Some of you may recall my assertion that the Tea Party was a tool that would outlive it's purpose and get betrayed by it's host, the GOP, several years ago.

Well, here we are.

Republicans. They eat their own.

Maybe now they'll go back to calling themselves libertarians and go forth into the fringe wilderness muttering their conspiracy theories and let the adults in the room govern?

Gotta call BS on this one. They feckin' created the Tea Party and are now only reversing course because they realize that 'Baggers can't help them win elections (outside of loony places like Texas).

Dick Armey, Tom Tancredo............................

Perhaps the Tea Party already existed in some form and to a tiny degree on the fringe, but they didn't move into the mainstream until the GOP began helping them with funding, political support, air time and GOP'ers like Palin making speeches at rallies, etc., etc......

Come on, now. We were all around at that time and watched what went on. Without support from mainstream right wing media outlets like Fox and EIB and the various Republican political organizations the TP never would have left the basement.

And now that they have overstayed their welcome and become an embarrassment to their host, they are being shown to the door.

Puppets, tools, stooges.....whatever you want to call it, they have been had and it's just the ugly truth.

Ferfuksake, figure it out, already.

Who paid for those giant and wholly contrived rallies in DC? That cost way more than any goof in a tri-cornered hat from Podunk could ever raise. It cost millions. Probably tens of millions, maybe hundreds, who knows?

Didn't those stooges just take out Cantor?

Who cares? In fact, that may work against them in the general election, when "Gods appointee" runs against the Democrat.
