Brookings: Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee will kill GOP

In a broad slap at the the uncompromising stands of conservative Sens. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Mike Lee, the liberal Brookings Institution's top political scholar charged this week that the Tea Party trio are leading the Republican Party to disaster and minority status.

Thomas Mann said that their stubborn style of politics that's been rapped even by some mainstream Republicans, notably the self-styled "maverick" Sen. John McCain, will lead to a voter revolt that will elect more Democrats to the House and Senate, the presidency, and eventually have the remaining GOP members begging to do business with Democrats.

[T]he solution to fixing Washington has only two routes: "Either a dominant one-party, Democratic system to get something done," he said, or a "situation where the Republican Party returns to its sanity and to a position of problem solving."

Good!

Hopefully it will be painful and memorable.

“Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee will kill GOP”

Then we’ll call it the GNP. Out with the old and in with the new.

Hey Mann! May you be correct. You, like all liberal/marxist/democrat/socialist/progressives (sorry for the redundancy), believe in Darwin, right? Be thankful, the Whigs became extinct do to natural selection too.

Be careful Thomas, be very careful, you might get what you wish for...

He’s decribing the killing of the GOP as a bad thing?

We are almost a one-party system now. Could we get the RINO’s to go to the Democrat party and fight for a position in it?

It would be nice to have a conservative alternative even if we can’t win every election.

Right now voters get to choose between socialism and socialism light.

Faster, please.

[RightWingConspirator]

You are so right about that. The reason that Obummer, Pelosi and the so-called MSM slander, malign and tell bald-faced lies about the Tea Party is because they fear that it is becoming a strong, nationwide movement that jeopardizes their hold on government.

* “Either a dominant one-party, Democratic system to get something done,” he said, or a “situation where the Republican Party returns to its sanity and to a position of problem solving.” *

Ah yes....a one party system. That’d be almost as good as the single payer notion for Obamacare!

Why not make things easier for the corrupt Dems in govt?
They keep begging the RINO’s to convince all Republicans that they should be the Democrat Party Mark II.

Tweak:

‘Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee will kill GOPe’

We can only hope.

[Candor7]

The braying Dems will pick out our most powerful conservatives and pillary them without mercy in the press.

Yeah, we are going to take them seriously? Buahahahahahaha!

Now the lefty press has started with the Congressional conservative leadership, just as was done with Sarah Palin.

We MUST fight back by laughing at them in public, and single out idjits like Chuck the Schmuck Shumer, Holder and Obama and point at their REAL faux pas , and scandals, which BTW Cruz, Paul and Lee have none of.Sarah Palin does a good job at doing just that.

The braying donkies at Brookings can just take a short walk off a long pier. Whether they like it or not, Tea Party conservatism is HERE to stay. The Libtards can just GTH.

Me thinks thou doth protest too much.

If the folks at Brookings really believed what they wrote, they would sit back and let true conservatives undermine the GOP.

They give voice to their lie, by their very protest.

They are scared to death that the CONSERVATIVE message resonates with truth and logic.

[chris37]

Keen observation.

I think the only thing Rubio has proven himself to be a threat to is America.

He really does not have anything anyone said he had.

[WMarshal]

If common sense, following the Constitution, and looking out for Americans first will kill the GOP the I say let it die! Time for a new Revolutionary party.

[PATRIOT1876]

Maybe it’s time for a third party?

[circlecity]

"the liberal Brookings Institution's top political scholar charged this week that the Tea Party trio are leading the Republican Party to disaster and minority status."

The GOP has already reached disaster and minority status. These guy can only improve things.

[Servant of the Cross]

For the Brookings Institute, the only good Republican is a Lincoln Chaffee Republican.

Exactly. Just like Arlen Specter, Charlie Crist, Lisa MurKOWski ...

[andy58-in-nh]

By all means, yes: let's strive to emulate Europe where the political gamut runs properly from fascist to socialist to communist.

Free market capitalism? Limited government? Constitutional Republicanism? All dangerously anti-egalitarian, and so passé...

[TADSLOS]

Promises, promises....Actually, the GOP is doing just fine killing itself. The GOP doesn’t need Cruz, Paul or Lee to assist in committing their own suicide.

->>Right now voters get to choose between socialism and socialism light

Amen to your comment. Those same ole guys need to go/to be replaced/ with the thinking of saving this country and bringing in real reforms/these old guys just do not have the fight in them in which we need to move this nation back to traditional American values. Basically, one party now. GOP needs to embrace the TP views for it's survival.

“My first thought was “is that a promise?”

I hear ya. LOL!!!
