looks like the teaparty message has been set to self destruct. what many of us have been predicting for a long time has finally happened. they've been defunded by the Koch bros and now Karl Rove has created a PAC to finish them off.
has this whole far right thing led to an untenable long term position for the republican party? are the Ralph Reed wackos finally going to wake up to the fact that badly they've been badly misused yet again? or, are they going to indulge in a whole lot of cognizant dissonance? well they do have a lot of practice at that. or, are they going to get very angry at how they're being systematically frozen out of the political conversation? will the turn coating cause a backlash that will weaken the republican party long term? or is this just another blip that will disappear in short memories?

"The Tea Party is aware of it. Tea Party affiliated sites such as World Net Daily and Breitbart are all viewing this move as a direct attack on the Tea Party. And they should. The established GOP wants their votes, but does not want their ideas. They have been eliminated from leadership positions, had their bills ignored, and effectively have been ostracized from the party.
Yet still, the Tea Party leadership refuses to accept reality, that they are not welcome in the Republican Party. They were a convenient method to get votes in 2010, but now that the GOP has gotten what they wanted, they have no intention of keeping them around. So long as the Tea Party stays with the Republican party, their movement will be nothing but puppets on Karl Rove’s strings."
