The Tea Party is Dying ? What a laugh.

[Listening]

And yet another example of how the Tea Party is putting it's foot in the backs of many so called mainstreamers and moving them right. Nobody wants to be primaried and these dinks move right to appease the far right.

FakeFarkey can blather all he wants. The Tea Party is still alive and kicking ass.

So even if Republicans facing primary challengers from the right are not in real danger, their rivals will keep bringing the heat, scrambling the potential for deals by a Congress already making history for doing so little.

“The tea party has racked up important victories electorally but also ideologically, and that pressure on establishment Republicans will continue,” said James Hartman, a Louisiana-based political consultant advising tea party-backed congressional candidate Rob Maness. “The compromises being blocked are absolutely favorable in terms of public policy. No, we don’t want tax increases. No, we don’t want Obamacare.”

The battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party expanded in the past week to include challenges against Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran and Texas Sen. John Cornyn, bringing the total of GOP senators facing primary opponents to seven. All of the incumbents are favored to beat their opponents. But that doesn’t mean they’re free to cut any deals across the aisle; doing so would be risky in a highly polarized political climate that sees compromise as betrayal.

“Members of Congress are risk averse, and if they can avoid getting attention from the bullies, they will,” said Republican consultant John Feehery, a former Capitol Hill staffer.

The Tea Party is Dying ? What a laugh.


The desperate liberals keep saying that before every election, every straw poll, etc.

And then they spend most of their time between those events, whining about how much the TEA party is doing that they don't like.

You'll notice that the left hasn't provided any of their "facts" to show this is not the case.

Sorry, but Tea Party candidates barely registered a blip in the primaries. Only one or two made it this time.

A significant demographic power drain since 2010. The Establishment GOP is back on top and ruling the roost. This is an inescapable fact.

And I don't know if you noticed, but ObamaCare is still here, and is here to stay. So I don't know how you rule that a Tea Party victory.

If all people and parties agree to follow standard principles in Constitutional laws and ethics, we can govern ourselves and our own districts, parties and states "directly by the laws" we all agree on. And we won't NEED to depend on any Party leaders to govern or mandate for us. We can organize and manage our own resources and policies directly.
We can resolve our own conflicts, and reform our own systems to represent constituents, and respect each other's values and beliefs equally -- BY RESPECTING CENTRAL LAWS CALLING FOR EQUALITY.

This would be a good sign if we don't NEED the Tea Party to fight corrupt officials for us, messing govt up for everyone else to fix.

Why not enforce and respect laws directly? Empower all people to participate in society?
Don't all Parties want to implement their own Platforms? Why not empower all people to do so directly for themselves, and quit fighting over it?

It is unfortunate that a good poster like yourself can't recognize the article or the argument for what it is really saying.

The Tea Party is very much alive on all levels. The recent blast in Kansas in 2012 was just an example:

Conservative Republicans Make Gains in Kansas

Conservative Republicans Make Gains in Kansas - WSJ

Lest you think Kansas is that "Red", please recall we had the dishonor of providing that moron Kathleen Sebelius after she served as our moron in chief (governor) for eight years.

But more to the point....as the article points out....you have people like Graham moving more to the right to keep from being primarried. I'd call that progress.

Obamacare is here....just what does that mean ? It is affecting very few people for the good right now...but soon the bad will kick in...then we'll see.

I didn't say the Tea Party was always smart....I just said they were not dying.

And don't you think that the effort to groom better "mainstreamers" by folks like Rove isn't a victory ?

 

[longknife]

You have no idea just what the original Tea Party Movement will create politically in the future.

Once the atrocity of the ACA takes effect, you will see a political revolution like nothing before in this nation. Not just thousands, but millions will demonstrate when they find that Democrat policies make them struggle to put food on their tables and keep roofs over their heads.

That is exactly why I don't fear for the future of this country. The people will always rise up against tyranny.

Silly girl, the great majority of TP candidates have been defeated. Graham will say what is necessary and next January will go back to be Lindsay all the time.

Your movement after this election year no longer matters.

I'm stating the obvious. You provided figures from 2012. Well, track from 2010 to 2012 to 2014, and it becomes blazingly obvious the Tea Party is falling off a cliff.

The idea the Tea Party is forcing guys like Graham to the right is taking credit where credit is not due. It has always been a fact of life that during primaries candidates move toward the poles, and then back to the middle for the general election.

The Tea Party is dying. Sorry.

Whether or not that is a "victory" depends on where you are standing.

From where I am standing, it is the difference between one brand of retards versus another brand of retards.

And in the general election, it is one brand of evil versus another brand of evil.


I used to love the GOP. I've never liked the Democrats. But the GOP used to actually stand for something and had real principles. Now they just pay lip service to whatever they think the rubes want to hear, all in the name of acquiring earthly powers. They have no principles any more. None.

So take from that what you will. I see no victory here. Just rats fighting over who gets to stand at the top of a pile of dung.

You, on the other hand, quit mattering a long time ago.

What did I say is not true: the TPM has been faltering since the Cruz fiasco last year and the debt and budget victories for the Dems. The TeaPs are getting pounded in the elections.

America is afraid of you guys because you are not mainstream

 

[JakeStarkey]

2010 is no longer the indicator. 2012 to 2014 is the indicator, and that the TeaPs are getting crucified by the mainstream does not mean the mainstream is Marxist.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The Democrat Party was always evil and ruled by Communists, it took 50 years to get it where it is today.

Same way the Tea Party will need to take time and effort to bring the Republican Party back to upholding the Constitution

 

[CrusaderFrank]

2010 is no longer the indicator. 2012 to 2014 is the indicator, and that the TeaPs are getting crucified by the mainstream does not mean the mainstream is Marxist.

^ that's Jake's prayer. He's a reactionary
