The antics in the past week and the antics to come should have some adverse effects, you would think…….all the vitriol should have some type of blowback….at least you would think……sports fans….it does……

America is sick of the Republican Party. Just 24% of the public has a positive view of the GOP, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll reveals. That’s the lowest in the history of the poll, which dates back to 1989. The Tea Party movement is even worse off at 21%. By contrast, 39% view Democrats favorably, about as many as view them unfavorably. The government shutdown just might be playing a role here—the GOP is taking more blame for it than President Obama by a 22-point margin (53% to 31%). At this point, 47% said they’d like to see Democrats take control of the House in 2014, compared to 39% for Republicans—a 5-point improvement for Democrats over last month. Of course, as the Hill points out, what the public really wants is a clean slate; 60% said they would replace every single member of Congress if they could.

I have heard people that dhow sympathy for the Tea Party say that all this will just make the US a better place….will it?

I think the only thing that it may accomplish is making the Dems a dominate party for the next decade…..without changing their tactics the GOP is a LOSER!

The only way they can make up the ground they have lost thanx to the TPers is for Obama and the Dems to have a major set back……I do not see that happening right now.  I am not saying that things will change for the GOP only that they need to find common ground with the voter…..something they do not seem to care about…..it seems like the country means NOTHING to them.
