MY PREDICTION IS COMING TRUE

The prediction was for a short life of tea bagging. That most people voted with their guts, the general malaise that accompany's hard times, and now are having serious buyer's remorse. Americans do not like extremists. The people who ran on the tea party's energy have turned out to be bad for the tea party's interests. Extremists who merely obstruct and will not work with consensus.

I have always been amazed about how many of the tea party people voted against their own interests. Disgruntled oldsters voting against Medicare as a case on point. Or voting for rank amateurs who have no experience governing. The know nothing approach.

Then there are the people who vote ideologically for vague principles. When their choices get to Washington, they are often surprised that they are expected to know facts and to vote on bills that are substantive.

Mostly, there are a lot of people who have made money out of the tea party and there hasn't been a payoff.

Americans do not like dogmatism. They do not like ideology. They want consensus.

And so on.

The tea was very weak actually. And didn't taste very good.
