First it was Rush Limbaugh was thrown off the air, then Faux Snooze is gone, and now the Tea Party is dead.

Are we finally seeing the demise of the Tea Party?
A recent conservative Rasmussen poll released in the Huff Post found that only 30% of the country has a favorable view of the Tea Party. A compelling 50% view the party unfavorably. Rasmussen also reports that only 8% of Americans claim to be Tea Party affiliated. I fail to see how those numbers can command the clout this gang of fanatics has over Congress. I am on their email list and here are some of the headlines of their posts:
Obama Communist Coup Underway: America in Danger
(Pic of Obama with Swastika on his arm)
Don’t let Obama get away with murder and treason
Shock claim: Obama picks Muslim for CIA chief
There were more but the above three represent the most egregious.
The Tea Party took a beating in the Senate in 2012 when many of their supported candidates lost. The House did much better but the writing was on the wall when some key members were defeated and Michelle Bachmann won only with a slim margin. It is probably a slam dunk Bachmann will lose in 2014; she just voted against the Violence Against Women Act.

12. They will just rebrand
They never change their views and goals or tactics. They only change their name.
Actually that is what you goons do. You change what you are called every few years, and then you change what terms you use to describe issues, global climate change being the best example of that.

23. Not at all.
After the tea party won BIG today by having the sequestration cuts go into effect, they've proven they are a very viable force within the Republican Party. They scared Boehner & McConnell into not even negotiating with Pres. Obama.
Low information voters believe that it was all because the repukes wouldn't negotiate. How quickly they forget that 0bama himself said there would be no negotiations it is his way or the highway.

Maybe it was because Obama lied, moved the goal posts (again) and said he would only negotiate by getting even more taxes than he got last month.
Besides, Obama and the Senate have made it very clear that they have no intentions of ever negotiating on anything. It's all a big political game and you dip s***s swallow it hook, line and sinker.

Considering that Obama has spent his entire presidency, when not golfing or on vacation, denigrating and demonizing the GOP, it's easy to understand that they should finally give a big "FU" to Obama.

Well someone has to be the adults in the room and start looking out for the country and not their political party. We'll see when the big issue comes up here soon.....raising the debt ceiling. That's when Obama will put demonizing and denigrating the GOP on steroids.
