Is the Tea Party losing its oomph?

[Lunar]

I grow tired of most of the Republican politicians. It's a pathetic popularity contest and the media feeds into the hysteria. Debates are no longer debates, but arguments over 'who said what about who'. I find myself annoyed with the Republic candidates.

Romney wants to rule an Empire
Santorum is a gay basher in particular, and whines about everything
Gingrich is an arrogant SOB
and Ron Paul makes the most sense, but he won't be elected because people think he's too old and radical.

I feel like the Tea Party was infiltrated from the beginning with Politicians claiming their piece of the pie. This hurts the credibility of the movement.

But we must continue voting for the second best, right
