Did the Tea Party peak with Beck's rally in Washington?

Looks to me like they, the Tea-baggers, have shot their wad. The parties' over, and now the big money has moved in in force and the result? The Tea-baggers have been tossed aside. Good riddance to old trash as far as I'm concerned but its a much different question as to how everyday Americans will react to a full frontal assault of the arrogance of the rich.

I do not think there has been another time in my near half century of voting when so many people were being convinced to vote against their own self interest.
