If you remember, the Tea Party was doing “something”. The Tea Party left the tracks by allowing themselves to be swallowed into the GOP.

The power of the Tea Party was that they could keep the pressure on all politicians of any party. Backing unproven or risky candidates was a mistake. They all pretended to be Tea Party until they set foot in DC.

If they had stayed away from candidates, they would still be feared by the GOP as well as the democraps.

But I agree with you, The fix is in and it was promised to Romney in 2008 that 2012 would be his if he backed off and supported McLame. McCain was promised the nomination in 2008, it was his turn.

Yep. They got the taste of power and privilege, and forgot about the taxpayers they went there to protect.
