It puts me more in mind of how southern ladies trash each other, example: "She tries so hard to be a good wife, bless her heart." In other words she sucks at it.
Is Jim Deakin really a tea party candidate, or just a plant?
In my opinion, unsubstantiated, a plant. I’ve seen him at tea parties and while other politicians who attend are sincere and nice, friendly even, I didn’t get that sense from him. I sat a couple of feet away from him at one tea party where Tom Tancredo spoke. Deakin never met my eyes, not to mention that he looks unshaven and unkempt.
I look forward to the day when someone calls him on it.
“Is Jim Deakin really a tea party candidate, or just a plant?”
JD Hayworth is the Tea Party candidate that can win. Deakin is someone who alienates most Tea Partiers. Most Tea Partiers can’t stand him and his few supporters act like rabid dogs attacking anyone who questions Deakin’s candidacy. I wouldn’t put it past McCain to pay Deakin to do what he is doing, but it’s possible that Deakin is just that stupid.
It bugs me that the media gets to label which candidates are the “tea party” candidates.
Of course, that’s partly because there is no “tea party” that has control over the label, nor would we want one.
I think the problems started when the generic reference to “tea party protests” led a few people to actually create “Tea Party” organizations.
After last night and McCain saying over and over and over again he was glad Deakin is in the race and stay in, don’t let them force you to quit, etc., that McCain is paying him to stay in.
