Is the Tea Party losing its oomph?

[Inchante]

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.

It is true. Too many people in the Republican party want to elect "the person they most relate to"; in other words, the person they want to have a beer with instead of the person who is the most qualified and has the most intelligent policy plans.

And yes, what ever happened to the Lincoln Douglas debates. People actually talking in-depth about the issues the country faces. Now it is just finger pointing and empty, token phrases meant to energize the Republican base. Granted, Democratic debates these days look like that too.
