Tea Party Agenda Will Disrupt the GOP

Yes, the GOP is distancing itself, and with good reason: It's not just mainstream Republicans who are rejecting the Tea Party, says Patrik Jonsson in The Christian Science Monitor. Even "tea party favorites," including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) have balked at joining the new Senate Tea Party Caucus, which now has just four members. Clearly "the post-Tucson political winds" have shifted. Mainstream America has soured on the Tea Party's angry, "anti-Obama rhetoric," so Republicans are wise to back away.
 
The Tea Party can focus only on spending; the GOP can't: "Having sold itself in 2010 as the uncompromising champion of Tea Party-fueled fiscal austerity," says Frank Rich in The New York Times, the GOP caucus has now discovered "that most Americans prefer compromise to confrontation and favor balanced budgets in name only." The vast majority of Americans don't share Tea Partiers' obsession with deficit reduction, so if Republicans start slashing popular government programs to satisfy the Tea Party, they could quickly "turn Americans against the Republican Congress."
 
Politicians distancing themselves from people who want to hold them accountable, what a surprise. Any you both, in your superior wisdom, thinks this proves the Tea Party is a fringe group. Funny thing is, the rest of the country disagrees with you.

Republicans made a pact with the devil in aligning themselves with the Tea Party

Now, payment is due

Let's get even more direct: the mainstream, establishment Republicans caved in to the extreme Rightwing of their Party, who were funded by mega-billionaires and corporations run by sleazy, cynical Republican castoffs like Dick Armey.
