Most national Democrats have been careful to tread lightly around the tea party for fear of provoking its activists’ wrath.
Not Ed Rendell.
“There is no movement,” Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor told POLITICO when asked why in recent months he has used appearances at rallies and on television to assert that the tea party movement is hyped, extreme and lacks a basic understanding of how government works.
“The media – and not just the conservative media, the mainstream media – has made the tea party guys out to be an impactful movement, but they aren’t,” he said asserting tea party activists had little to do with Sen. Bob Bennett’s loss at this month’s Utah GOP convention and Sen. Scott Brown’s January special election win in Massachusetts.
“Sen. Bennett is not a victim of the tea party. I mean, it’s like the tea party taking credit for Scott Brown,” he said. “They were about as influential in Scott Brown’s election as I was – it’s ludicrous.”

Anybody who uses words like “impactful” is a moron.
Ed Rendell is dumb.
Just keep pushin’, idiot.
(Not meant for you personally, Tribune)
Blah, blah, blah, blah blah
Blah blahs from the ‘know-it-all’ leftist help the TEA movement.
“Sen. Bennett is not a victim of the tea party. I mean, it’s like the tea party taking credit for Scott Brown,” he said. “They were about as influential in Scott Brown’s election as I was – it’s ludicrous.”
OKAY... So you’re saying that the voters would have shown the libs the door even without the tea party? Yes that seems to be what he’s saying. The Dems are toast in any event.
this is GREAT!
Every time they make statements like this and Pelosi’s astroturf one.. it fires me up all over again!
Fast Eddie is trying to get attention. Just another narcissist latching on to the TEA movement....like a kid running into the street to be a part of the Rose Bowl Parade.
Let’s stop posting threads on these nincompoops. LOL!!!
Hey, if I was an idiot I could be governor!!!
I reckon that the Tea Party movement's very existence is based on understanding *exactly* how the current government "works", and doesn't like it one bit ... Fast Eddie may have slipped his tongue with that ludicrous statement
tea party movement is hyped, extreme and lacks a basic understanding of how government worksWe have a perfect understanding of how government should work. Which is why we're kicking so many incumbents out of office.
Too bad for Fast Eddie that the Tea Party “platform” matches the sentiments of the majority of the voters in nationwide polling time and time again....
But nooooooo, it has no bearing on why the Rats are losing elections LOL
Or... a Supreme Court nominee!! Ah, hell, anybody connected to Blowbama...
I want to hear the first interview after his next election.
RENDELL is a Political Hack and Whore who has No Morals, Ethics or Character!! But one thing he doesn’t lack is the ability to shoot his mouth off continuosly without ever being right or telling the truth! Just a few years ago, Rendell was going to sell the Pennsylavania Turnpike for just over the pawtry sum of $ 1 Billion Dollars! Ostensibly because a Private Owner could run it more efficiently, now he is all for turning Us into an ISLAMIC CALIPHATE, the 58th in The Republic of ISLAM! The POS has Trashed PA.during his term of Governor just as he trashed PHILLY as it’s Mayor. And remember he was Clintoon’s Go-To Crook to run the DMC! Rendell isn’t worth his weight in Schuykill River Sludge!!
The Romans did not know that their era of dominance was coming to an end, either. They discounted all the outside forces just like Fast Eddie.
