The Tea Party's Losing Ground And Losing it FAST!!

[Wacky Quacky]

It seems that the balloon of the Tea Party is SWIFTLY deflating.

More and more the good citizens of this great nation are coming to their senses and snapping out of the Tea Party stupor they found themselves in

Arizona Tea Party Groups Cancel Birther Bash After It Fails To Sell Tickets

They realize it's nothing but hard RW astroturf pushed by the likes of the seedy Dick Army and his legion of RW mooks, and the deviously sinister Koch brothers, with their toe-sucking entourage like Scott Walker and Dick Morris.

And it couldn't come soon enough.

I don't blame people for the frustration that fueled a lot of the Tea Party.

But I do believe a lot of folks are realizing that the Tea Party is more a part of the problem rather than a part of the solution.

At it's inception it was probably borne out of sincerity. But when the GOP started using the movement as it's stooge, it went downhill faster than Lindsay Vonn.

Now it's just a punchline.

I agree, it started off sincerely, but once Glenn Beck and the rest of the far RW radicals like Dick Army got a hold of it , it became a RW thing, it was just another attempt to bash Obama instead of actually achieving the goals the original folks intended to achieve.

Remember when they were bashing the Occupy folks? When in reality they should have been joining them.

They just never seem to learn.

Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and Michelle Bachmann. They took a well intentioned movement, and turned it into a group of rank and file republicans who simply don't like to call themselves republicans.

And forget the Occupt movement. That was a disorganized, violence infested mess that never had any real direction.

Gawd, the birther thing. It was so important that we knew beyond a shadow of a doubt where any given President is born, it was so important to maintain the integrity of the office and the presidency and the Constitution -- but only up until Nov 2012, then I guess it wasn't all that big a deal.

Too funny.

I do feel sorry for those who intended the organization to be a grass-roots, fiscal responsibility advocate.

When Army money started coming in, they had to shift focus to Ayers, birth certificates, and all the accusations that were so stupid. The GOP wanted this noise out there, but they didn't want the backlash of being connected to it - so they let the Tea Party carry their piss bucket for them.

Now, it appears that the GOP is ready to flush.

The question is ... is the Tea Party too big a turd to go down without a lot of fighting?

Yep, just like after Bush, they were embarased to be CALLED "Republicans" although they were actually die-hard Republicans.

Yep, nailed it.

An interesting concept for two or three weeks (literally), then the crazies co-opted it for their own personal gain and led it right into the land of the silly.

oh well, it wasn't much of a serious thread to begin with

But the GOP got to sponsor all that hate. And give themselves the out of saying, "hey .... that's the Tea Party ... not US!"

Thank God!

Wait... why are you thanking an entity that according to you doesn't exist?

I know these little smiley things make little babies in cribs giggle... and you obviously have that similar mentality! What a waste of 0s and 1s!

Michele Bachmann and Steve King re-elected... and yes West lost by 1% most due to voter fraud.

Which begs the question, how could anyone even remotely associated with the Tea Party ever vote republican again? The republican party took the Tea Party and co-opted it, assimilated it, destroyed it, and is now kicking it to the curb.

Congratulations, you just highlighted why the Tea Party never had any real footing in the first place.

Because they always were Republicans to begin with. Like CowboyArmy stated, where else are they going to go?

But remember when they were, including the USMB RWers, PRETENDING that it was more than just RW Republicans? Remember how they were PRETENDING that there were many Independents and even Democrats amongst them?

They knew it was a lie then, and they know it's a lie now.

That's one thing you'll also notice is the teabaggers were never addressed once during the RNC convention.
It proves again that everyone not on the hard right were correct that the baggers were nothing but a bunch of idiots played for fools by the Koch's, Beck, and Palin.

Remember when Shrub used to have cordoned off "Protest Areas" at his rallies and speeches for the LEGIONS of citizens that opposed his DISMAL polices, that just happened to be as far away from the event as humanly possible?

Well I think the Tea Party got "shrubbed" at the RNC 2012.

Shrub kinda got 'Shrubbed', also

now everyone in the GOP is supposed to be more conservative than the next guy or woman.

they just get crazier and crazier

In 2010 Bachmann won by 12.7 points.
In 2012 it was 1.2

I'd say that is losing ground
