I don’t know of any Tea Party members making this claim; rather I hear it from the Leftists and GOP establsihment types like Krauthammer, Ingraham, McConnell, and Boner.
Yup. When the MSM propaganda rags like NYT, wapo collectively have the same headlines...you know it’s a trap.
Same here. Every Tea Partier I know is pissed, and definitely not feeling like a winner.
Some on FR seem to think partial victory, since we only have 1/3 of government, we should be happy with what GOP accomplished...Too late for me to find but have seen several threads...and replies to me that I was incorrect, misinformed, or too negative, etc.
Unfortunately, I have heard it from a number of tea party folks.
Thankfully though I think they are in the vast minority.
I agree on the GOP establishment types, they are saying it as much as the Lefties are.
