Reid
expects Tea Party to fade away
Reid blamed everything that ails Washington and the nation on
Republicans. He slammed the GOP for its refusal to go along with tax
increases as part of this month's debt-ceiling deal, saying hard-core
fiscal conservatives are making it impossible to strike a long-term
deal that slows the growth of the national debt. [Review- Journal]
Tea
Party’s heyday may be coming to an end, say political experts
The reign of the Tea Party may be coming to an end in Washington,
according to academic political experts who say polls show a backlash
against the conservative movement.
Two national polls released this month by CNN and The New York Times in
conjunction with CBS News showed the Tea Party’s unfavorable rating at
an all-time high. [The HILL}

the current debt crisis," said Carroll Doherty, Assistant Director of
the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. [TPM]

Question. Who's the
leader of the Tea-Party?
Answer:
There isn't one
The Tea Party is about being spontaneously pissed at the established political
classes who've legislated a socialism that controls every muscle of
national endeavor; ruined our economy, and blocks every
avenue to success. I said pissed
off!

Here's when we'll know the
tea-party is finished. When it comes under the umbrella of
an organization called the National
Tea Party, complete with elected chairman and official party
policy that is more than "We want our
country back!" . Until that happens the tea party is
an idea that can't be ended by the wishes of pissant democrats
and establishment Republicans.

And when it becomes TOO organized it may lose focus. Lots of good ideas turn into self licking lolipops after awhile.

It is the natural tendency of man to be the boss of me. So to speak.

ReplyDeleteThe Tea Party will fade away. This will happen after the likes of Harry Reid are known to have been dead for decades and their graves stained yellow from their "admirers"

ReplyDeleteI can't imagine that the guy from Philidelphia doesn't understand the Tea Party and what it represents.
I don't put much stock in Pew's polling, but I wonder where he thinks all those Republican freshman in the House and Senate came from.
The RNC certainly had nothing to do with it - other than being the serendipitous beneficiary of the Tea Party efforts and movement.
I don't align myself with the GOP and plan to vote against Bob Corker for U.S. Senator in 2012 and against the GOP's Presidential candidate if it's Mitt Romney,__________ (empty space left in honor of TPaw), Newt (no threat here, even if all the other candidates died), Huntsman or any of the other clowns who may have an interest in the job.
I would vote for Perry, Bachman or Palin, but I can't think of anyone else I would vote for in 2012.
No more McCain, Dole, GWB (2004 edition).
But let's face it, the guy from Pew has never even voted for a GOP school board member, so his trying to get inside the mind of freedom-minded Americans is tantamount to a trip abroad for him.
It's going to be a long election cycle for him, I believe.
In politics, if you're not rubbing some people the wrong way and stepping on their toes, you're not doing it right.
