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.....

Me thinks this is wishful thinking by a left wing loon spouting an ABC poll. Really!!
BS. As if those who trashed RINO's were not also trashing Dems. Laughable.
And why "instead"? What was wrong with trashing BOTH, since both were in the wrong, and both deserve to be removed from office?
I suspect the original Freeper who posted what I quoted meant that we would make more headway if we trashed the Dems. I am in favor of holding the Rinos feet to the fire, but the unenlightened voters NEED to hear about their candidates have done to harm this country AND the Dem. voters.
Romney was NOT my favorite candidate. However, I would have walked through glass or crawled through glass to vote for Romney/Ryan over the American hating, Military hating, Marxist!
Like Rush said, millions of Conservatives stayed home or didn’t vote for Romney/Ryan because they just were not “pure enough”. Must be they preferred Obama!
Stuff it along with your gradeschool debate point. You are defending the biggest mistake the GOP ever made. You are defending a man good with abortion, homosexuality and gun grabbing.
We need less like you on the political right. Most Romney voters saw how their vote drove the GOP left. They no longer, after 6 months, defend their error.
Have the RATS refined the programming code to win in the mid-terms, too? Will they by next Nov.? That’s the only determiner.
No, the Tea Parties will save the GOP.
The conservative voters will have a big part in the final downfall. The problem is that there will be nothing to fill the void and today’s climate will not make it easy to try to get another conservative Party off the ground - look at all the left-wing agencies that are already actively involved in illegal muting of conservatives. If the GOP goes belly up, the only recourse to avoid tyrannic slavery will be for the People to rise up and have a “who will run out of people and ammo first” contest.

The sad part is that some FReepers agree with the author.
The writer is accomplishing his mission simply by having people take him seriously. Look at who he is. Post his picture and tell him to buttoutsky. This is not a discussion worth having.
So, Brent Budowsky walks into a bar. Bartender says “Why the long face”?
Where’s the “Not this sh*t again” guy when you need him?
Really? I'm thinking you must have posted before your morning coffee, so kindly name a few, or perhaps you could plead the fifth..........

LOL!Yes, his face is even LONGER than John Kerry’s. And that’s saying something.
I think conservatives have to realize that what Mr. Buttowsky is doing is echoing the DNC talking point; TEA Party people are crazy racists who will destroy the Republican Party. That is exactly what was said in 2010, and the Republicans took the House of Representatives and nearly took the Senate.
Then the TEA Party took its ball and went home when Romney won the Republican nomination in 2012. Big Mistake! Romney would have made a MUCH better president than the current occupant.
I think it’s time for the TEA party people to exercise their political muscle. That means getting behind good candidates and then holding their feet to the fire when those candidates win. That’s the way politics works.
