#1 ACORN or Occupy Wall Street morphs into a Tea Party-like organization? It's never going to happen. The looney left is still going to be the looney left no matter what you call it. Acorn-like groups are fundamentally anti-American whereas the Tea Party represents a more moderate and main-stream America.

#2 Does that means you won't trash the sites of your protests?

#3 The Tea Party was founded on classical principles. The only principle the Left has is power. They already have plenty of existing organizations seeking that.

#4 ironic

the Tea Party was polite and honest and was accused of all kinds of things by the left

ACORN and ANSWER are nasty and dishonest and are given 'tut tut' coverage by the media and praise by the left

also, Donald Trump, while being many things is not a Tea Party guy -- he wants a big infrastructure program run by govt., big govt trade policy -- all things the Tea Party was against -- I think Trump may have some taxation policies that the Tea Party would like but that's about all

#5 Haven't they tried this already a few times? Coffee party and such?

They'll have just as much success this time.

#7 Wasn't Occupy Wall Street the 'Tea Party of the Left'? Wasn't the Coffee Party the 'Tea Party of the Left'?

I hope Soros spends a fortune on this foolishness re-branding his foot-soldiers and stooges.
