Yeah, the JounoLista types just keep trying to spread the theme that us crazy Tea Party supporters are going to fracture the Republican Party. How about this gag worthy part FTFA: And one 2012 Republican presidential hopeful may well seize an opportunity and run as the anti-Tea Party candidate; that used to be called a “big tent” Republican.

Talk about not getting it. An anti-Tea Party Republican would be called a "Democrat" or "RINO", for crying out loud. The Tea Party IS the big tent. These guys just don't GET IT - a whole lot of people from all incomes, races, etc., etc. don't want an unaccountable, unlimited federal government.

...

This movement is not tolerant of dissent within the ranks, which may cause some other Republican politicians indigestion. For example, this year, the Tea Party took over the Maine Republican Party convention and adopted a platform that called for imposing a 12-year term limit for senators, ending the congressional health care plan, opposing abortion and abolishing the Federal Reserve Board.

(Yes, the RINO’s do have indigestion.)

None of this is supported by the state’s three-term Republican senator, Olympia J. Snowe, who is up for re-election in 2012. She could be vulnerable to a challenge from the right in a small-turnout primary. If she became an independent, she would probably be safe for life.

(LOL! She is precisely what NORMAL people want to get rid of. The NYT does not accept the will of the people.)

And one 2012 Republican presidential hopeful may well seize an opportunity and run as the anti-Tea Party candidate; that used to be called a “big tent” Republican.

(The NYT still doesn’t understand that you cannot be all things to ALL people. It didn’t work. We are slowly but surely getting back to PRINCIPLES. Principles should never be compromised on. This is one of the largest problems with the FAILED “big tent” idea. It is the Deomcrats that compromise on NOTHING. But the NYT times is blind as usual to their Demoncrat bias.)

Mitt Romney, a presidential hopeful and former governor of Massachusetts who is always a good weather vane, is assiduously courting the group. Immediately after the Tea Party candidates Sharron Angle in Nevada and Christine O’Donnell in Delaware won upset victories in Senate primaries, Mr. Romney embraced them with campaign contributions.

Finger to the wind Romney posturing for a 2012 POTUS run.

They endanger the RINO establishment.
The NYT spends all of it’s time beating up on Republicans, but then when the voters turn around and throw the old GOP bums out, suddenly they become posterchildren for “reasonable” Republicans the NYT can work with.

“This anti-government, grass-roots Republican offshoot . . .”

Ask Bennet, Crist, Murkowski and Castle how lockstep Republican the Tea Party movement really is.

I met Al Hunt in person years ago at a CPAC. He is a nice, personable guy.

But as usual, he is drinking the Liberal Kool-Aid. Heck, he is serving it up.

How can Mitt possibly think that the journalists love him? They see through him as easily and readily as the tea partiers do.

Where in the world does Hunt get the gaul to act so authoritatively about the Tea Party movement? When was the last time in modern history that a movement like this existed?
All these predictions about short term and long term. In essence his conclusion is, the effectiveness is pretty good short term, not so effective for the long term but a thorn in the side of the Republicans. With that kind of simplified biased analysis I think Hunt is nothing more than a Progressive Democrat hack!

ROFL.

Albert wet his pants, but by golly, he managed to include almost all the players and almost all of the notable rinos up for reelection in 2012 too.

Hello Orrin Hatch. Be careful about reaching across the aisle...LOL. Even Albert Hunt has warned ya. HAR!

Notice that the NYT reprinted the article from Bloomberg News. The out-of-work RINO strategists are positioning Bloomberg as an anti-Tea Party leader.

This is just a tiny sampling of the MSM FUD that will arrive after the election.

I know you post a lot of article but do you actually read them? This one is not “garbage” even though it did come from the NYtimes. It was a pretty straight forward, articulate article on the tea party’s grand efforts this year.

You don't think the tea party is hurting the republican party? Of course it is! Isn't this the point? Taking down GOP statists? Taking down the republican establishment? Getting rid of RINO's.
Of course the Tea Party is hurting the Republican party.

With the U.S. midterm elections five weeks away, the Tea Party movement is already the big winner of 2010.

Yeah!!!
And, from the new york times.
