WASHINGTON (AP) — Tea party groups have failed again and again this year to win expensive, high-profile Senate races in Kentucky, Oklahoma, Mississippi and elsewhere.
After two weeks of trying to get a deal done to reopen the federal government and raise the debt ceiling, several Republicans have come out to question the motives of the Tea Party.
Shreveport's IRS office on Knight St. was the site of a local Tea Party protest today. Members of the Red River Tea Party rallied to show their disdain for the federal tax organization's biased treatment of Tea Party and other right-wing groups.
