Nope. The political power structure in Washington remained unchanged after the November 6th election.
FACT JACK.
Obama's win was just an incumbent continuing the trend of winning.
But across America, at the state and local levels power has shifted away from the Democrats to the GOP.
FACT JACK !

Gosh you are funny.

I posted the facts. You have just posted your opinion.
Again,
here are the facts:
1. The 2012 election was the perfect status quo event. On November 6 Americans by the millions went through a massive exercise of going to the polls and voting, only to awake the next morning to find that nothing had changed—other than a welcome respite from the incessant phone calls from the campaign headquarters. There was the same president, the same majority party in the House of Representatives, and the same majority party in the Senate. John Boehner was still Speaker of the House, and Harry Reid Majority Leader of the Senate. Above all, the election offered no feeling of renewal, no sense of a new direction for public policy.
2. Obama made history in 2012 almost as much as he did in 2008. For the first time, an incumbent won re-election to a second term while receiving fewer votes than in his first election. All other victorious incumbents—most recently Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush—gained electoral strength, Obama lost it.
3. The relative position of the two parties nevertheless remains very close, and the nation evenly divided. Democrats have the edge "horizontally" at the national level, while Republicans have a large advantage "vertically" at the state level. The GOP holds 30 of the 50 governors and has full control (both houses of the legislature and the governorship) in 23 states compared to 12 for the Democrats. The United States is far from being anything like a pure blue nation. Republicans have both a legitimate claim and the power to exercise a significant role in governing.
4. It is a stretch to see a robust majority coalition in 50.4% of the population, especially for an incumbent president who had all the advantages of his office, faced no competition for the nomination, had more money to spend (without fear of being accused of buying an election), and had four years to build a formidable organization.
5. At the state house level the era of Progressive politics is being dismantled in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, NJ, and now Michigan. Last night the State of Michigan put itself on track to get rid of the union closed shop rules that was choking off economic growth ! That's right, in the state that the UAW was born, unionization is being de-legislated ! All with the consent of Michigan citizens and their Tea Party representatives.
6. In North Carolina, the Governor's office and State House has historically been in Democrat control.....thanks to a coalition of conservatives (tea party, evangelicals, etc), it no longer is. The conservative GOP coalition will now control the legislative agenda in Raleigh.
7. The historic mid-term 2010 election was a Tea Party revolution that will continue at the local and state levels for decades. The GOP now has a complete majority in 23 of the 50 states. That majority is more conservative than has been for decades !
FACTS JACK !

Nobody wants to address the substance of Whirly's post. I'm not a Tea Party fan, but you libtards think that Obama's election cemented the left in power, but the statehouses belie that. As Whirly is pointing out, and you are ignoring, there is a growing undercurrent of support for conservative and libertarian principles in the state legislatures.
But I say, be happy in your ignorance. Ignore what's going on at the state level. Put all your faith and worship in Obama. You will be sitting ducks, and it will be fun to watch. Almost as much fun as your defense of Obama on ANYTHING!

Yes Whirlyturd it was. Democrats got their asses kicked. so did mainstream republicans.
It was the zenith of the tea party's meteoric rise to relevance. They're on the way down now and the 2014 elections will show an independent TP or a highly fractured GOP. Either way, US Congress and statehouses will be trending Democrat.

Again, AssUp gets his information wrong. The most recent trend confirms that the TP continues to be strong in local and state politics.

I think 2010 was the Tea Party's hey day, and I think it's clear their rise is over. You will see how they get smacked down by the mainstream GOP in this cliff/tax debate.
2014 will be the final proof the Tea Party is over.

For the nimrods; the Tea Party announced a year ago that they were pretty much going to stay out of presidential politics. The GOP would take care of that. They were going to get into state and local poliltics where they did good. We now have two TP senators (we would have had three except McCaskill cheated and Akin is a tool), the TP has retained most of their people in Congress, the TP has taken over three more state houses and two governorships. The democrats would be celebrating in the streets with such a result. Just look at today's headlines, Michigan becomes a right to work state courtesy of the Tea Party.
Sarah Palin is more popular than Marco Rubio. Nixon took eights years off before 1968 and Palin will return to beat Hillary. Palin has been building a base in Congress, the Senate, and in the states. Hillary has been carrying Obama's tainted water for four years.

Who is the writer of this op-ed piece?
First he says
Quote:
The Tea Party Is Dead. Long Live the Tea Party
|
Then turns around in the same article and says
Quote:
But none of that matters. The tea party has done its job, and for all practical purposes its hard-nosed, no-compromise ideology now controls the Republican Party in a way that neither the Birchers nor the Clinton conspiracy theorists ever did. It's no longer a wing of the Republican Party, it is the Republican Party.
|
So, which is it?
