There appears to be a conflict within the Republican Party politicians, pundits, and propagandists, between the \u201cgood, sane Republicans\u201d, who want desperately to prevent economic catastrophe, and the evil Tea Party, who together with that vile Muslim Socialist, want our nation\u2019s business to grind to a halt.  If you believe that, see me about buying my alpine ski resort in Kansas at a great piece.  The GOP can\u2019t diverse the TEAbaggers, as Tea Party popularity plummets, because in reality, all are goose-stepping as ordered.<\/font><\/p>\n

As Washington braces for another budget showdown, this time with the threat of defunding the new healthcare law in the mix, the key political force pushing for conservative policies sees diminished popular support. Fewer Americans now describe themselves as supporters of the Tea Party movement than did at the height of the movement in 2010, or even at the start of 2012. Today’s 22% support nearly matches the record low found two years ago.<\/p>\n

In November 2010, days after the Republicans recaptured the majority in the House of Representatives, 32% of Americans pledged support for the Tea Party, or 10 percentage points higher than in the latest survey, conducted Sept. 5-8.<\/p>\n

Opponents of the Tea Party now outnumber supporters 27% to 22%, which is similar to their edge in 2012. However this differs from most of Gallup’s earlier measurements, in 2010 and 2011, when supporters and opponents were either equally matched, or Tea Party backers had the slight edge<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I learned long ago from Deep Throat<\/em> to \u201cfollow the money\u201d, and that adage has served me well.  In this case, the same people and organizations that fund Republican Party activities and candidates, also fund the Tea Party.  In addition, they caucus together, vote together and according to an acquainted in the business, even go to the cat house together.<\/font><\/p>\n

The Tea Party has become an integral Part of the Republican Party and serves the same function that the Brown Shirts did in the Nazi Party, threatening violence and invoking  fear.  Like Hitler’s Brown Shirts, they are getting carried away with their own sense of importance and power.  They love to follow orders, especially the one that told them to say nobody told them what to say and think<\/a>.<\/font><\/p>\n

I think that the Republican leadership is setting up the TEAbaggers to take the blame for whatever economic mayhem Republican sedition may cause, giving the rest, who are every bit as guilty, a way out.  In the same way, Hitler blamed his Brown Shirts for Nazi violence and the result was the Night of the Long Knives<\/em>.<\/font><\/p>\n

In short,the GOP cannot divorce the TEAbaggers, because no one can divorce themselves.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
