Voters are seeing the Tea Party for what it is: destructive

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. ... We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

'nuf said.

[Dead Corpse]

Yep.

We win battles, we lose battles, but the war isn’t lost despite what the GOPe and the Socialist Left want us to believe.

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

We need to respell this pos ‘free lancer’s’ first name,..Francis...the talking Mule. Except she is brainlessly ignorant of all that goes on in politics...as I said, a leftist pos!

[staytrue]

“Wasn’t it your GOPe insiders saying they wanted to “crush” the Tea Party “

GOPe is out to remove democrats incumbents, win open seats and reelect Gop incumbents.

From what I can tell, there is a large teaparty faction that wants to defeat gop incumbents, does not care about open seats and wants democrats to defeat gop incumbents.

I am with gope, which side are you on.

[Dead Corpse]

Well, it sounds nice as a sound bite, but your opening statement has little in the way of reality to back it up...

The owner of this forum has let his distaste for the GOPe be known. I guess you could always logout and go elsewhere.

Human nature and history is a fascinating study. In that history we find that most men prefer slavery than the risk of liberty.

Our Founders noted that truth in the Declaration - that mankind is apt to suffer evil while evil is sufferable, than right themselves and throw off the chains to which they have become accustomed.

If this people will not do what is necessary now to secure their future at the ballot box, how can we rest in faith that the cartridge box will prevent what masses are willing to settle for? The majority have grown accustomed to their chains.

I have a discernment that the willingness to use a handgun against an army, will happen only when enough are behind wire and gates that they realize they have nothing left to lose, then all they may have left is to burn in the camps and lament what could have been.

[INVAR]

I am with gope, which side are you on.

I think that admission says everything Conservatives need to know about you.

You're with the Ruling Class Statists and the MarxoFascists they help covertly with our tax money while pretending to be on 'our side'.

You stand with those who declared war on Conservatives.

So we're not on your side. We're on the side of Conservative principles, liberty and the Constitution. You self-admittedly are not.

[Vendome]

Oh noes!

[Intolerant in NJ]

The voters are seeing the Tea Party for what is: redundant - now that the Tea Party has most of those in “the establishment” talking about the same things as they do - lower taxes, smaller government, less regulation, and on and on.....

[Kit cat]

The TEA PARTY is what the MSM has made them out to be!!!! The TEA PARTY is nothing more than AMERICAN CITIZENS that are demanding
SMALLER government, plain and simple the MSM in this country are nothing more than a bunch of commies with the power of the press
unfortunately!!!!

[VRWC For Truth]

Take your brain dead tantrum over to France’s house. You both deserve each other. You are the problem and offer no solution. Idiot.

[fortheDeclaration]

Yes, reelecting the same guys who put us in this mess isn’t destructive!

[sten]

small govt, fiscal responsibility, and lower taxes are ‘extreme’?!

these people are on freakin crack

[GeronL]

Not going into massive, generational debt is “extremist”?

[GilesB]

You haven’t been paying attention - the GOPe wants to JOIN the democrats, the Teaparty are the ones that want to defeat them.

[GilesB]

WHAT checks and balances? If they were truly providing checks and balances, I’d vote GOP, but they’re not - so I won’t.

The only way we can clean house is for the GOP to fail completely. Better they fail, then keep pretending to be conservative while jumping in bed with the dems at every opportunity.

What in the world did Boehner and Mitch “check and balance” the last 5 years???

[Yosemitest]

Don't stay at home.
Vote AGAINST the RINO, and AGAINST the "Establishment Republican".
Vote for the candidate who can most likely defeat the RINO or "Establishment Republican", because we can repace the libera the next time around.
But the RINO or "Establishment Republican" has GOT TO GO NOW !
They're a greater danger than the Democrat.

But this lady caller said she voted for McConnell not because she liked him but because Bevins was caught on tape at a pro cock-fighting rally telling them he thought it was illegal to ban cock-fighting.

It is illegal to ban cock-fighting at the federal level, which is what Mitch voted for.

Of course, it's perfectly legal for the State of Kentucky to ban cock-fighting, which it has, and, to my knowledge, it's a law Matt Bevin supports.

This contemptible lady moron is a text-book example of the low-information voter!

That said, if you want to primary a Minority Leader, it's best not to speak at cock-fighting rallies! LOL!

[cynwoody]

...the only thing the Tea Party has done is give Obama everything he wants.

Moron. Got a link for that?

[SoFloFreeper]

Lighten up, Frances.

B'sides...you libs have to get on the same page. Your hero, Debbie Blabbermouth Schmuck, says the Tea Party has "swallowed" the establishment...now YOU say the Tea Party is destroyed....heh heh heh....
