44. Tea Party Republicans Have Effectively Destroyed the GOP

Tue Aug 21, 2012, 05:27 PM

Aug 2012

I hope every damn one of the Tea Party Republicans who were elected in 2010 lose their seats in Congress. The Tea Party has effectively destroyed the GOP by their "no compromise" policy and also by MItch McConnell's remark that their #1 priority was the defeat of Barack Obama... not the creation of jobs or working to improve the economy but to defeat the President.

I live in Georgia where we have a Republican governor and 2 Republican US Senators. My county votes 65% Republican so as one of a handful of liberal Democrats I am about as welcomed as a bad rash on their GOP posteriors.
