Can we all admit the Tea Party was a massive failure?

[CrusaderFrank]

Tea Party took the House in 2010.

Romney shunned the Tea Party AND all Conservatives. We still tried to back him. But think about it. He went on not one conservative talk show.

Then he ended up dissing all the Paulites.

See ya. I know why he lost.

Another Moderate Republican, another loss to Obama and Dems.

Like McCain, Romney was advised that Tea Party Conservatism is irrelevant, and this is the result

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Moderate in 08 and 12 = Loss

Conservatives in 2010 = Victory

See a pattern?

I thought the Tea Party had potential the first couple of weeks there, before the crazies took over.

It may still have some viability going forward, in more localized elections, where small groups of energized activists can have influence.

.

But.....you can somehow justify the crazies on the left??? Because I can assure you that most people do not approve of the "progressive" policies that the liberals hold near and dear.

Romney's single best month of the campaign, October, occurred after he belatedly tacked to the center and distanced himself from the lunatics in his base.

Had he stuck to them right up to the end he would've lost by a lot more than just 4 points.

The Tea party was doomed once the social conservatives annexed it.

You don't have a clue do you? This is the sad part about you. We hold the House.

The People's House.

We won. You lost.

Spoken like a true liberal.

Why bother trying to represent the rest of us?

I say we need a new one. Like we had to do up here. Conservatives win.

Trust me.

Uh huh, sure he did.

Thank for the unsolicited advise, keep talking to Jake Starkey, because you guys clearly have all the answers.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Romney should have been even more Moderate, like Juan McCain!

 

[Greenbeard]

That wasn't advice. If you want advice, I'd recommend running Michelle Bachmann next time.

The ‘crazies on the left’ haven’t been a factor in a National election in 20 years, when democrats successfully put the liberals in the backseat and kept them there.

That’s one of a number of reasons why democrats have won four of the last six presidential elections.

And 2012 clearly indicates democrats have put together a winning message.

The crazies on the left ran the election this year......Reid, Pelosi, Jarrett, obama, Axlerod, and all the rest of them (yourself included) are far left of center. obama's re-election was forged via voter fraud and buying votes from blacks/illegal immigrants/generational welfare voters.......the dems have no winning message on anything. Go look at the map as a whole from this past election and you will see a vast amount of red, but very little blue.........most people did not want obama back in office. The only reason he "succeeded" was because of cheating and buying.

I voted Republican most of my adult life, this is the first year I voted for a Democrat.

And Maps are deceiving, because painting a big area red where few people live doesn't mean that much. People vote, not square milage.

Wait till I load her up.

Most of you morons don't have a clue at what you are doing. Now you won because you keep giving *cough* your base more money.

We know the game. Just needed it played out in front of our eyes.

I was perfectly willing to give the GOP one last shot...

Until you nominated the Mormon.

How'd that work out for you guys?

Yea, sure you have. All of a sudden you thought it was in your best interest to vote democrat after "years" of voting republican.....sounds odd, to say the least. I'm Independent, neither dem nor repub.....but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude that the dems have been and are currently doing a lot of things to ruin this country, so voting dem this past election certainly doesn't make a lot of sense unless you're all for defiling the Constitution. As far as square mileage is concerned..........in those areas, there wasn't voter fraud taking place. By comparison, in the big cities there was a lot of voter fraud......so which number is accurate? The place where voter fraud wasn't an issue or a place where massive voter fraud did take place? Seems to me the Red wins that one. Not that it matters now, but if the conservatives don't do something to fight back next election, this country will be in the early stages of where Greece is today......seemingly "prosperous, generous" nanny state until the country can't sustain that kind of cradle-to-grave care anymore and then there will be anarchy in the streets (where Greece is now). European socialist cultures do not fix anything, nor do they sustain any kind of long-lasting progress. If people really wanted this country to be run competently, none of us would ever vote for another republican or democrat again......both parties are so corrupt that it's not possible to fix it anymore. We need to start over...a clean slate, and take money out of elections entirely. Otherwise good candidates stand no chance because they lack the ability to raise enough capital to run an effective campaign.

Get back to me when you fuck up over Harry. You know THAT MORMON.

I'm having too much fun listening to Zepplin. But you get back to e when you care about Harry.

Now normal Republicans are worried that tea party nuts Steve King in Iowa and Michelle Bachmann might run for Senate and cost the GOP a couple more seats.

 

[WillowTree]

Obama got re-elected, the country has largely tuned out the fanatical elements of the right wing and this astroturf fake political arm of the Republican party has been useless and is now a punchline. I think it's safe to say the Tea Party was a massive failure and alienated the majority of Americans from the Right Wing.

If you mean they lost the Taxed Enough Already arguement you're totally right, you're fixin to get hit with some bitchin taxes. I hope you enjoy beating down the TEA party.
