I guess the brakes aren’t going our way.
This article would be more credible of the GOP-e wasn’t spending more money against Tea Party candidates than against Democrats.
Breaks?????
Boehner, McConnell, Graham and McCain’s collective gloating and derision of the Tea Party ooga booga will come back to bite them in the a$$ if they don’t shut up and take their wins humbly.
Those Mexicans you think will vote for you if you just let those 12-50 Million illegals have citizenship will NOT be there to vote for you. And many of those conservative Tea Party sentiment voters you ridicule won’t be there either.
The “tea party” became everything and was doomed without formal structure and principles to eventually become nothing. Anybody could hang out a “tea party” sign, and they did.
McConnell lost 40% of the vote in a republican primary as the Minority Leader of the US Senate in a state he’s been an elected official for over 35 years.
That’s pathetic.
Yes. Tap the breaks. Breaks need to be tapped.
Good points in the article.
I am in accord.
Tea is seeping back in - if slowly from appearances.
C’mon, dave, gimme a brake.
One brake, Coming Uuuuup!
The author probably meant brakes and used a voice program and because there is no spelling error he didn’t notice the mistake
Braking News !
That’s why news orgs should hire English majors.
exactly right
I agree with this. Nobody (well maybe McCain) is running in a Republican primary as the bipartisan compromise douche we are all longing for. Those days are over.
Some bipartisan compromise douches still seep through, but that because not enough Republicans study the candidates and see who is actually going to fight the fight.
The Tea Party has shifted the debate within the Republican Party to the right, but it moves at a glacial pace. We need to keep the pressure on the Republicans and keep shoving.
Count on it.
But, but, but...I have been told repeatedly (and rudely) here on this forum that the TEA Party did not need leadership or an organization, and that its lack of structure was its strength.
Guess the chest beaters were wrong.
All we need to do is look at how much chaos sown by just a handful of tea partiers in DC.
We don’t have to win every race or even most of them as long as we keep winning a few with the right people who can force change in Washington.
The NC GOP has for the fist time ever, dating back to the Civil War, taken from the Rebels (DNC) the State House, Senate and Governorship - and with that power has reshaped North Carolina fiscally and politically. They have Kate Hagan on the Run - and for the first time ever in Fayetteville we have Republican Judge. Times are changing in the Deep South, but should the Tea Party sit back and pat itself on the back. The primary season was one in which the establishment GOP beat it challengers within the conservative sphere. TEA Party is not dead but might as well be in Cumberland County because from what I saw attending meetings was a group of Liberals Fiscally Minded - this is not GOP nor is it conservative. If the TEA Party is failing it is precisely because of its internal politics - if not for their concern about Budgets, I would have guessed them all to be Social Leftists; therein lies the problem - they are not conservative at the end of the Campaign season. Our local TEA Party would do better campaigning as Democrats because that is their Social Constituency.
