More stupidity from the party of the ass. The Tea Partiers and so-called moderates are one of the same. So when Dems attack Tea Partiers as far-right kooks they're attacking everybody opposed to their socialist agenda.

The Dems are just following the conservative purist’s dream. Divide the right, and win.

I’m on the side of the Tea Partiers.

I am not interested in political parties or their socialist agendas, I am more interested in our elected officials going back to being public SERVANTS and following the Constitution.

CUT THE SALARIES, PERKS & TIME ALLOWED TO SERVE FOR CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT NOW!!!

exactly... they still don’t understand, and we don’t want to understand, that the Tea Party movement was a total grass roots movement of normal folks who were fed up to their eyeballs with these people in the White House and Reid and Pelosi. There is nothing to divide, because we are them.. moderates are them.. they somehow think we are the right wing militia or something.

The counter strategy: ask the opponent “are you a democrat?” and when he answers “yes” say “See!? I told you he was a communist!”

Democrats fear Brown's victory in Massachusetts could signal a bloodletting in the November midterm elections as voters, filled with populist rage over the Wall Street bailouts and high unemployment, take their anger and frustration out on incumbents.

Who wrote this paragraph, Barky Obama?

No, they still haven't figured out what's going on.

This will be a little hard to do considering the “Tea Party” doesn’t consider itself at “One” with the GOP. Witness the primaries against established Republican choices. If anything the “Tea Party” is looking to take over the GOP, not be allies or worse subservient to them.

I do have to laugh at how suddenly they think they understand who makes up the movement when only a month ago they were dissmissing participants as astroturf. Fringe. Etc.

Exactly. What I want most out of elected officials is humility and honesty. Serve, and then go do something useful with your life. I think we give way too much stature not only to those elected to office, but to the offices they hold as well. I don’t think we should hold any elected office, even the Presidency, with particular reverence. Unless it is a national emergency I don’t think television should ever give any elected official, including the President free air time. Making elected officials into celebrities just attracts narcissists to public life.

the Dems would have you believe that tea partiers are all followers of Lew Rockwell. Most of them are ordinary folks just tired of debt debt debt

We need to pay some attention to this particular tactic, not for its questionable brilliance, but for the manner in which it will be implemented. It is not only a Bin Laden like directive for their minions, to infiltrate and disrupt every conversation and social network, but it is a clear template that will be repeated in the media through the election. The red herring of attack on Sarah Palin for her “support” of John McCain is their first major volley. We have to stay on message and not be afraid to argue about issues over people.

Our greatest weapon is their inability to rein in their behavior and to make arguments based on the issues rather than personal attacks. This should provide some great sport.

Yea! LOL!

They’re preachly darkly against teabaggers - to teabaggers.

Pretty hard to fight your enemy when you don’t know who he/she is.

It worked so well for Martha Coakley.

I think they should make Keith Olbermann their spokesman. That’s the ticket.

The Democrats think they can get away with anything as long as the MSM covers for them. The MSM didn't cover the large rallies in D.C. and what town rallies they covered they made the people there look like kooks. That has made things even worse for the Dems. The internet, talk radio, and Fox News has made the masses more informed about the issues than they use to be. Most of the leaders in the Democrat Party still have no clue as to what happened. They're in for a ass whipping this fall. The people are pissed.

Heaven forbid they articulate a clear agenda to give people a reason to vote FOR them.
