Well, it looks like Romney is spinning his wheels (and his head) trying to figure out how to please everyone. First, he wants to please his wealthy buddies (his REAL agenda), but he knows he can't get elected with just their votes. So he wants to please the Tea Party types, whose votes he needs, but he can't do that without offending the hispanics, whose votes he also needs.

 

The Tea Party has become so toxic to the Republican Party that main stream Repubs are embarrassed by them. Romney wants to please main stream Repubs too, but how can he do that when he has to please the wackos and fundies? He needs the votes of these birthers and Limbaugh junkies, but if he says what pleases them, the main stream folks will consider HIM a wacko.

 

Meanwhile, independants are scratching their heads trying to figure out who the REAL Romney is and realizing that they are better off re-electing the man they know, rather than this big unknown.

 

But it all comes down to the wackos in the Tea Party. After listening to the bubblehead twins (Palin and Bachman) during the primaries, most people with common sense realize that the Republican Party has been taken over (or at least there has been an ATTEMPT to take it over) by a group with tunnel vision, or rather a complete lack of vision, ability, sense, or sanity 

 

Between them and the sour taste left by the Bush disaster, I predict that it will be a L O N G time before a Republican is elected president in this country.

O No it really comes down to what the voters in a few swing states like Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia do. Alabama ain't voting for Barry no matter what and California would reject Romney likewise. The effect of the Tea Party, Birthers, Occupy this or that really won't count very much.

 

As for who really matters did you catch any of Jamie Dimon's testimony before Congress? JP Morgan, Citi, Bank of America and their ilk call the shots. Everything else is pretty much sideshow.

The great failure of the Tea  Party sect is their refusal to recognize a sine qua non of politics, namely that politics is the ART of COMPROMISE.

 

The "my way or the highway" attitude of Tea Party nut jobs has  created an image of rigidity and recalcitrance that is a big turn-off not only for mainstream Republicans (assuming any of those are still around) but for any thoughtful persons who are attempting to reckon with the hard realities of current political and economic issues. The stiff-necked,  adamantine attitudes of Tea Party dogmatists are catalyzing their current decline and will bring about their eventual  disappearance as any kind of useful voice in American politics.

Tell that to your lost comrades of 2010 and the ones (including) the First Lady and her old man that will be history come 2013. Come on November. Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.

Skippy

According to the head witch, Pelosi, that 'astro turf' fad wasn't worth talking about. Now it still seems to get under the skin of the liberals who's attempt at a similar message _The Coffee Party_ failed so miserably that no one knows it even existed.  Then comes OWS that used violence, destruction and lawlessness to get their message across. First embraced by the dems, then shunned as fast as they could get their 'twits' (borrowed from Bob Beckel) out.

More fear from the liberals who see that Obama's 'hope and change' message will take place in November, but not the way they wanted it.

Truly a case of "pot calling kettle!"  The present and recent leadership of the Democrats is the most radical left wing since 1968, at least.  Combine that radicalism with the most incompetent administratin since Carter, and its truly a 3-ring circus.  

 

Most of the tea partiers simply represent a return to constitutional government and fiscal responsibility.  Hardly a radical stance!
