The tea party was killed today

[jmowreader]

The tea party voters demanded the total eradication of Obamacare even if the nation was destroyed in the process. That isn't happening, so I think the teabaggers will take their balls and go home without voting for congressmen ever again.

1. The teabaggers are very pissed

This is like the second time in the nearly 15 years since they started stockpiling in their bunkers that they don't actually get a post-apocalyptic world.

[Divine Discontent]

2. they certainly have been rejected by the majority,

sadly, their districts are the problem. will they have the realization their congressional rep is a tool, and vote in someone with half a lick of sense?

[robinlynne]

9. no.

[Divine Discontent]

16. exactly.

they'll be taken in again by rhetoric against two dudes getting hitched, or babies being cracked in half and sucked out of the womb, etc and put the same knuckle-dragging fools back in. the seats I think we can pick up and gain the majority are predominately in less red areas than where those teahadists reign...

3. Meh, even if that were true, which I doubt...

The RW echo chamber/PR machine will just dredge up another RW bullshit (or maybe I should say elephant shit) movement.

Chances are, it's already in the works.

[FarPoint]

4. I don't think they are actually done yet...

They got shot in the ass but they still have a strong pulse. Additionally, America typically thrives on short-term memory only. We will need to constantly keep them reminded of these antics and drama by the teabaggers.

[tavernier]

5. And have you ever heard such crying

in your life????

I'm enjoying this Soooooo much!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. I dunno... remember the end of the movie "Carrie"

where the hand shoots up out of the grave?

[jeff47]

7. No, they'll vote. They'll vote for the craziest Republican they can in the primary

Now, that means the Republicans will start having trouble in general elections, but the teabaggers will vote.

[cali]

8. yeah, but did anyone put a stake through its shriveled black heart?

[get the red out]

10. I doubt it!

It's already had enough near death experiences to keep "Coast to Coast AM" occupied for the next decade.

[silvershadow]

14. Coast to Coast, as interesting as it can be, is a right-wing cesspool of subtle indoctrination along

with the not-so-subtle. Heh heh heh (George Noory's fake laugh). And John B. Wells is ten times worse, and more obvious.

[get the red out]

19. That's why I haven't listened in a long time

I didn't want to hear that shit. It's paranormal baggerism.

[silvershadow]

20. I only listen now when George Knapp is on. That's pretty much it. Gonna catch Art Bell

soon, as soon as I get Sirius for my phone (any time now).

[get the red out]

21. I've gone to podcasts

I've found a number of decent podcasts to fill my paranormal talk void; people who aren't pushing a RW agenda or are even on the liberal side politically. I have had fun with that on my iPhone.

11. zombie psychos?

we'll see...

[Gothmog]

12. The only thing that died was the tea party's ability to get Wall Street funding

The grass roots supporters of the tea party are alive and well. Wall Street and the business community may be more reluctant to give these idiots money now but these idiots will still have power so long as they can primary the more sane members of the GOP and win these primaries.

Ted Cruz raised a great deal of money during this mess and he can help some tea party types run in GOP primaries in order to increase the numbers of idiots willing to eat dinner with him at Tortilla Coast.

[DesertRat]

13. I don't think so

I think that some of them will just be more fired up. Fortunately their numbers are small.

[0rganism]

15. give it some time, see what happens

They've suffered a defeat, and hurt the republican party in the process. But such setbacks tend to be temporary, many voters have memory comparable to that of fruit flies, and the big money behind the right-wing media hasn't started working its apologetics and counter-accusations yet. If this translates to a draw, let alone a win, in next year's elections, I'll be quite pleasantly surprised.

[11 Bravo]

17. I hope it wasn't painless.

[Javaman]

18. perhaps, but I fear something worse is in our future...

the zomibe tea party.

[calimary]

22. I wish. But I doubt it.

They'll just try to figure out how to get around whatever it was that stopped them this time. They're just sneaky little cowardly shits.
