""How Republicans Lost the Farm"""
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/01/how-republicans-lost-the-farm/283349/
Ya' think?
""The Tea Party has pulled the right away from the interests of rural Americans—some of the GOP's most loyal constituents.
................
"The failure of the farmers' agenda is a familiar tale of Washington gridlock, with familiar players: the small group of conservative obstructionists who seemingly control the House, and the policy consequences of a Republican Party at war with itself.
But in this case, the people Republicans have antagonized are among their most loyal constituents. Rural America is the party's base. Mitt Romney overwhelmingly won its support in 2012, taking 61 percent of rural voters, according to exit polls. (Romney won 58 percent of small-town voters, 50 percent of suburban voters, and just 36 percent of residents of cities with more than 50,000 occupants.)
Now the GOP, hamstrung by its right wing's anti-government zeal, risks breaking faith with its rural stronghold.""
There's no group better at cutting off their collective nose to spite their stupid fucking face than the Tea Party and GOP.
