Tea Party will destroy GOP in 2014, as Palin destroyed McCain in 2008 (Hahaha!)
The Hill ^ | May 24, 2013 | Brent Budowsky

For the far right, dreams die hard and delusions never end. As Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who represents a congressional GOP with unpopularity of 75 percent, prepares to summon former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, with popularity above 60 percent, to testify, the overreach of House Republicans now threatens Republican control of the House. The triumph of the Tea Party within Republican politics is a gift to Democrats in 2014, as the disastrous vice presidential nomination of Sarah Palin in 2008 helped propelled Barack Obama to a two-term presidency.

In the latest poll I've seen about 2014, a generic poll by Washington Post/ABC, Democrats led Republicans by 48 percent to 40 percent — a huge margin. Of course, polls will vary. But the idea of a House GOP that is stunningly unpopular running inquisitions against President Obama, whose popularity towers above the GOP, and Clinton, whose popularity towers above the GOP even more, is a political disaster in the making.

The prime directive for the Tea Party is tax breaks for the rich and tax breaks for themselves — hardly a winning position in a nation that wants more equity and fairness for all. The Tea Party projects a politics and negativity, which is why it is so highly unpopular with voters. Palin represents a negativity and eccentricity and out-of-the-mainstream rightism, which is why she was such as disaster for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), why she left the governorship after half of one term and why she has held no public office in recent years.....

Palin was the ONLY reason that McCain did as well as he did. If he could have learned to keep his mouth shut, she would have won it for him.

The Republican party NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED, and REPLACED by the TEA PARTY, the only party of true and traditional Americans.
Sadly, however, I am afraid it is too late.
America is already being flushed down the toilet.

Every bloody time I see this hate-driven, bold-faced lie, I want to take the person saying it and go Moe Howard on them.

As terrified of the Palin/Tea Party superpower as ever, the drooling class of nattering liberal nabobs continues their terrified squawking and bleating.

Almost affirming in and of itself.

The Rats won with massive voter fraud and campaign to pick up the low information voters. They now want to buy the hispanic vote with welfare. The rats machine will cheat as usual but if drug running, fast and furious, Benghazi, IRS, EPA, Byden.....can be used to make a difference there could be a landslide against the rats. Give the Tea Party a chance they will wipe out the rats.

Palin probably gained him votes.

There is NO probably about it! McCain, the man pleaser who said 'America has nothing to fear from obama'. He doesn't even know what side of the aisle his seat is in.

And it was the last time I’ll ever do it. After what the GOP did to her and seeing what they did with pushing abortion supporting/gun grabbing homosexualist Romney...never again.

I don’t care what happens if that is our future. Because that AIN’T America or anything I’ll ever be a part of again.

For the record six weeks before the election, McCain-Palin had a five point lead. Then the economic collapse. A week later they were behind Obama-Biden by five points a deficit they never made up. The analysis: if not for the econ collapse, McCain-Palin would have made a much closer race. The economic disaster was one of the biggest pre-election gifts ever given any prez candidate. If the Republicans were so unpopular, the Dems have to ask themselves why they didn’t have a huge lead right after their convention? How did the supposedly tainted Pubbie ticket manage to have a lead? That’s not to say I believe McCain-Palin would have won. But the race would have been a lot closer.
