Tea Party will destroy GOP in 2014, as Palin destroyed McCain in 2008 (Hahaha!)
The Hill ^ | May 24, 2013 | Brent Budowsky

Posted on 05/24/2013 3:33:26 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

For the far right, dreams die hard and delusions never end. As Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who represents a congressional GOP with unpopularity of 75 percent, prepares to summon former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, with popularity above 60 percent, to testify, the overreach of House Republicans now threatens Republican control of the House. The triumph of the Tea Party within Republican politics is a gift to Democrats in 2014, as the disastrous vice presidential nomination of Sarah Palin in 2008 helped propelled Barack Obama to a two-term presidency.

In the latest poll I've seen about 2014, a generic poll by Washington Post/ABC, Democrats led Republicans by 48 percent to 40 percent — a huge margin. Of course, polls will vary. But the idea of a House GOP that is stunningly unpopular running inquisitions against President Obama, whose popularity towers above the GOP, and Clinton, whose popularity towers above the GOP even more, is a political disaster in the making.

The prime directive for the Tea Party is tax breaks for the rich and tax breaks for themselves — hardly a winning position in a nation that wants more equity and fairness for all. The Tea Party projects a politics and negativity, which is why it is so highly unpopular with voters. Palin represents a negativity and eccentricity and out-of-the-mainstream rightism, which is why she was such as disaster for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), why she left the governorship after half of one term and why she has held no public office in recent years.....

Brent Budowsky is nothing more than a propagandist for the ideology of the thieving Left. He thinks that your rights come from the State, and that the products of your effort and ability belong to anyone who claims to need them. If you disagree, he charges you with mental deficiency. Nice, huh?

This is who wee are dealing with: criminals pretending to be intellectuals, accusing honest, decent people of being insane so they can take their stuff, or otherwise get elected by promising to deliver other people's things in exchange for votes.

She’s the only reason I voted for the ticket in 2008. I don’t think there is any difference between McCain and Zero.

The Republicans need to go the way of the Whigs. If an embarrassing loss (another embarassing loss?) is what it takes, maybe I’ll vote for Joe Biden in 2016. That would certainly be embarassing, all the way around.

Maybe the GOP “as currently configured” (picture in your mind folding lawn chairs....).

"a nation that wants more equity and fairness for all."

I can only guess what this person looks like. And to speak for the entire nation?

Must have missed the words "equity" and "fairness" in the Constitution.

Does he even know what "equity" is?

Thanks for the picture, yes, pretty much what I guessed what he’d look like.

The GOP has already destroyed the GOP.

The TEA Party are the viable remnants of the now defunct Gutless Obsolete Party

Most likely Romney was more popular than McCain.

Like Paul Ryan destroyed Romney in 2012. Palin carried McLame.

I didn’t even do it. I walked up to my booth in 2012 on election day, expecting to grudgingly vote GOP like I have every single time in my life, unappetizing as the Romney-Ryan ticket was. But, as I saw that R-R name on my ballot, I could only think back to the disgraceful snubbing given Palin and the tea-party at the GOP convention. And then, the years of trashing tossed at her by the Romney people like Madden/Stevens and all their scumbag minions. Then, Romney’s facilitation of fag-marriage in MA.

No way on earth was I giving that damn ticket my vote! To hell with those liberal Rino bastards! Only wound up voting for a few local races. A watershed moment for me. I don’t regret it for a single moment. Even moreso now that I’ve seen Ryan come out for homo adoption. Damn Romney and all the loathesome creeps that pushed him!!

Palin didn’t destroy McLame. The GOP destroyed Palin and America.

Ode to a RINO...

Tell me does the Stupid Burn?
I really want to know.
So many excuses that I hear,
Just bouncing to and fro

I hear it’s quite conservative
And rainbows lead the way
In front of tanks and planes and bombs,
To make our soldiers Gay

Likewise today around the right,
Lets make a choice severe,
Abort unwanted children,
Adopt them to a queer!

And what about the guns you own?
What did supporters say?
It truly must be Reaganesque,
To take them all away!

For shame the bitter clingers,
With Bibles by the bed.
Believe instead in Steve and Bob,
Whose right we’ll make to wed.

Such was the choice the GOP,
Bequeathed to us to vote.
Our patriotic duty,
Just hold your nose and choke.

Alas I am not stupid.
I do not feel the burn.
But come election season,
I fear they will not learn.

Another leftist RINO,
Or Democrat they’ll pass
Upon the the right wing public,

Well they can kiss my ass.

This is a bunch of bulls@#t! McCain would have been trashed in a Mondale-esque landslide if Palin had not been on the ticket and brought out millions of Republcian voters who would have otherwise stayed home.

What a load of crap. If the Tea Party brings down the GOP, so be it. The real battle is between the vast Country Class and a sniveling minority of liberal elites whether they be GOP or RAT who think they can hold on to power. They can’t.
