Daily Kos: Popularity of Tea Party hits record low of 30%, over half have a negative opinion in poll
And so goes the GOP
unless
they smarten up quickly and move back from the ledge on the right. But I am sure some will argue that they need condidates that are more conservative and closer to the edge.
Gotta love you lefties. You spend 4 years demonizing a group, then act like that has no relation to said groups declining popularity.
The only Game the left knows is demonization. As we speak we have a president who appears to care much more about Destroying the GOP, than doing what is best for this country.
Now, that said, If you want to know what is really killing the Tea Party. It's the fact that the Social Cons took it over. The Party was suppose to focus on Spending, and Limited Government. Instead it has become nothing more than the Religious Rights *****, and that totally turned me off.
While I'm always happy to see the religious right take a beating, the fact is, the TEA Party itself is the problem.
When Grandma Millie sees them looking covetously at her Social Security Check to pay for another tax break for rich people, she votes her own interest.
Look, Romney talked as little about the Social Con agenda as a GOP candidate has in my lifetime. Partially because he doesn't really believe in that crap himself, partially because the minute he started parroting the Funditard line, someone might ask, "Hey, aren't you a Mormon? Don't they think you are a heretic."
Did the downballot social con loons drag him down? A bit. But most of Romney's failure was Romney. Romney carried MO and IN, even as Akin and Murdouck lost them.
.. liberal comedy..
