I think he has it just about right

Nah. Ted talks a good talk, biut I don't think he's up to the real thing.

[archy]

The truth will set you free...Ted is spot on.

Nope. Try Robert Heinlein.

Thanks. . . : )

What is the author’s name?

John Ross.

From John's most recent In Range essay:

For those of you who don’t know my public political history, my grandfather was Charles Ross, lifelong friend of and Press Secretary to President Harry S. Truman. I am appalled at how the Democratic Party of Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan has slowly yet inexorably been hijacked by extremist elements that want to turn America into a dismal Socialist nanny-state, with crushing debt and little promise of personal betterment for ourselves or our children.

Yes, I said the Democratic Party of Truman and Reagan. Reagan was a registered Democrat when Truman was President, but endorsed the presidential candidacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956 before formally switching to the Republican Party in 1962. He said, famously, “I didn't leave the Democratic Party. The party left me.” I wish that Reagan had remained a Democrat and prevented the Socialist disaster that developed in the following decades.
,br> The question I’d like to know right now is whether the Tea Party people consider themselves to be a part of the Republican Party, or not? Is a Tea Party candidate who is a Democrat an oxymoron, someone who would be shunned or ignored by Tea Party members, or someone they might support?

Is it time yet? Or was it time in 2008?

Perhaps not yet. But it may perhaps be time to hand out a few Benjamin Cleveland awards.

--"'Old Round About,' as Cleveland was familiarly known (taking that sobriquet from his plantation of the same name), probably had a hand in hanging more Tories than any other man in America. Though this may be an unenviable distinction, he had to deal with about as unscrupulous a set of ruffians as ever infested any land--men who murdered peaceable inhabitants, burnt dwellings, stole horses, and committed about every other act in the catalogue of crime....(1906. Ashe, Samuel. Biographical History of North Carolina, Vol. V, p. 71.)

"Is a Tea Party candidate who is a Democrat an oxymoron, someone who would be shunned or ignored by Tea Party members, or someone they might support?"

Yes, it's an oxymoron.

The Democrat party long ago took on the color of the enemy, and is in abject treason to this nation. Anyone who would still align themselves with that despicable body of degraded souls will not get my support.

If a candidate for office is so blind to the forces of this historical era, as to be a registered Democrat, they don't deserve the support of the Tea Party.

I can accept individual Democrat voters becoming active in the Tea Party. They're in the middle of a personal epiphany, and will no doubt change their party affiliation at some point.

Thanks for the ping.

The devil brigade (radical liberal elites) acting upon the Saul Alinsky deception playbook has made its mark by lying, cheating and attacking with the very hate that it accuses everybody else of harboring.

Nugent knows his liberals. Hats off to him.

[GOPJ]

Each and every conservative and liberal American who knows that we cannot spend and tax our way out of debt, who knows that an exit strategy instead of a victory strategy is the same as surrender, who knows Fedzilla is criminal in its refusal to be accountable with our hard-earned tax dollars being blowtorched with unprecedented and insane wastefulness, that a federal government suing Arizona for simply implementing constitutional law is treasonous, and who fails to communicate this with everyone we know is actually complicit with this bizarre, fundamental transformation of the greatest country in the history of humankind. What in God's good name are we thinking?

I give up - what's 'over the top'?

[Impy]

THIS sounds more like our guy....

Eh? Did he say something uncharacteristic recently?

[Marine_Uncle]

Like many here, I could have wrote that article a year and eight months ago.

[SunkenCiv]

It’s just what the doctor ordered. Thanks bitt.

[Shadowstrike]

Sorry Ted, while I agree with the majority of what you say, I, nor any of my family voted for The Pretender in Chief.

[Dead Corpse]

BTW... I'm with Uncle Ted on this one...
