why- you think if they hadn’t made those statements people in starbucks wouldn’t have voted for obama and would have voted for Romney??
i’m not defending them and that’s the problem with some of the Tea Party candidates; its great to get the RINO’s out but when you replace garbage with garbage (odonnell, angle, akin) this is the end result....
not that I’m making any excuses for the fat man traitor, but I wonder if there was some kind of phone call from Obama, stating, “you want assistance? then we are going to due some photo ops , and you are going to slober all over me, stating what a fantastic job I’m doing, then we talk about dollars for your Sandy problems.”
after all, Obama was down 5 or 6 points at that point.. He was toast. And the hurricane turned it around for him.
Yes, i think many women in the starbucks would never vote for us. But i am certain that a small percentage were swayed when these two made GOP look too stupid to vote for.
Regular people simply have limits.
And last i checked TEA meant “taxed enough already”. TEA formed around resistance to TARP and Obamacare. TEA was very broad based. Until guys like Akin try to glom onto TEA and make it a religious movement, it was an effective way to attack the economic destruction of America.
