Fears About Fallout From GOP Divide With Tea Party

[Purveyor]

FLETCHER, N.C. (AP) -- Tea party activists, once unquestioned as a benefit to the Republican Party for supplying it with votes and energy, are now criticizing GOP leaders at seemingly every turn.

They're demanding that Congress use upcoming budget votes to deny money for putting in place President Barack Obama's 2010 health care law, despite warnings the strategy could lead to a government shutdown.

They're upset that Republicans didn't block a Senate-passed immigration bill.

Many are outspoken opponents of any U.S. involvement in Syria's civil war.

A recent Pew Research Center survey found that more than 7 in 10 self-identified "tea party Republicans" disapprove of the job performance of GOP congressional leaders.

3. If there was a pole among Democrats on the performance of thr TP it would be very low.

If the GOP was smart they would kick this bunch to the curb and have at least part of their reputation restored.

5. The bill passed. The President was re-elected. The SCOTUS ruled it constitutional.

The GOP has lost this thing at every turn. How about sitting the fuck down and letting the clear will of the people be done?

Again: You. Lost. Quit whining.

6. My question is...

Who are the corporations that are funneling money into this bunch of low information bozos? Without money they would disappear in the blink of an eye. So where is the money coming from and what use do they have for these useful idiots?
