized both Houses with historic numbers.
Point is, belief in smaller govt is not a party platform of either political entities/enemies in the US under the monikers of Republican/Democrat, it's an ideology, one TEA promotes.

Put it this way, 2016 is looking good.  See?  We were really successful enough in replacing the dregs in our Congress, enough so that the heat has been applied to the rest of the non-achievers. All that remains is time to formulate the rest of the plan to get the liberals out of control. 

Now a question for you.  How much do you get paid to troll?

And 700 is how many %?

I saw you've beeen quite successful at the recent elections. But Republicans in general were quite successful.

Being in Italy I can understand why what has happened here in local elections is not fully understood. The GOP has been successful in taking over state legislatures and governorships during the Obama administration. The majority of these gains have been because Conservatives (TEA) have energized the citizenry. My home state of NC changed in 2012 to totally GOP in both houses of the legislature and the governorship for the first time in over 100 years. These changes also occurred in what many would color "blue" states. Without the TEA movement these changes would have never happened.

To give you an idea, the most that usually change is around 30 to 50 at best, so 700 is an unheard of amount.

A way of life. There was a time when it was social acceptance that everyone lived by Conservative ideals.

It is both.

I am conservative in my actions, finances and  overall way of life. I sowed my wild oats many years ago.

From a political standpoint I support what out founding fathers wanted this country to be and want government to be constrained. Obama summed it up before the 2008 election. In an interview he said he saw the US Constitution as restraint on government. That is when I knew he was not my man.

Solar,  I have always been very conservative and vote that way whenever possible. Voting conservative is easy in Texas in both local and state elections. The hard part is the national scene, the republicans do not offer real conservatives anymore. When we can run a tea party candidate for president on the republican ticket I will say you are correct, until then I will only say I hope you will be correct.
