National Review: "Why the Tea Party's Waning, not Winning"

Posted: May 20, 2015

I do wish more Tea Partiers had stuck to Ron Paul's ideology and temperament. Even the conservative National Review says they haven't stayed true to the cause, the insinuation being they are hypocrits.

(And they come across as so angry as well, but Ron Paul didn't :/)

PS: My original post said the WSJ instead of National Review. I had articles open from both on the same issue but chose the National Review instead, sorry about that

Ow, you would know that Putin (man) is different than Communism (political ideology). Try getting it straight before you attempt snarky insults- otherwise, you look foolish.

Wow, just wow! - Unbelievable! nm

themselves to make it look like they have massive support. Comical sight to behold..the chuckles and giggles they provide with their antics trying to make it seem like they have a following is priceless.

Reminiscent of Obama buying his twitter followers.

Political discussion is always welcome by any political persuasion in my thread.

Discussion and actual debate is preferred over insults hurled at others without political content, as we often see from some TP-ers.

Corrected: National Review not the WSJ, my apologies - The Anon Formerly Known as Julia Sugarbaker

Sorry, I had different two articles from both conservative publications with a negative view on the Tea Party lately, but I chose the NR to post. I edited it/correct it since.

I hope with everything I have in me that the Tea Party does not represent the Republican Party. This is what the Tea Party stands for. They are full of vitriole and hatred.

To add insult to injury, McC thinks President Obama's remarks were "impressive" and that he "very appropriately" highlighed his experiences as an African-American male relative to the Trayvon Martin case. He also voiced his support for Affirmative Action programs and, contrary to Ted Cruz's view, sees "no connection" between SYG laws and gun control. http://crooksandliars.com/ http://www.politico.com/blogs/politico-live/2013/07/mccain-review-stand-your-ground-law ...
