This was not a good strategy as it makes the tea party look like extremists in mainstreams eye and the libs they sought to ostracize are seen as righteous.

The experienced colleagues warned the greenhorns about it but they took the gamble anyway.

The tea party needs to consult with objective professional strategists before making big decisions. Presently, they need to end this ASAP before more damage is done and come up with something to take the attention off their repeal of obamacare. Otherwise, that’s what will be remembered by the mainstream with the media starting to focus on republicans signing up for obamacare:

Just declare a principled victory and acquiesce for the patriotic sake of the country while creating a new bill as an anti-obamacare platform for next year (e.g. individual mandate bill of rights). Repealing obamacare never had a prayer of a chance similar to their slanted opinion of the Romney polls last year. It was more desperation than strategy and it shows. This is going to have a long lasting effect on them unless they figure a way out of this mess quickly. They believe a lot of gop v**ers failed to show last year – it can get worse. It is splitting the GOP:

I'm not so sure. They can underestimate the media that is bent against them anyway. Mainstream dislike obamacare, taxes and NSA but very few want to shut down over it. The shutdown drama took the focus off easy cherry picking of fubars that come with government running anything.
