ICED TEA updated

Beginning of the end of the tea party movement?

This is a thumbsucker article but it does have some basis.

The baggers are toting up bigger disapprovals just as some of their stars are getting a little spotlight time.

Harry Reid's opponent in Nevada is a gift that keeps giving. She will repeal social security and, well, a lot of things. It is a gift for Reid who was seen to have a tough time of it. Not now.

And the Tea Party, whatever and wherever it is, surprisingly, still stays as amorphous and disorganized. There are tussles for power among the various leaders.

There was also a notable absence of outrage, pillage and barbaric acting out at the recess meetings held by congress people this past break.

That's the thing about outrage without any balancing thought. It burns out early and hard.

"Who could have predicted that a cranky, leaderless movement with no real goals and driven mostly by an inchoate sense of persecution, aggrievement, and Sarah Palin hero worship would eventually turn in on itself and splinter into a thousand embittered little pieces?"
