The Republicans have created the TEA-MONSTER, and it is eating them alive.

Obviously we have all heard of seamonsters. Well, the Republicans have created a great big nasty TEA-Monster, and it is eating them alive. It is devouring their credibility. It is chomping up their sanity. It is sucking down their relevance. And it is even eating their own, like a crazed animal eating its own tail. Did you see the TeaMonster crowd eating up McCain at his town hall because he wants some immigration reform? Bwahahahaha! Lie down with a dog, and you get bit by the dog. Create a
TEA-Monster, and its eats you alive. It is a crazed cannibal. And guess what, the Republicans did this to themselves. Couldn't have happened to a better bunch of assholes. Now watch the TEA-Monster break off and split the R's in two for 2016 after the R's help pass immigration reform and more gun background checks. These idiots really put themselves between a rock a hard place when they created the TEA-Monster. Now they know they can't be a real national party without reaching out to the groups that the TEA-Monster HATES. Bwahahahahaha...

sub-monster varieties I have identified thus far.

There may be others, because I don't think TEA-Monsters want to be recognized as the racist classists they are, so they're hybridizing.

They were crazy to start with. They never had credibility: They loved Bush and Reagan.

Other than that, right on! Hey, that's a good saying: "Right On, Teabaggers, you just keep going. More power to you"

Most of my libertarian friends on FB have nothing but likes for Repub cable/radio programs and politicians, and of course, the "Being Conservative" page.

Now the TP is costing them elections because of crazy candidates. They will not be able to wn with that bunch. It says something when Dick Armey left and he was glad to escape. This group does not have a clue in conservative ways, they just are obstructionist and w
probably will not ever get a majority to get anything pased. Totally useless

They're the product of a divisive news network with a psychotic agenda and financed by two incredibly egotistical billionaires who envision themselves as third world dictators. This is a dangerous cocktail and their actions border on treason.

And it will shift this country further to the left. And that is a good thing!

stripping the mask off the mean-spirited, intellectually-challenged and morally bankrupt Republican Party.

They've always been nasty, but now it really shows.

of their party, thus revealing the party's "mean-spirited, intellectually-challenged and morally bankrupt" nature. The 'corporates' was grateful for the emotion and votes from the tea party types for a while, but now have to wonder about the electoral consequence of "stripping of the mask" off their true motives.

friendly to their business interests, and to install politicians who will do the same.

"tea party" politicians and protesters are direct puppets of the very rich.

The tea-jerks have driven many moderate republicans out of the republican party and are actively driving out mild center-right republicans. Those people are going to call themselves independents for a while, but will recognize that they have more power over elections if they become democrats. And therein will come the split. Once the former republicans gain critical mass in the democratic party, a few will further moderate, but most will stay at the center and the center-right. With more philosophical strains in it, the democratic party will split into two large, dominant parties, both with the center at their core. One party will be left-center and the other party will be center-right. The true centrists will swing between the two parties, election by election. The republican party? The republican party will be irrelevant when the democratic party splits in two to form two competing large parties.

Congressional Districts (13-5), and one US Senate seat. Hopefully they will eat themselves alive before the next election here.
