You people always like to use a few as examples and overlook the many successful Tea Party (not "teabaggers" — I'm going to think up an equally disgusting term to use for Leftists) candidates who won seats from incumbent Democrats.

And by the way, O'Donnel was the victim of a very succesful smear campaign (and her tax records illegally accessed and a false claim of a tax lein against a property she no longer owned). But that's how Leftists (Democrats) win elections, because they cannot win on ideas. They have to lie, cheat, smear their opponents, and commit voter fraud (Al Franken "won" after numerous "recounts" where they myseriously kept "finding" uncounted votes).

Default Republican Unconditional Surrender on Obamacare

They really had no option. They foolishly put themselves into a corner with no way out but through defeat.

Your teapublican heroes at work, right wingers. Stand proud.

They were paying too great a political price. It would have been a pyrrhic victory.

Are you people that blind?
I guess from your ultra rightie perspective every one who doesnt agree with your assessment that America is doomed and its all Obamas fault is evidently blind.
From my supposed Blind perspective i see a rightwing demographic going absolutely nuts over this Presidents stay in office since day one,
The reality is America will do just fine when the tea party releases the shackles of hate and delusion they seem to be bringing to the political game and allow Dems and Repubs to govern in a bi partisan way , getting the righties all fired up with hysterical ideas over every single issue is a rather useless and non productive way to run the country...IMO

OK, so why don't you provide us with a list of the "many" Tea Party folks who won either House or Senate seats from incumbent Democrats in the last (ie 2012) election?

Smart people ask themselves "Do I want to die on this hill?" before they charge. 'baggers, on the other hand...
