Interesting post on PoliticsUSA.
I'm a big supporter of giving Palin the nomination in 2012. The Tea Party needs to see that, just as they fared terribly in statewide swing state elections last week (and please, stop taking credit for Marco Rubio), they will never be the primary impetus behind a presidential winner. Fiscal responsibility is fine, but as many of us predicted, so many pushers of divisive fringe issues (immigration, guns, abortion) have glommed onto the Tea Party movement that there's just no focus anymore.
The Tea Party is the equivalent of a lot of those anti-war rallies during the Bush administration - it's a bunch of unfocused, extremist hotheads blowing off steam. Sure, they helped the Democrats win some races, but look what it got the Democrats in the end. The GOP will await a similar fate if it doesn't learn from the past.
When you all are done pretending that you’ve matured, done repositioning yourselves as sane and moderate, and done denouncing the very person you sold America on when it served your purposes, you know you need to get out the dirt. You did it to John McCain, and he’s still sucking the mud off of your toes, so you know you can. You know you will.
It’s unclear what’s more reprehensible here, your use and abuse of Sarah Palin or your cynical exploitation of America. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no Sarah fan. But unlike you all, I do have a heart. And you know she’s too ignorant and too narcissistic to see what’s coming. Your lack of compassion for her mental illness is disheartening.
But not as dismaying as your lack of care for this country.
You will never live down your attempt for two years to shove Sarah Palin down the throats of innocent Americans, using her to sell your extremist obstructionism and then tossing her aside when she outlasted her usefulness. It’s a disgusting game you play.
If she beats you, it will be a tragic moment for America but part of me will smile. After all, you deserve it.

Really? How many fingers would it take to count Democrat TEA party candidates?
