A few recent developments have revealed the tea party temperament in its most distilled, potent form.
Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin called for the impeachment of President Obama on the theory that his border policies are "the last straw that makes the battered wife say, 'no mas.' " Excavating the layers of mixed metaphor - the straw that broke the camel's back is somehow causing an abused woman to surrender in Spanish - Palin demands the ousting of an American president on the constitutional theory that "enough is enough."
Republicans who disapprove of this plan, according to Palin, lack "cojones" and true conservatives should "vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment." Opponents are identified not just by disagreement (and by a lack of male sex glands) but by hesitation. In adopting the succession practices of a banana republic, and in elevating Vice President Biden to power, those who are reflective and deliberative are natural enemies.
At the same time, failed tea party Senate candidate Chris McDaniel claims that his primary opponent, Thad Cochran, "stole" the election - a serious charge made without serious evidence - and equates overturning his 7,700-vote loss with preserving "the torch of liberty." Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has embraced McDaniel's legal challenge, blaming the "D.C. machine" for shifting the election results.....

GOP Surprised To Learn Base Doesn't Enjoy Being Shat Upon
Hahahahahhaha! The GOPe got almost ALL their hack candidates, and they still think they can blame us? Laughable.
“The tea party temperament is often accompanied by an easily reducible political theory. “The word ‘education,’ “ McDaniel has argued, “is not in the Constitution. Because the word is not in the Constitution, it’s none of their [the federal government’s] business.” Neither are the phrases “health care,” “retirement assistance,” “disaster relief,” “food safety” or “cancer research.” And there goes much of the modern state. “
Gerson is such a rube. MCDANIEL’S POINT IS THE FOUNDERS WOULD NOT APPROVE OF THE MODERN STATE!
Mark Levin has called out this jackass Gerson on a number of occasions. He’s a Karl Rove mini-me
Michael Gerson, GOP-e.
LOL! Yeah as if they really want to help get more conservatives elected.
Most of the time when I hear them lecture, try to give advise when no one asked, I just dismiss it.
If theses Leftist Authoritarians were really winning... politically speaking, then they just let the Conservatives carry on with whatever they were saying/doing.
Yeah right as if they really wanted to help out the right wing. LOL! Just know when they say it, then keep doing it. You war winning and they are trying to shut you down.
Lefty boiler-plate.
One wonders if Reggie Love is teaching DC classes in Das ObamaSplootGeschlurping?
Gerson was George W Bush’s speechwriter.
“A party that is genuinely excited about conservative anti-poverty proposals, the child tax credit and other reforms - rather than impeachment and the abolition of modern government - might even be judged worthy of the presidency.”
...Child tax credit and other reforms... Yawn.
The only people “genuinely excited” by that just passed out from having 4 glasses of wine at a DC cocktail party.
GOP consultants are ruining the GOP.
Very Good Observation Norm.
Strange how often the Liberal side is taken by many of the PDSer's.....
GOP chances of.. what?
Getting their net gain of 3-4 seats in the Senate?
Tea party could spoil GOP chances
