You're kidding, right? The GOP is the most lax, lame and progressive it's ever been. If you want rigid, you're in the right place. The DNC won't work with the GOP. Can you say Obamacare? Not a single R vote.
Yeah I remember that, and I remember what the TYT said would happen.
"Republicans will water it down........and then vote against it."
Which was exactly what happened.
And I love how the GOP get votes for being partisan and obstructionist, when the Democrats lose points for being partisan, and not-obstructionist.
I remember after the 2012 election a lot of old school GOP members said the Republican Party needed to do some "soul searching" and become less radical over their social issues. Don't see that happening.
Those are the only two things tea party voters care about
Why is it when the democratic party is on the outs, you don't hear the call for them to be more like the republican's to make people vote for them? It's always the republicans that are suppose to change, give up their principles and throw in the towel. This is getting to be funny....sort of.
the infamous government tax agency has taken it to whole new levels by harrassing conservative individuals and organizations to silence them.
The Tea party.. why do so many non rich people support a political sect who is against rich people and only rich people from being taxed? Their only stance for anything is bible, guns, and lower taxes[for rich people]. For some reason the combination of these things do not make any sense to me.That's cause you were sold a false narrative by the people you trust to give you the news and you really should stop believing the propaganda from leftwing media outlets and the DNC.
The fact of the matter is that, income tax...
I do not favor the Republican party making some special effort to "appeal to moderates," or to blacks, women, Hispanics, men, whites, "the poor," "the rich," or any other faction. I want them to hold to some basic core principles, which for me include being Pro-Life and Constitutionalists. If they are such spineless pansies that they're going to abandon such things in order to garner a few more votes, then for me and many of "the base," there is no meaningful difference between them and Democrats, and we won't bother supporting or voting.
If that means the party is doomed, then good riddance. Let the libs run the country into Gehenna. Destruction is a good teacher for those who survive.
That both parties have been so successful vilifying the Tea Party is genuinely disturbing inasmuch as the Tea Party is a grass roots efforts by a lot of average people of disparate backgrounds in disparate locations in America who want their government returned to them and functioning iaw the Constitution. And that's all the "Tea Party" is.
That there are people who have swallowed hook-line-and-sinker the propaganda of the DC careerist elites and view the Tea Party precisely the way they intend is alarming - and ought to be alarming to everyone who values this nation or their freedom.
The Tea Party isn't perfect, and by comparison to the DC careerist elites, who are portraying it as little more than a bunch of unsophisticated hicks, it's a rag-tag collection of disparate groups that don't enjoy the faux legitimacy the DC careerist elites have built for themselves.
By definition they are going to make mistakes. By definition they are going to be disorganized and struggle to present an appearance of unity. They need leadership. They need everything the DC careerist elites are striving so hard to deny them - but if this country is going to dig itself out of the mire it's created for itself by allowing a handful of elites to take it over, it will need the Tea Party and other groups like it to make that happen.
The only thing in decline in this sense is our freedom and our Constitution that guarantees our freedom - both of which are under active assault by the powers that be, regardless the letter that appends their high and lofty names.
It was watered down because Obama, Reid, Pelosi couldn't get enough DEMOCRATS to vote for it, they didn't need a single Republican vote, and they didn't want any Republican input to begin with.

Who's assaulting the Constitution? And how are they assaulting it, exactly?
-- A2SG, after all, simply disagreeing with the way you interpret it isn't an "assault" on the Constitution itself, is it?
Anyone, such as the President, or Dianne Feinstein, who claims that the Constitution is "negative" and needs to be changed, and that the second amendment is something they'd like to see repealed (and have introduced bills to accomplish this), is someone who is assaulting the constitution.
Ted Cruz is assaulting the Constitution, by your definition, with his proposed amendment.

So using the process the creators of the constitution lined out to amend the constitution is an attack on the constitution?
How is augmenting the 10th Amendment of the Constitution an assault on the Constitution?
