“Tea Party” will be more of the same and worse

About the only Tea Party candidate that is broadly known that I take seriously is Rand Paul, and that largely on account of his father.  I suspect this is a case where genius has skipped a generation.  I take him seriously as a Tea Party candidate, not so much for his views.    I.e. he really believes that stuff as opposed to being a rank opportunist.

You have to distinguish between the Tea Party itself vs. people that are running for office that identify as being “Tea Party” candidates.   The candidates have been in large part shown to be politically experienced to the extent of having held or run for other offices.

That horrible Angle woman in Nevada is probably the most evil person in America that isn’t a serial killer, although I may be making a big assumption there.  Almost everything she has said is hateful and she has come dangerously close to the line where a person should be prosecuted for suggesting armed insurrection.

Christine O’Donnell is a fraud that has consistently lied about her qualifications and in a relatively stupid and easily falsifiable manner.  She approaches the election as little more than a reality T.V. contestant who will do anything to get airtime.  She realizes that the more extreme she gets, the more airtime she gets.  So among other things she believes that rapists should have greater reproductive rights than their victims.  She should go join the Taliban.

Then there is this guy: http://www.wibw.com/nationalnews/headlines/106531728.html

Using a voice double of a prominent and popular Democrat and stating on the record that he has endorsed your campaign, only retracting the claim on election day so that most voters will only hear about the retraction after they have voted, is appallling.

So much for “Tea Party” candidates bringing truth and honesty to Washington.

The hangover effect of all of this is that before long the people that thought they were electing someone that stood for Tea Party principles [as lightweight as those are], will find in a lot of cases that they have been manipulated by a political cockroach into voting based on being told what they wanted to hear.   In most cases I think that the voters will find that all they are doing is voting more cockroaches into the public cereal box.

Of course the big beneficiary of all this is likely to be Obama 2012.    The older brand of cockroach was more cunning and elliptical.  The new Republican cockroaches are from the “Reality TV” generation and most of them make the borderline retarded Bush Jr. look sauve and sophisticated by comparison.  The first thing that comes into their head comes out.  They peaked two years early and now they have two years to hang themselves, and they will do it.
