Four years ago it was non stop Tea Party. We had Palin and Death Panels. The Tea Party complained constantly how Obamacare stole $500 billion from their Medicare. I was getting a robo-call every day. Palin went on a rant about Death Panels and the Tea Party ate it up. Now with "Death Panels" coming back the Tea Party and Sarah Palin are silent. Did it dawn suddenly on the Tea Party that spending other peoples money -$200 billion to extend a few seniors life by a couple of months might be excessive. Maybe finally fiscal conservatism finally hit the Tea Party in the face? I doubt it though since most love military spending.
Now we have a Sarah Palin Clone in Iowa. Joni Ernst bragged about castrating hogs when she was growing up and looked like a Sarah Palin clone wanting to kick 15 million people off the ACA and Medicaid. But now she has grown strangely silent on castrating hogs and is baking cookies.
Now we have Trey Gowdy who was supposed to be the greatest thing since bottled beer for the Tea Party except he sounded bi-partisan during the first Benghazi hearing. Which leads me to the old Tea Party phrase "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." As Tea Partier do you think the Republicans will be able to pull the wool over enough peoples eyes before the election.
Have you thought about what is going to happen to the GOP in 2016?
You can bet the party has... and it's making them ill.
They are probably thinking can we keep being a bunch of raving lunatics or actually become a governing party? Kind of hard after four years of being lunatics. The silence over Death Panels so far is deafening. The typical Tea Party type who posts here thinks $16 billion in ACA subsidies to low income people is much worst than $240 billion of Medicare subsidies much of which goes to people like Dick Cheney with a million dollar heart transplant. Lets steal from the poor and give to the rich...maybe its finally soaking in for the Tea Party types.

They don't have to. Why over work the crowd, when the Democrats are doing a good job, sinking themselves.
Actually the opposite has been occurring, with nate silver showing that as we get closer to the elections its looking less likely that Republicans will gain control of both houses.
