They do have a history of turning on their own!The Tea Party astroturf army is moving into position now that Congress is in their August recess and members have gone home to their districts. Their mission, should they choose to accept it, will be the total destruction of the Republican Party as it has existed for decades.
i've been saying that i thought the republicans were deliberately trying to scuttle the right wing ship of fools in order to get rid of the T-Per's,looks like i may have had it backwards, if so this pumps up the reason to do all possible to get rid of them 2014.One sweltering July day, a half-dozen tea party protesters gathered under a tree in front of Rubio's Miami office, seeking shade as they denounced his support for an immigration overhaul.But the protest soon turned into more of a support group, with the four men and two women grousing to each other about how Rubio had turned into a "back-stabber," a "liar" and a "flip-flopper."Juan Fiol, a real estate broker who organized the protest, kept looking at his phone, waiting for calls from fellow tea party supporters that never came."It was supposed to be a big event," he said as he waved a large "Don't Tread on Me" flag.The movement's top strategists acknowledge the tea party is quieter today, by design. It has matured, they said, from a protest movement to a political movement.Large-scale rallies have given way to strategic letter-writing and phone-banking campaigns to push or oppose legislative agendas in Washington and state capitals. In Michigan and Ohio, for example, leaders have battled the implementation of the president's health law and the adoption of "Common Core" state school standards.
Local activists say they have focused largely on their own communities since Obama's re-election and the ideological drift of some tea party-backed politicians. Many are running for school boards, county commissions and city councils, focusing on issues such as unfunded pension liabilities and sewer system repairs.
is it really that or has the air gone out of the tires and the bus won't go? these people talk as if they were oblivious to what that party has done to America, and how unloved they really are.
Yes, Marco Rubio is being drummed out of Tea Party ranks because he actually worked with -- AHEM -- Democrats to fashion some kind of immigration reform bill that could possibly pass. Not that I'm too sad about Rubio's fall from grace, you understand, but it just illustrates how batsh*t crazy these people are. They truly believe they know the One True Way to Liberty, and damn anyone who steps off their very, very narrow line.Nevertheless, the pending immigration bill is certainly one of the hot button issues for town hall meetings. Fox News managed to choke out a report about it without actually looking too awfully biased, though they saved Jeff Sessions'threat for the end of their article.Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Session [sic], among the strongest critics of the Senate bill, circulated a letter earlier this week that appeared to serve as a strategy memo for House Republicans this month."The GOP has a choice: It can either deliver President Obama his ultimate legislative triumph, and with it, a crushing hammer blow to working Americans that they will not soon forgive," wrote Sessions. "Or it can begin the essential drive to regain the trust of struggling Americans who have turned away. … This 1,200-page immigration bill is a legislative monstrosity."
this shows the segregationist attitude of these people, they talk about tax and representation, the civil war was fought behind this same bigotry and they lost but not the genes of hate. we need to rise and neuter this before it goes any further and expel those in gov't that only seek to destroy so they can be in charge, at the rate they are going in charge of what each other, then watch the worms turn. as you can see they never meant anything that had to do with immigration and reaching out, one side of the party knows the detriment of not including the other side's arrogance somehow tell them they don't need them.
women of the T-P are disgraceful harlots of injustice to their own gender and seem to be proud of it, what were they promise a seat at the table?.
This will come as a surprise to almost no one, via the NPR article:National tea party leaders hope to re-energize followers by focusing on two of the movement's chief targets: the Internal Revenue Service and the health law. They said the Obama administration had handed them a recruiting tool when it delayed the law's implementation and when the IRS singled out tea party groups and other conservative political organizations for special scrutiny.Of course, we know that the IRS did NOT single out tea party groups and other conservative political organizations for special scrutiny, but there are a group of billionaire-funded activists in Washington DC who not only invented that whole theme, they continue to flog it when the horse is dead, buried, in the grave and the headstone placed. As for their stance on immigration, please remember what their memo trumpeted to the Faithful back in March:Immigration is a meta-issue, an existential issue. If we lose on immigration we lose on every other issue. The key to defeating this bill is Sen. Rubio. He can gracefully remove himself from the “gang of 8” and still save face. There are a number of issues that can provide the out.
But this time, the tea party has a bit of a problem. For starters, there's an enthusiasm gap. Going back to the first quote from NPR, I note that in Florida, that bastion of tea party activism, there were exactly four women and two men present for the Big Protest.
zealots drive unreason and misinformation, at some point it because clear that is just that and those who feel duped no longer show up, their kids and relatives take the brunt of their idiocracy, and soon they are alienated by those who once cheered now just look the other way. would have really been good if it was about protesting for a legitimate reason, but it looks more and more like they were planning a coup of the republican party, and we know what their platform is, take a look around. wonder if those who are no longer there knew what the were hiching the horse to?
