No mercy to the Tea Party

[Alekei_Firebird]

Obama and Co. need to make examples out of them. They should reward people like Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, and any other Republican who publicly advocates moderation and cooperation.

But the likes of Jim DeMint and Mitch McConnell need to be eviscerated. Go after them, and their siblings, and their children, and their friends...

I have no sympathy for the Tea Party, and I don't want them treated humanely.

1. "humanely"? isn't that a bit too much? :)

The election really kicked the crap out of teabag philosophy. I think one repub commenter made note of how at least 5 seats were lost because of corporate-led teahaddists.

I in no way think unusual cruelty is the way to go on this one.

2. Maybe not their children.

But yes, let Republicans know that there are rewards for moderation, and asskickings for those who dig in their heels.

3. Call them what they are extremists and

continue to refudiate their dangerous hate speech.

4. On the other hand

I would be delighted to see the Tee Partee take over the GOP. The more rightward they go, the better. I want Dems taking everything including the state congresses so we can fix the gerrymandered districts right!

5. make it a real tea party

toss em in the harbor

6. Agreed

Democratic Super PACs should begin targeting their seats as of today.

They want Citizens United? They got it.

They will have no support for the foreseeable future, as the GOP Super Pacs have been completely destroyed by the Obama election, and nobody will give money for quite some time. Who's going to cut Crossroads a check anytime within tht enext two years? Nobody, that's who.

Top twenty Tea Party reps: they need to be voted out in 2014. Let's begin building the base in their communities that will send them packing!

8. Just completely and utterly humiliate them

Even when they're 20% behind their Democratic opponents, mercifully bombard them with ads.

7. While Obama & Co. are going at it, so should we.....

every where you get an opportunity, IRL, social media, newspaper comments.

There is NO place for extremism and it is completely unacceptable.

It won't be easy, they may be extremists but they think they have God on their sides, they also think they are in a majority and appear to sport a bit of white folks privilege swagger.

Don't believe me, just visit your local news' website, look for the Fox News talking points.
