A year ago, the tea party movement looked like an irresistible wave sweeping through the Republican Party.


Anyone who hoped to win this year's GOP presidential nomination, it seemed, would need to embrace tea party activists' stringent demands for smaller government, lower taxes and deep cuts in spending.



But in Tuesday's Iowa caucuses, the three candidates who hewed closest to the tea party line — Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich — sank straight to the bottom of the pack.


Instead of choosing a rigorous fiscal conservative such as Bachmann, Perry or Gingrich, Iowa Republicans divided most of their votes between Mitt Romney, the tea party's least favorite candidate, and Rick Santorum, a social conservative who voted for big spending and defended congressional earmarks when he was in the Senate.



:lol:

and i'll bet you're too stupid to figure out why that is, right?
 
In national polls too the tea party's allure has been fading.

A study in November by the Pew Research Center found that 27% of the public said they disagreed with the tea party, while only 20% said they agreed — a striking reversal from a year earlier, when 27% agreed.

The poll's authors said it appeared that voters increasingly blamed the tea party and its champions in Congress for the gridlock in negotiations over the federal budget.

I wonder who Newt's next "stress-reliever" will be this time?

Newtzis' love for America may cause him to repeat his slimy adulterous behavior, and the Religious Right will forgive him....again.

Fortunately, they are losing steam, as this thread proves.
 
I was going to point out that the OP, for no apparent reason, completely ignored Ron Paul, but Billy got here first. Either way, its yet another edition of Legion FAIL.
