Nope. Do they think if they say it enough it will be true.

The Tea Party isn’t even going at half speed yet.

The liberals are crying, but wait until the elections are right around the corner. They will get a surprise.

.

It seems the Establishment Media has fallen into the fatal trap of believing their own propaganda

To start with, neither of the polls cited sampled likely voters. They merely polled adults. Polls of this nature almost always follow what ever the headline of the day. People polled in this fashion almost always respond with whatever the last news they heard. It not a serious polling methodology but the Media pollsters loves to use this amateur polling technique because the results will usually reflect what ever is their story line du jour.

In addition both polls cited have a well documented history of vastly over sampling Democrats which serious skew their results to the Left.

Finally, what they are very careful to cover up in this “reporting: is these “news” stories is everyone in politics numbers went significantly down during the Debt debacle.

So if these bad number suggest the “tea party is finished” then the equally bad numbers for the Establishment of BOTH parties indicates they are finished as well. That is much much worse news for the politicians since they have to actually persuade people to vote for them while the Tea Party can always just change it’s name to undo the “brand damage” they supposedly have suffered.

So, as usual, it an attempt by the Junk Media to make what they wish to be true, true by manufacturing polling data to fit their preconceived opinions.

A lot of Rhinos are surging to the right because of the tea party

Right, like McCain did in the last election. Talking is not doing. Even many "Tea Party" candidates who were elected last year, proved a disappointment when it came to actually voting in the House.

Talk is cheap. RINOs don't change so easily. I believe we are being deceived, just like always, by the weak, effete, Republican elite. No one is "surging to the right". Two of the top three candidates are not conservatives. So far, the Tea Party has accomplished nothing. Pathetic 2011 "budget", nothing. Embarrassing debt limit bill, nothing. Illegal war in Libya, nothing. I hope this doesn't hold and that actual conservative action will eventually happen, but I'm not holding my breath.

YES. The Tea Party’s power has most definitely piqued the progressives in this administration, in Congress and the MSM. They are doing everything in their power to make it appear like a “fringe” element that need not be taken seriously.

Why hasn’t TIME folded yet?

It’s Marxist rag with readership that falls every year.

Die, TIME, die.
