Maybe you should have read the actual poll.
The TP is losing steam. They are losing their "outsider" brand.
It was destined to happen and the goofy cries of "Washington was more fundamentally broken then I could have ever imagined!" just sound idiotic.
The liberal MSM has a role in what is happening....I mean they talk about all those violent terrorist racists and all. There are enough dumb people who actually believe that, G.
Frankly, I think that's a cop out.
The TP came to town as the outsiders. That gig is only going to last so long. Eventually you are seen as the establishment. It's just the nature of the best. I think this
completely unnecessary debt ceiling crisis has hastened that. I don't think the TP came out looking good in the whole deal. In fact, I think they looked reckless and irresponsible. S&P indicated that failing to raise the debt ceiling would have been a disaster and caused us to be downgraded even more so then we were.
Blaming the MSM is an old dog that cons use. I think it causes you to miss the big picture. The American people are smart enough to realize that being obstinate at this point in time isn't the answer. The TP comes across as obstinate.
Furthermore, in fairness, you have Boehner (not the TP admittedly) gloating about getting 98% of what he wanted in this compromise and the DEMS got shafted and folded up like a cheap tent from Sears. Then the damn thing exploded anyways.
Kind of hard for Boehner to pass the buck on the matter after that.
I don't think it's the MSM. I think the American people just saw through the whole ordeal, to include the smoke and mirrors.
