Tea-Party activist good or bad for the GOP?

[Ausm]

First the GOP embraces these nutjobs to shore up their base and now they have to figure out a way to distance themselves from them. I could see this coming during the last Presidential election with the McCain/Palin smear campaign.

It could help them a great deal if it means candidates come forward with true conservative views and track records.

I think in the long run, more bad than good.

tea partiers are to the GOP what the Taliban are to pakistan, they serve their immediate purpose but they soon turn into the nightmare that won't go away

 

[surfsatwerk]

Reactionary nutballs aren't good for anyone.

Some of these crazies were protesting at an intersection last weekend. One of the signs said, 'Stop Indoctrination'. I gave them the horn and :thumbsdown:

Nope. I don't go to church.

I think the OP has an unhealthy obsession with the GOP, since he posts about two GOP threads a day.

I think the entire democrat party has an unhealthy obsession with the GOP. Crap, they whine more about the GOP now while in complete control of government than they did when GWB was running the show!

Sadly that's not really what the tea party nutjobs are after; I don't remember anyone protesting 800B war in middle east... You can't preach about fiscal conservatism and also support random expeditions to other countries.

I would guess that those people are the right wing proletariat - generally less educated, lower income and more religious. The kind of folk that thinks that gov't should be small and out of their life (i.e. no smoking bans), but at the same time get swayed by populist measures (tax oil companies, give UAW equity in bankruptcy etc. etc. )

Start listing examples

When I see people like Lindsey Graham get their asses handed to them by Republicans, it isn't a bad thing.

It shows you that the GOP is starting to rip apart to me considering Graham voted the party line 90+ % of the time.

 

[Patranus]

Has nothing to do with the GOP and since it is not linked to the GOP the odds are that since the GOP does what the tea party protesters are against, it is bad...

And yet, at the end of the day, super majority + president = that doesn't mean shit.


edit: But once again, thanks for proving my point :laugh:

Great logic

Not terribly bright are you? Genetics or childhood accident?

I'll type slowly and clearly for you, with some bolding for emphasis. See those are two separate issues.

1) The democrats have the power to pass and sign into law any legislation they choose
2) The democrats have the power to pass and sign into law any legislation at any pace they choose

So yes, the dems haven't passed shit legislatively, and they also are rushing the shit they are trying to pass through, at the same time blaming the GOP for their failures. Hope that helps.

(and no, I don't disagree the GOP is trying to block everything. Pretty much the minority playbook).

Fox and Limbaugh spend 100% of their time railing against anything (D) and it's the (D)'s who are obsessed? LOL!!!!!!! :laugh:

Nice personal attack

You must be a Republican because you obviously bitch about everything and nothing the Dems would do could ever make you happy...

Is your angst against me based on getting totally bitchslapped in the last election?

I hoped I typed this slow enough for you
