Tea Partying Like It's 1954

[Guns Guns Guns]

True that, I remember (/\/\/\/\/\/\/) telling me that they were all dying off and that they didn't matter anymore. Interesting. It's kind of like hearing them talk about Rush Limbaugh, one day he's the "leader of the Republican Party" and within the same day he's simply a "bloviating idiot on the radio"... At other times Glenn Beck is the "leader", then just some Mormon fool who cries on TV.

You are constructing strawmen again, disingenuous Dalai Damocles. Cite the post where I said Teatards are " all dying off and that they didn't matter anymore".



The Teatards had enough popular support in November 2010 to elect a tiny, embittered cadre of loons that the Republican leadership cannot control.





Their public support is waning, according to pollsters.



"The percentage of people with an unfavorable view of the Tea Party in a New York Times/CBS News Poll this week was higher than it has been since the first time the question was asked, in April 2010. Forty percent of those polled this week characterized their view as “not favorable,” compared with 18 percent in the first poll."





A majority of Americans polled hold them responsible for the fake deficit "crisis" and ensuing downgrade.



"Only 21 percent of the people surveyed said they approved of Republicans' handling of the negotiations, while 71 percent disapprove. Even half of the Republican respondents (51 percent) voiced disapproval of how members of their own party in Congress are handling the talks..."







By virtue of the votes they cast in the House, the Tea-errorists held America hostage, committed an act of extortion, and damaged our standing in the world credit market.

I look forward to their abject defeat in the next round of Congressional elections.



Now, dance, Damocles.

Which is why Kennedy and Johnson immediately embarked upon their illegitimate war in Viet Nam? Cause they were such right wingers?
