B******t.
Are you saying Bitch McConnell has joined the Tea Party? How about Mitt Romney? He gave Obomba another term. Did the Tea Party nominate Romney? What about Linda Graham? John Boehner? John McCain?
Yes, let's all join in the herd of RINOs as they line up to kiss Obomba's backside. That will put an end to Obomba's regime for sure.
You mean the GOP "good manners" of always caving in to the Left, and not holding the Dems to their word (see 1986 Immigration reform), or to legal limits? Yeah, you're right. We don't need good manners like those. We need people in office who will fight for what we believe in, and we will NOT be afraid to demand it anymore. The Left hasn't had "good manners" in decades. Why should I demand it from those who represent my wishes, while letting those who promote ideas that I will spend my lifetime opposing fight dirty at every turn, in an uneven fight (thanks to the MSM)?
That simply shows that the Tea Party is NOT extreme, and DOES have power and influence.
However, the last few election cycles, we have let GOPe folks tell us what we want to hear, and we bought it... and have been let down, every time. No more. Now they have to back it up, or else we can their asses. Period.
"Fool me once..." etc.
‘Cuz, ya know, before the TEA Party came along Republicans in Congress were stalwart opponents of the expansion of government!
Anyone that believes the Tea Party is destructive is obviously a RHINO or a demodummie.
If memory serves me, the Tea Party is made up of all kinds of people who are sick and tired on what has happened to this country and where it has been led. I may not be an official member of that group but I sure as hell agree with their intent which is to take AMERICA back from those who would destroy it.
Never, EVER listen to what a politician says.
Keep an eye on their voting record. That’ll tell you everything you need to know about them and is indelible...
With a bit of editing this piece could just as well have been critical about the “extreme” factions in the Democrat-Socialist Party. But as Dennis Prager has noted, one can never be “too far Left”.
I noticed that this author was using Obama for his all-along intended “purpose” - as a shield with sufficient melanin content to keep the leftist agenda from being criticized or thwarted.
Obama doesn’t have much use beyond that. That’s his primary function.
Voters like this moron are the cancer that is killing this country.
It’s a sad day when some Americans take the position that it is destructive for other Americans to lobby for constitutional government. I wonder what is in the Constitution that they think is destructive.
It must come down to what they consider destructive.
Hitler would have found the Tea Party movement extremely troublesome also.
A Palestinian, eh? That explains it!
Well we don’t have to worry about it anymore in Georgia as our RINO governor Nathan “Raw” Deal looks to be cruising to another 4 years and our senate primary has ended with a runoff between an iffy business man and a moderate conservative. It will be a miracle if we can get the moderate through the runoff.
Okay.
Name three things that the Tea Party has gotten its way on.
Are taxes lower?
Is the government spending less?
Has the debt ceiling been lowered?
Is Obamacare dead?
The Tea Party ran on all the above.
As Fresh Wind pointed out: the Tea Party didn’t even force a conservative candidate in 2012.
Go ahead - name three major victories the Tea Party has had.
REAL victories - not just establishment mad we’re not spending as fast as they want.
Just three.
There is no TEA Party. It’s a state of mind.
In some minds it’s Ron Paul. In some minds it’s Mike Huckabee.
Does it include Christian-based social issues, or is it just “Taxed Enough Already”?
Inquiring minds DO want to know.
Oh,I won’t stay home! I will vote for the dem instead of the RINO!
I have never voted for a dem in my life - but I’m done with the patronizing, compromising dirtbags that call themselves Republican...
Like Boehner (I hated that choice from the start)
And McConnell (I used to like him, until I figured out he’s NEVER gonna have a spine)
Like Reagan said of the dems - I didn’t leave the GOP, the GOP left me. And this article convinces me even more!
