Why don't we rate a chapter? Is PWC too conservative for the Coffee Party? Prince William County is Annabel’s private sociology lab… Why don’t we rate a chapter?

Annabel said she “love me long-time, Joe”

This could mean: 1. Annabel will not suffer any criticism from the members. 2. Coffee party policies do not look attractive when light of day is shed on them. 3. Annabel can't take it when the negative focus is on her. It's only fun for her when she uses her video camera and creative editing to make others look bad. Probably all of the above.

Unlike the Tea Party movement, which is really and truly a bottom-up people's movement, the top-down CP was manufactured either in Annabel's busy little head or maybe even in a George Soros' boardroom. True astroturf, it is a huge bust. Its a little like when the Libs tried to force a left-wing radio network. There was no market demand for such a network but that didn't stop the Left. All they knew was they needed to combat Rush and Hannity. And the result was utter failure. This is one of the great political weaknesses of the Left....they try to manipulate a free market that they clearly don't understand. The Coffee Party isn’t working because its not real.

The TEA party spontaneously errupted, and the coffee party tried to "capture lighting in a bottle"...you can't do that, especially when your unifying principles are flawed to begin with.

The TEA party came into being due to voter dissatisfaction with the establishment Repubicans who were more interested in getting along with their Democratic colleagues in Congress (e.g. John McCain) than advancing the conservative cause. The TEA party was born out of frustration by conservative Republicans and Libertarians who were dissatisfied and fired up over the direction the US Government was going after the 2008 election and the excesses of liberals and the threat to liberty that the pose. What does the Coffee Party have to offer that doesn't already exist in the current Democratic Party? Anyone? Anyone? (Imagine me trying to sound like Ben Stein in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off.'") Greg:
