Leftists are wrong about everything.

When they make a prediction, the opposite will come to pass.

Moonbat Lib Democrats who think they align with the Obama Admin should know that Obama revived Koch money and even more during the last legs of the 2012 presidential election.

Default Wanna bet? Can we say, "Virginia?"

It will be restricted to state and local races in backwards jurisdictions, until it finally fades away.

The good news: the nation will have two responsible parties again , with competing visions, but both believing in democracy and government.

The bad news: No more clown car presidential fields. MAN, those guys were hilarious!

The GOP presidential candidates in 2016 will be four or five successful current and former governors, who will have broad appeal, and give Clinton a real run for her money!

Tea Party RIP. You won't be missed.
The Virginia governors race proves you wrong. If it had not been for the Democrats funding a "spoiler," Cuccinelli would have won handily.

McAuliffe just squeeked by. If there had been even a few more days before the election, after people found out the Dems were funding Sarvis, it would have been over for McAuliffe.

Link, please. I'm having trouble finding anything that substantiates your claim. Thanks.

While I am not now nor have I ever been associated with the Tea Party, I do realize that the tea party is NOT a party, but rather a state of mind. You can't simply shut off the valve on that. The fundamentals of the tea party message will continue to resonate. Smaller limited government.

But they always nominate candidates who espouse anything but.

we can hope so.

Until they manufacture a next crisis. They ARE doing this bcs they want wall street getting its claws into 401k's and people's retirement funds.

This will NOT go over well, but billionaires don't understand the importance of retirement to most (98%) of Americans.

I think even statewide the Tea Party has poisoned the well in some cases. Individual districts for the house, I believe it is not the case and they will continue to exist because there are enough people out there who backed them.

What does that have to do with my post moonbat?

Do you deny that the tea party received funding from Murdoch and the Koch brothers or not?
