No matter who created the Tea Party or for what purpose, those who vowed to put governing aside for a time in order to devote their full attention to defeating Obama in the next election empowered those people in the hopes that they could make the outrageous and offensive accusations to humiliate Obama without any of the mud slinging back onto them.
Now that little monster they created is biting them in the butt.
I don't feel sorry for them a bit. But I do want a GOP that is a viable alternative. We NEED a viable second (and even third) party. We do not need to just hand over the entire government to one party.
I was honestly planning to vote for a moderate republican candidate this year, but wow. I really couldn't in good conscience vote for a party who basically tramples the moderates of their own party.
Yes. I voted for McCain last time around. Frankly, I never did figure out what Romney stood for since half the time his staff had to come back and explain that what he said was not what he meant. The Republican party needs to come back to a rational position. Perhaps this will jolt them back to reality, though with all of the idiotic excuses I am hearing now I am not all that hopeful.
I would have voted for McCain if he had still been the same man he was in 2000. But he spent 8 years pandering to the far right to the point I just couldn't pull the lever on him.
I'm with you in the hopes that the wake-up call gets answered. And I think it will be. The rational voices of the G.O.P. are starting to speak up. I don't think the far right will go down without a fight, but I think they are going down.
