I am amused at the liberal repbublicans and demoncrats that insult the common American who is pushing this movement from the ground up calling them racist, idiots, and hucksters. It shows they are under the skin of the godless heathesn and the libs know they are going to lose.
This pretty much sums it up.
Idiot one said:
I think the Tea Party is too "out there" to survive in most general elections. I have a strong suspicion "cleaning house" is going to be "shot ourselves in the foot".
Most Americans do not want what the tea party is actually selling.
Which is why Reagn got
60% of the vote in '84. But then again, look who is talking there, one of the TOL retards who doesn't know that spontaneous generation was proven wrong by the law of biogensis.

But the Tea Party movement has been one of the most derided and minimized and, frankly, most disrespected movements in American history. Yet, despite being systematically ignored, belittled, marginalized, and ostracized by political, academic, and media elites, the Tea Party movement has grown stronger and stronger....
On April 15, 2009, in honor of Tax Day, seemingly spontaneous tax protests sprung up across the country. At the time, no one in the media or in the political elite thought that these protests were important. In fact, many said they were irrelevant. Some, ignoring the obvious, said they did not exist at all....
"[They are] evil-mongers" spreading "lies, innuendo, and rumor," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
When the elite looked, their first reaction was to say: "Well if it was real (which we really don't believe it was), it is a one-time occurrence, it is no big deal, and it is worth neither our time nor attention."
This was evidenced in the findings of an April 2010 study conducted by the Media Research Center, which found that ABC, CBS and NBC aired 61 stories or segments on the anti-spending movement over a 12-month period, and most of that coverage is recent.
"The networks virtually refused to recognize the tea party in 2009 (19 stories), with the level of coverage increasing only after Scott Brown's election in Massachusetts" in January, the report said, referring to the Republican's win of the Senate seat long held by Edward M. Kennedy.
And as liberal re-publicans lose, and a true right winger wins in 2012 (assuming one runs), it will only get worse. The insults, name calling, lies, bearing false witness, story generation will grow out of control. It will be like a Michael Moore "documentary".
