(snip) It can move forward things in a good way. I think the tea party is going to have to look at itself, Noonan added. Its been so helpful to the Republican Party in the past. It saved it by not going third party in 2010, helping the Republicans sweep the House. But the tea party style of rage is not one that wins over converts and makes people lean towards them and say, I want to listen to you. I think a friendly persuasion has to begin now from the Republican Party to people of the United States.

Who said anything about waiting. Start today recruiting and training the next candidates for whatever election. All I’m asking is that could we at least set some kind of minimal standard for intelligence. It doesn’t do anyone good to send out babbling morons as our standard bearers. We have sunk real low when expecting candidates for high office to be highly intelligent is controversial.
On election eve Brit Hume was basically calling the race at 8:00 pm and saying that social conservatives had kept Romney in a box and cost him the race.
I thought ‘Raging Against the Machine” was a good thing.
You are so right, Peggy. I’ll just go back to knitting tea cosies while the constitution is trampled into the dust.

Perhaps our problem is that we aren't crazy enough, so the Crazocrats are winning over all the insane people.
Probably because the only "examples" she could come up with are such obvious false-flag operations that she knows she won't get away with using them, so she simply smears the Tea Party and moves on.
The hatred for the Conservatives comes from every corner. There is a condescending tone in every comment coming from those who want us to shut up and take it.
Not going to happen... they have gone way over the line. They don’t realize they have voted in their own demise as well. They would go down with the ship rather than save the country. For revenge.
Britt Hume seems more and more like a RINO. There was a time he seemed like a straight shooter
The problem with this is that the Romney campaign was all friendly persuasion and no rage, and it didn’t win. I just think the country is screwed no matter what. The American people have changed.
Holding a passionate commitment to the defense of our Constitution...
....the representative republic founded upon it....
.... the way of life we have enjoyed for 237 years....
....Even this beautiful homeland in which we dwell...
...as has been necessary from time-to-time since 1812
Hon...
It's called patriotism.....
loyalty....
...love of country...
Get a grip..
...darlin'
I think that as long as Nooner has a column in the WSJ, I’m going to let my subscription run out. I don’t want to hear from any more liberal morons - I want to hear from realists. She ain’t a realist.
Everyone thinks they know what it takes to win people to their side. In our culture it mostly involves figuring out how to avoid offending everyone. I have a suggestion: Try truth. Try acquiring a few principles and sticking to them. Try forgetting about how the message sounds and simply sound the message.
Yes you will offend people...truth always does. But this nation is starved for truth tellers. Resist the temptation to fashion and mold your message like playdough so that it slides easily into everyone’s ears. Forget about polls and advisers and hand-wringers. I truly believe that an office-seeker with this attitude will win elections.
Will no one take away this stupid woman’s keyboard?
Why would anyone listen to this cow’s mewling??? - her admiration for what a swell president Obama would make in 2008 helped legitimize his candidacy with moderates and lead to his election - she is more responsible than any ten tea partiers put together for the situation were’re in today.....
Noonan was gone from the news for a couple years after the disastrous 2008 election. She needs to go away again permanently FOREVER!! She hated the Tea Party then and she still does.
Yes, Peggy, you really are irrelevant.
On election eve Brit Hume was basically calling the race at 8:00 pm and saying that social conservatives had kept Romney in a box and cost him the race
I was disgusted with Hume and switched to FBN
Lou Dobbs was furious and could not understand why the GOPe
put such a strangle hold on the Tea Party’s neck and he described it as choking the LIFE out of what has been a good and honorable movement at such a dangerous time in America.
He was devastated.
Lou Dobbs gets it.
“But the tea party style of rage”
What rage? I’ve never seen it. You’re a lying bitch.
