Tea party loses steam

[QuantumPion]

So you do agree that the Conservatives and Liberals are using the Tea Party for their own purposes. That the Tea Party lacks the necessary leadership and a plan to drive an actual agenda. And that until such time as they have that leadership, they are not in control of their political destiny.


...but we're having this discussion.. because you don't actually want to "say" it??

I think that is a completely accurate description and that is the point I was getting at previously.

Somebody watches too much Blen beck

Never. I consider him to be a charlatan, just like Donald Trump.

GOP kowtowing to the Media? Get real. They run the media, beat it like a rented mule. They pushed the Tea Party to the forefront, financed it and publicized it, and now they'll discard it like a used condom.

...

They got theirs, and they're afraid somebody will take it away from them. It doesn't matter who else gets screwed in the process of keeping it, either.

I agree with this part completely and that was the point I was making. Senior members in the GOP only care about keeping their own power. They use the tea party to get themselves back in power, and now its just back to the status quo.
