"...two Tea Party–backed candidates, Todd Akin in Missouri and Richard Mourdock in Indiana, did much to keep the GOP from taking control of the Senate, losing races a more moderate Republican should have easily won. And in the House,at least 10 of the Tea Party Republicans swept in during the 2010 election were swept out, including movement stars Joe Walsh (Ill.) and (pending a possible recount) Allen West (Fla.). Even Rep. Michele Bachmann barely kept her seat. "The Tea Party is over."
"After Tuesday's rout, it's pretty clear that "the wave has crested for the birther, Bircher, Tea Party types," says Phil Perrier at The Huffington Post. The core of the movement — older white people — are becoming ever more electorally irrelevant, and Tea Partiers' ugliness toward President Obama backfired. It turns out that "though loud and obnoxious, the Tea Party never had the numbers or the power that the media gave them credit for. Now they have very little indeed."
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith
Yup they are done!! The real conservatives are in the minority and are a thing of the past. Their platform and ideology is clearly not the platform nor the ideology of the majority of americans. The reps have to either take on the liberal progressive's platform and ideology or bow out....no other choice.
The GOP is now between a rock and a hard place. They would look foolish to buck the liberal progressive obama administration's direction. The majority support the liberal progressive agenda....and the GOP has no choice but to cave.

I agree, the Tea Party is done. Well, the co-opted Republican Tea Party is done. The Original 2007 Tea Party is growing. As usual though, it will never be televised, so it doesn't exist.
