Predictably, Tea Baggers conclude Romney wasn't wingnut enough to win...

Oh please, oh please... Go all 3rd-party on their asses. The completely revisionist history on Reagan is a nice touch, too.



Tea Party Declares #WAR on GOP Establishment

The Tea Party Patriots declared war on the Republican establishment after moderate establishment Republican Mitt Romney's loss to President Barack Obama on Tuesday.

Jenny Beth Martin, National Coordinator of Tea Party Patriots, criticized the Republican Party for hand-picking a Beltway elite candidate who did not campaign forcefully on America's founding principles and said the "presidential loss is unequivocally on them."

“For those of us who believe that America, as founded, is the greatest country in the history of the world – a ‘Shining city upon a hill’ – we wanted someone who would fight for us,” Martin said. “We wanted a fighter like Ronald Reagan who boldly championed America’s founding principles, who inspired millions of independents and ‘Reagan Democrats’ to join us, and who fought his leftist opponents on the idea that America, as founded, was a ‘Shining city upon a hill.’

Instead, Martin lamented, "what we got was a weak moderate candidate, hand-picked by the Beltway elites and country-club establishment wing of the Republican Party."

Every time the GOP loses they say it's because they were not far enough to the right.

Which means they will go even farther right now. Hard to imagine how they will do that.

Maybe go after a woman's right to vote?

I don't know. They are pretty crazy already.

This was the candidate the GOP picked after a gazillion debates. Do they seriously think any of those other candidates would have done better? Michele Bachmann bary hung onto her seat.

There just aren't enough wackos to push one of their own into the White House.

That nasty donut eater, Amy Kremer, was on CNN and she's full of vile, no compromise, where's the budget, "they did it first" kind of crap. Frankly, I'm tired of hearing these pukes spew their hate and venom. The big thing is they can't come to terms with having lost so badly after their commanding performance in 2010 and they sure as hell didn't want some Kenyan Marxist Socialist birth certificate compromised black man back in power; they now have a big mad!

Let 'em go 3rd party - there's no way they'll survive, especially when so many of them are in red states, already using "entitlements" and not coordinated enough to pull their own heads from their rectal cavities.

They never learn, do they? By 2016 King Ronald the Simple will have been out of office for 28 years. No one under 45 will have any idea who he was.

And not having the OxyRush Seal of Approval is what cost Mittens dearly.

I have always loved how they eat their own.
