I thought the Tea Party was fizzling out

Local couple forms Tea Party chapter

By Thor Jourgensen / The Daily Item

LYNN — They have raised three children, worked as a police dispatcher and home care provider, and now Kenneth and Mary Anne Novack are entering the political world as organizers of the Greater Lynn Tea Party.

1. They are fizzling out and some are getting old as these people apparently are.

Political movements don't come to an instant halt. There will be death throes.

[graywarrior]

5. I will keep my eyes open for the throes

I drive to Lynn at least once a week

[JoePhilly]

2. The GOP has chained up their monster ... and put it on a diet.

Which is why there is not a Tea Party candidate anywhere in sight in the GOP primaries.

The Tea Party dopes are too stupid to see that they are only as significant as the GOP establishment allows them to be.

[JoePhilly]

3. Odd that the article does not discuss their opinion of Social Security, Medicare ... or

Unemployment insurance.

I wonder how they feel about those ...

[RKP5637]

4. Let's see ... cut retirement, civil workers ... cut SS and cut Medicare -

eliminate healthcare (obamacare) and kill unemployment insurance ... and while we're at it ... no assistance for older people / seniors. Yep, that ought to work really well for them. Sure hope they're not planning on any HUD assistance.

[Lint Head]

9. Hell lets contact these people and suggest they protest Medicare and Social Security

by refusing them. They would then be just like the real tea party that threw the tea overboard when they protested
taxation without representation as opposed to the phony reason they have been fed by the mega rich and the echo chamber the mega rich owns.

[RKP5637]

10. That, is an excellent idea!!! You know, I was thinking when Perry said congress is

a part-time job, why is being a governor full-time, Perry should set an example and go get a real job. Also, why should a governor have a governor's mansion. Perry should be able to afford his own house. Why is Perry on Public Welfare for Politicians.

11. Children could partner with the seniors and become janitors!

[madinmaryland]

14. Well. They got theirs, so fuck everyone else. Typical teabagger mentality.

[RKP5637]

15. Isn't that the truth. Someone was telling me recently, I think it was on DU, that

where they live a lot of people are collecting SS and Medicare, etc., that have a fair amount of money living in gated communities that are pretty much all teabaggers ... and they don't give a damn about anyone else in the country, they got theirs and the hell with the rest of of the country, as you say, typical teabagger mentality.

[graywarrior]

6. Yeah, I wonder who covered her arm injury

[JoePhilly]

7. I wondered that too.

Its pretty obvious that they are not rich people.

I'm betting ... they bought the "God, gays, guns, scary Muslims, minorities get all the breaks" nonsense that the GOP sells.

And if we could move the camera, we'd see Fox News on the TV.

12. I love how they're from Salem but starting the Tea Party in Lynn

Lynn is filled with whackos.

[Warpy]

16. I noticed that, too. They knew they'd get no traction in Salem

which is higher income and better educated. Lynn is where most of the bitter old white guys like the retired desk cop in this story live. And Malden.

They're just smart enough to realize they've been had. They're not smart enough to realize the people they believed in, from Nixon to Reagan on down the line, are the ones who allowed the deed to be done and that they were suckered.

18. Just read the comments on any story in the Daily Lynn Item

All hateful racists with very few rational people trying to make sense. A way different city from when I grew up there and was surrounded by liberals and dems.

[onethatcares]

8. "the next step is to get out and talk to people"

so they've been sitting in their home discussing things between themselves after readin sarahpalin and glen beck.

I bet they have a lot to say.

[graywarrior]

13. At least they can read

[HopeHoops]

17. GET OUT THE SECRET WEAPON!!!! - Duct Tape.
