They deserve it with the burning down the “House” approach.

C’mon if the Teabaggers were in the Revolutionary War we’d STILL be bitching about being part of the British Empire.

We just wouldn’t be doing anything about it.

There has been little actual pushback on the blast of hate, obstinance and vitriol that the Tea Party has brought forth. That 48% of people who have “no opinion” of TeaNuts include mountains of our younger brethren who are too busy trying to make a living on the flatline wages people have been on for the last 20 years.

There is a reason that commercials for sponsors of TV political programming are geared for people in the last age quadrant (75-100 years old).

Remember when the GOP just loved their TeaBabies?

Coddled them through infancy until their ‘tweens’?

Then, they helped get them elected where the TEAns turned into HouseTrashingJuvenileTeaLinquents


with John(TheWeeper) in charge


and the SenateSonsOfMitches filibustered while America burned.

HeckuvaJob Republicans.

The media played shadow puppet theater with these buffoons and projected an image of them much larger than life. And as long as they served to lure the slow witted into voting on behalf of the robber barons, everything was peachy.

But then something happened. The buffoons started to believe the false narrative. They actually thought they represented a vast movement, and started acting like it.

Realizing the buffoons cost them the Senate last outing, Wall Street has decided to deflate their balloon and bring them back down to size. In the wake of one embarrassment after another, the shadow puppet theater is officially over, and the media has been refocused on more plausible propagandizing.

They recognize Obamacare is a losing argument, so I suppose it’s all Benghazi, all the time, from now to November, all the way to 2016.

I am suspicious of the polling numbers simply because it is hard to fathom 7 percent of Democrats/Democratic-leaners supporting the movement. Seems awfully high. :wink:

Wow. It’s really stunning that their agenda of racism, homophobia, austerity and anti-science idiocy was unable to capture a larger audience.

7%? Naa, that seems about right when you consider firebaggers are prone to answering that way out of general principle.

The important part here however, is that the tea party is most definitely on the wane. The trend has been moving downward for some time, and its reflected in the financial problems besetting the tea party funding groups. I

This is cool and all, but don’t forget, Gallup is one of the absolute worst pollsters.
They even got dumped by USA Today. Ouch!

How bad would the Tea Party have to be for that 48% with no opinion to get one?

Well both the Tea Party and the GOP have jumped the shark. Their only hope now is to simply bore us into submission.

I mean, how can the media get excited over the repetitious GOP, with never a new idea and beating the same drum that says the poor are evil ‘takers,’ the rich are all powerful, unassailable, and unaccountable?

I guess that’s why they’re all for war (unless Obama threatens action, as in Syria): to break their terminal ennui.
