The Tea Party did not get a win. Apparently the voters are tired of their shenanigans.

With all the talk about a Tea Party supporter losing a race by 2 points that was supposed to be a blow-out in Virginia, in that exact same state with those exact same constituents, the Lawyer for the Tea Party of Virginia (Mark Obenshain) and a huge supporter of the Tea Party (way more influential than Cuccinelli), was elected as Attorney General (the seat that Cuccinelli gave up to run for governor). But now, that particular race is up for a recount, because Democrats forgot to insert a fake, Obama-backed, so-called "Libertarian" into the race to take votes away from the Tea Party candidate and help their person win. Clearly, the Democrats are very concerned with how strong the Tea Party is. They know that a recent poll from the Wall Street journal showed that 5 million more Americans support the Tea Party than voted for Obama in his second election.

point is they are making a big point look at Virginia, the republicans didn't throw as much money to help the candidate and the democratic one got ten times the cash and barely won. when the votes came in from the section filled with government employees they don't have to worry about Obama care that tilted it, but by not much and don't forget there were probably a few dead people voting. LOL So they are making a point and it shows. It should have been a landslide with his platform.

"with ideals of the Founding Fathers"?
Other than slavery i have no idea what that would be. Do you even know what the original tea party was about?
