Republicans might want to skip the tea party if they want a victory party in 2014, according to a new poll released Wednesday, Dec. 4.
The nonpartisan Field Poll found almost half of California voters think the tea party has a negative effect on American politics and two-thirds believe the populist conservative movement will hurt the GOP in the 2014 congressional elections.
The poll, conducted for The Press-Enterprise and other California media subscribers, also shows New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is much more popular in the Golden State than other possible contenders for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
Emerging after Democrat Barack Obama won the White House in 2008, the tea party is credited with helping the GOP take control of the House of Representatives in 2010. Tea party members generally advocate for limited government, free enterprise and reducing the national debt through spending cuts.
But tea party-backed members of Congress bore the brunt of the blame for the October federal government shutdown. And tea party loyalists such as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, were chastised by other GOP members for pursuing an uncompromising path to defunding Obamacare.
The Field Poll conducted from Nov. 14 to Dec. 2 found that 47 percent said the tea party negatively affects American politics; 20 percent said it had a positive effect. Republican-registered voters were more likely to view the tea party favorably.
But roughly two-thirds of respondents and 48 percent of GOP voters said the tea party would weaken the GOP in next year’s congressional races.
I think they are doing us a great favor-people in Maine are starting to see who is running our republican friends party -and many republicans say they will stray away from party suggestions and their hand picked candidates
how much super pac money did romney get
WASHINGTON -- Independent conservative groups are going to have to come to terms with the fact that they spent more than $700 million -- 70 percent of all of the reported independent spending in the 2012 election -- and walked away with little to show for it.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was supported by outside groups that outspent allies of President Barack Obama by $260 million. And yet he still lost.
This ultimately raises the question of whether the much-feared independent spending unleashed by the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling was a dud. After all that money spent by independent groups largely financed by billionaires and millionaires, the government looks almost identical to the way it did before. Obama remains president, the Senate is firmly Democratic and the Republicans control the House.
As it turns out, you can't buy a different electorate, or a better candidate, no matter how much money you throw at it.
the republicans in disarray
A series of new polls are starting to paint a bleak picture for Republican's future and their ability to relate to a broad spectrum of the American people. The very public battle between the extreme and moderate wings for the soul of the party seems to be falling to the former and could lead to Democrats picking up seats in the House and beyond.
A new poll by ABC shows Independents relate more generally with Democrats on a wide swath of issues while Republicans continue to lose ground with Millennial and minorities.
It may be more surprising that Republicans are also losing ground on governing and economic issues. The polls indicates that Ted Cruz not only failed to speak for the American people as he has suggested, but that Americans still blame the Republican Party for the shutdown.
the gop has many woes

a typical post by a typical uninformed republican
" this is a typical decade behind wannabee conservative's behind the times fox news listener: No matter what your opinion is of Fox News, the fact that the whack-o Leftist/Socialist George Soros and his numb followers are going full out to destroy them is reason enough to keep them on the air. The Left fears Fox News and they should."
George soros is worth about 14 billion, the Koch brothers are worth about 27 billion each ! pete Peterson is worth almost the combined wealth of those mentioned and dummy probably doesn't even know the name!
nor does he have the mentality to research who the biggest political spenders are and their worth, the business connections and the political groups they donate to! he depends on faux news as his bible for politics!
hhmmm soon he will lose his format-the left is the reason for their demise! actually it is economics and the card blanc given to the chosen few!
you see if you disagree or write something factual to correct a point like tabor you were band - well we tried to tell ya -how did it turn out for ya?
their is always left, right and those in between in politics! (this is a lesson we can all review)
local elections
my area seemed to have the cleanest election in years - I think the bonds went about as expected- also I think people are better served when an election is about projects or goals and not about dirty laundry
well the red sox done it
though not an avid red sox fan I want to congratulate those who are. I think the series this year was between the two best baseball teams fielded in a few years. I only wish that the Celtics, bruins and Pats could win their fields! you see I'm still a braves fan. but I have always been a Celtics, bruins and pats fan.
Once again kudos red sox fans!
I'm tired of the extreme right and it's paid puppets

the answer to the tea party and the puppet republican party; check out "Adam Green" and the progressive party! not only do they expose how corporate money is influencing our laws and policy making-but how to prevent this and make a better life for working Americans. One simple move of social security taxes would make social security solvent for years! but you don't hear this because corporate and wealthy billionaires control the media! look up Adam Green AND THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY! A FORCE THAT CAN SHUT DOWN AND SHOUT DOWN THE TEA PARTY PUPPETS!
the answer to the far right
