The glaring evidence the Tea Party Strategy is a catastrophic FAILURE continues

[Lonestar_logic]

Both Karl Rover (stupid people with stupid goals) and John McCain (wacko birds) are no place to complain about the TPM.

Rove revved up the GOP to spark the "anger points" in the electorate (creating Mr. Frankenstein) and McCain chose Sarah Palin (Mrs. Frankenstein) as his running mate.

Glad you've given up even pretending you're a "Republican"

I am Republican, you are TPM. You are the fraud in the party, the fly in the ointment, etc adfinitum adnauseum, and you guys are going to be primaried out.

No more 'wacko birds' or 'stupid people with stupid goals'. McCain and Rove are right, although they created the beasts.

You are not a Republican.

Republicans don't bend over backwards defending Obama as you have illustrated.

Actually it's a magazine, not a clip.

"clip - a metal frame or container holding cartridges; can be inserted into an automatic gun"

Actually, clip is another word for magazine.

Clip vs. Magazine: A Lesson in Firearm Terminology

A magazine is what is used to feed the weapon itself, whereas a clip is used to feed the magazine. Clips make loading of magazines much easier and faster, and in some cases, a clip is required in order for the magazine to work (e.g. M1 Garand).

Learn something new every day...thanks, Lonestar...I stand corrected.

Little things like that used to not bother me so much but as an owner of a gun shop I feel compelled to educate people about firearms.

I admit I came into this business with a lot of ignorance about firearms and I'm thankful for those that taught and continue to teach me new things.

The glaring evidence the Tea Party Strategy is a catastrophic FAILURE continues.

Witness all the shouting and posturing over -- the PPACA/Obamacare since the 2010 election.

All the posturing with House votes, all the petty battles that preceded the roll out of each part of Obamacare, yet here we are -- Obamacare has been working for a while now, the web sites are up and running, and Obamacare is constitutional AND being funded.

Reality bites.

Question is: What else is the Tea Party going to run on that will rile up the masses enough to get the votes needed to hold onto the power they now have?

You guys are sure concerned about the TEA party, aren't you? Never a care for the incompetent slobs that inhabit your party - no. You think that by running your mouth about the TEA party that we will cower and just go away. Boy are you dumb.....

It's hysterical to watch the way the hyperventilate over the TEA Party. Just a few months ago they were claiming the TEA Party was extinct. Now they're blaming it for the shutdown, and saying that was the worst thing in the world.

I am responsible Republican who rejects your type of weird far reactionary politics.

We mainstream republicans are more interested in responsible governance than any fantasy TPM dreams.

Asking the Federal Government to not spend a trillion a year in deficits is not "weird far reactionary politics". It's simple common sense.

Fool! Nationally the Tea Party is a wet noodle. In locally gerrymandered district races and in reactionary states they have power to unseat Republicans

Despite a full court press by the main stream media to vilify the Tea Party, those people are still out there across the country...still angry at the waste and overreach of the Federal Government. Now we're watching the roll out of the train wreck that ObamaCare is...the Tea Party folks are still out there and they are still pissed off that they were so obviously lied to by Obama.

Shutting down the government and nearly crashing the world's economic markets are not examples of common sense.

They are examples of loony bird politics.

Here we are in the next month since those fiascos, and even with the shaky roll out of ACA, the TPM continues to fall in popularity and rate far below that of BHO.

 

[Oldstyle]

The government shut down because progressives like Harry Reid and Barack Obama once again refused to compromise...just like they've refused to compromise since Obama took office. Reid and Obama let the government shut down because they knew the main stream media would go along with placing the blame squarely on the shoulders of the Tea Party and the GOP.

ObamaCare WILL be revealed for the train wreck it's always been, Jake...and when it does, Democrats that supported it will pay for doing so. That's happening now and will continue to happen for years to come.

Double fool. Reactionaries are always with us. It is power they seek and usually they fail.

Now that they've had their day in the sun, it comes time to crawl back under the rocks.

Tea Party Whackos have shot their load (non porno alert: 'load' of buckshot), and are now reduced to shooting blanks.

As ObamaCare rolls out and the American people get a better idea about what a "turkey" that legislation is...the people that pointed out all along that it sucked are going to be vindicated and those that were complicit in the propaganda that sold the ACA to America are going to be running for cover. I hate to tell you, Dante...but you're in for endless amounts of shit over your support for ObamaCare. Hope you've got a thick skin because you're going to need it.

They have nothing to run on save that of naïve, failed, and childish rhetoric about ‘government’ and taxes.’

This is why the adults in the GOP need to step forward and bring sanity back to the Party. The problem is they’re too afraid to face the TPM malignancy that’s consuming the Party.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Nonsense.

The government shutdown was solely the responsibility of House republicans and their continued tactic of obstructionism and opposition to ‘everything Obama.’

And if the republican ‘plan’ for the future is more pointless, partisan obstructionism, then they’ll continue to lose votes and elections.

You know what, Clayton? If Barack Obama hadn't come into office with his "Elections have consequences...I won!" speech he might have actually gotten some Republicans to work with him. Instead of trying to build bi-partisanship however, Barry used his super majorities to do whatever he felt like until the 2010 mid-terms. After spending two years telling the Republicans to go out in the hall, sit down and shut up...the boy genius actually NEEDED them to pass legislation and lo and behold...they absolutely LOATHED him at that point. You could write political textbooks on how badly Obama has mismanaged this but then should we REALLY have expected any thing different? The guy had zero executive experience and very little political experience. The Obama Administration is strictly "amateur hour" and our country suffers because of it.
