Tea Party: The Tainted Kool-Aid Party?

Tea Party problems

The Tea Party powered the GOP to control of the House in 2010, but it increasingly looks like it ought to be called the Tainted Kool-Aid Party.

Consider the facts. In 2010, Democrats won Senate seats they were expected to lose after the GOP nominated a Tea Party favorite in Nevada who said Dearborn, Mich., had been taken over by “Sharia law,” and another in Delaware who had to take to the airwaves to say she was not a witch.

To a majority of Americans because of the inability to "compromise" on anything, the Tea Party has come to be considered "Unrealistic", Dangerous to the survival of the United States, And literally the Tainted Kool-Aid Party. This does not mean that the Tea party members are not sincere but it does mean that now a majority of Americans consider them to be "Idealistic and impractical" at the very least. It is sort of like how people feel about idealistic but full of enthusiasm teenagers and young adults in their 20s.

People admire their enthusiasm and worry about them because their enthusiasm is not necessarily tied yet to real life experience and pragmatism. And so, for most people, "The Tainted Kool-Aid Tea Party" actually fits. So, though we all admire their enthusiasm and what they believe they are trying to do, we may believe that what they are trying to do may destroy the United States also in the end.

So, in this sense we feel with them (like our teenagers and young adults around college graduation) but we are also afraid of them that they in their blind enthusiasm are going to accidentally kill the goose that has laid all those Golden Eggs since 1776. I think this explains the most effectively how most Americans (who are well experienced adults) actually feel about the Tea Party.
