Nothing sets the chattering class to chattering quite like that exotic and excitable clan, the Tea Party.
Dismissed by turns as faux rabble-rousers and dangerous lunatics, this strange species of tax-loathing citizens continues to baffle and infuriate the national media and political elite -- left and right.
Some evidence has recently emerged to warm the hearts of those who would like to see the Tea Party fade into irrelevancy. A June Washington Post/ABC News poll, for example, shows popular support for the Tea Party, if not collapsing, then certainly taking a hit, with 50 percent reporting an "unfavorable" view of the movement, up from 39 percent in a previous survey.
And yet, somehow, Tea Party-supported candidates continue to enjoy electoral success, confounding liberals to the core. As Charles Babingon, writing for the Associated Press admits, the Tea Party may be experiencing "growing pains," but nevertheless "still wields remarkable powers to shape the Republican Party," as the recent primary victories of Sharron Angle in Nevada, Nikki Haley in South Carolina, and Paul LePage in Maine amply demonstrate.

He may be talking about those folks who are trying/tried to establish a TEA (capital P), official political party, and not about the TEA party movement.
The left still doesn't get it; their preponderence to "groupthink" won't show them the mindset conception of the TEA party movement. The difference being, democrats have to form a party and be brainwashed into thinking alike...the TEA party movement is people who already think alike from individual deduction and common sense, banding together to show solidarity and to get this country back on the right track.
We're such an excitible "clan", aren't we?

Matt, you keep thinking what your thinking right up until the time we decide to deport you to your intrinsically justified homeland - out of this country.

These are revolutionary times, complete with an increasing radicalized middle class. If the economy goes deeper into the doo-doo next year, civil war may break out.

Maybe before then if obozo gets the idea he can kill the elections by inciting it and then imposing martial law (and get away with it).
