Democrats declare the tea party ‘over’

[damnedifIknow]

MADISON, Wis.—The tea party, at least its widespread influence on Republican congressional candidates, "is over," declared the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the party group charged with electing Democrats to the House."

"House Republican incumbents—and their candidates—are running as far away from the Tea Party as they can," a pre-election DCCC memo provided to Yahoo News reads. "Regardless of whether [Republicans] win or lose, the Tea Party of 2010 is over."

1. That's great. But they'll flee to the Libertarian Party and be cool all over again.

Some will be rebranded by the GOP, some won't.

2. The tea party is now the republican party. They control the GOP now.

3. Ummmm...should we have some sort of ceremony or sumthin'?

Maybe have Lemmy sing them a song?

9. A wake, perhaps?

5. Their internal polls must be telling them something.

I hope that I am correct about this, as it is mere speculation.

However, I feel strongly that this is no mere taunt. There is a reason why the DCCC is releasing this on the eve of the election.

This taunt may have some data behind it.

I hope so. Dare it.

I think it is very unlikely that we'll take back the House. However, dare to hope that many of the congressional tea baggers are driven out of office.

We already know of a few who likely will, with Joe Walsh (IL-06) heading the list -- go Tammy Duckworth.

6. I saw that, and the usual Yahoo comments below it

Freepers and children in total meltdown about the scary black man in the White House.

7. Maybe so, but teahadist lunatic Ted Cruz is likely to be elected to the Senate tomorrow

Just imagine. . . John Cornyn will be the less-loathsome senator from Texas if that happens!

8. Stupid Will Never Die

Sounds like wishful thinking, unfortunately. Unless, of course, we can throw them all in the bay

10. Tea party, Republican, Klu Klux Klan, Chamber of Commerce...it all spends the same

The DCCC memo is goofy in pretending the Tea garbage is anything but TeaPubliKlan-Regular and probably is trying to pretend that it is now time for bipartisan blah-blah-blah.

Pointless and senseless drivel.
