Democrat Lets The Cat Out Of The Bag

[4est_4est_Gump]

If you are defining Tea Party as extreme, then you are simply inventing fact again unless you want to admit to having embraced soft Socialism. In that case they might look kind of extreme to you, but I will not accept one without the other.

Yeah the Tea Party is all done. McConnell won right? That proves it right? What you fail to grasp is that 40% of Republican voters voted against him. Nobody said the Tea Party was going to win every battle. Conservatives aren't going anywhere. You should probably get educated:

Six races lost. Not one. And only 15% admitting support. I'd call that losing.

He's developing a chronic Robism, he loves to misquote people and ascribe false notions and beliefs to others.

You two discussing ascription is fucking hilarious.

In the very first thread about the Tea Party, I predicted that it would only serve to provide the democrats to target, following Alinsky, in order to tarnish Republicans, and they did, mindlessly, like a herd, in the same manner that on the day McCain announced Palin, they went batshit crazy:

Over in another thread, the dog-whistle is Libertarian.

Just mindless babble from the enemies of free thought.

These are primaries for God's sake. They have shaped the debate. McConnell knows if the conservatives walk away from him he'll lose in November. Don't be unrealistic.

Truth is, McConnell and his Rove backers spent more money defeating and villifiying a Tea Party conservative than they might defeating Democrats. Biven spent 3.3 million, McConnell raised 21 million and spent 11 million to beat Bevin. I will say this, the establishment Rinos like McConnell who go after conservatives like he did, doesn't deserve their support in November and they ought to stay home, and send a message. Personally, I'd rather have an enemy I know in the Senate, than one who says one thing during the primaries and the election then goes to Washington and stabs me in the back with votes to expand the administrative state against my interests.

Yes, they are primaries and Republicans expressed their preference. And the telling part of my post, which you chose not to quote, is that support for the extreme faction is down to 15%. And that can't be spun. It is what it is.

From one of those threads:

That's it? Is that all you Republicans bring to the table is empty spin? Everyone knows Obama is a dazzling, intelligent, informed and knowledgable candidate who's been vetted in public for months.

Pretending he is some Bush-league typical Republican, idealogue based, incompetent appointment ala Mike Brown, Clarence Thomas, Stupid Sarah, Alan Keyes, etc. is just ludicrous.


Funniest thing I've seen in weeks.

Bevin got 35.7% of the vote, so what was admitted to is incorrect.

Apples and oranges. 35% of Kentucky registered Republicans voted for the Tea Party candidate. 15% of the general population in a poll admit support of the TP.

I don't agree. The far right has moved the bar on extremism. Twenty years ago, Mitch Mc Connell would have been the most conservative member of the Senate. Now he is considered "mainstream". The Tea Party is losing steam because the GOP establishment is kowtowing to all their demands.

Of course, it won't work. It never has. The history of conservative politics in America has been pretty linear, going back at least as far as Eisenhower Vs Taft. The fringe makes demands, the GOP "establishment" cedes ground to them, they make more demands, the establishment balks, and you get a 1964/1976/2010 uprising. The establishment moves right, and the cycle begins again. Eventually, they will move right out of the realm of electoral politics all together, and we will have a partisan realignment.

 

[Adre]

The actual apples mean something, your oranges don't mean shit.

We'll see about that. I'm willing to wait.

The 35% represents support for low taxes, limited government, and constitution adherence, that so called extremism you keep mentioning.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~~~~~~!!!!

Yes because republicans have a strong track record for that

You can look forward to a LOT of such non-sense from the good congressman. He represents Florida's 26th district which is essentially comprised of Everglades Nat'l Park and Key West. And Key West, locally known as "The Conch Republic", is a study in 'weird' all on it's own. It makes Greenwich Village look positively middle-of-the-road. Garcia is probably secure in his seat.

Conservatives aren't going anywhere.

Oh, yes they are -- to the grave. As are we all, but the difference is that conservative ranks will not be replenished by commensurate numbers from the next generation. In the short term, of course, you're entirely right.

Tii-iii-iiime is on my side, yes it is . . .

[KingOrfeo]

A point in your favor then. The fact remains, extremism is losing.

OTOH, the "Establishment" Pubs mostly won on Tea Party messaging. The TP can fairly be said to have taken over the party in that sense -- maybe; we'll see what they actually do in office next term.
