Ping! ;)

[FlingWingFlyer]

I guess Obama, Pelosi and Reid are “mainstream”. ROTFL!!! Yeah! Right!

[a fool in paradise]

The general party line says the tea party is fringe, but I think most of the public hasn't bought that point of view

It's the "general party line" of what Party? Party of the first part or party of the second part?

[screaminsunshine]

Amazing. The MSM is busy insulting half the country. The Democrats are screwing the rest and they think they can win.

[hinckley buzzard]

Forty-four percent of Americans now see the upstart "tea party" movement in a favorable light

No wonder the 'rats have been unsuccessful scaring off the "mainstream." At 44% favorable, the Tea Party IS the mainstream."

“… and I think it’s coming back to haunt them.””

Here’s hoping it comes back like the wolfman to rip their friggin throats out!

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Before November, they will come out of the closet for America!

"The overarching message here is that Democrats have been in denial about the tea party [phenomenon] … and I think it's coming back to haunt them."

'Astroturf' leaves one heck of a rug burn.

Tea Party Is Polarizing...

Yeah, not like that wonderful Barack Obama, who follows every Rule of Alinsky except the one about polarizing your target.

[scory]

I love the stuff about “polarizing”. As if taking any stand on a political question is rarely polarizing.

Of course the Tea Party is polarizing. These people are taking a very strong stand on a number of issues. If they didn’t the Tea Party would be of no more significance than a garden party.

[paulycy]

Polarizing? Polaraizing whom against whom????

BS. Meaningless blabber.

[GonzoGOP]

"The overarching message here is that Democrats have been in denial about the tea party [phenomenon] … and I think it's coming back to haunt them."

The establishment wants to force us to be divided into red and blue. But the secret is that the red pill and the blue pill all lead to the same place, just at different speeds. I choose yellow.

[DouglasKC]

Yeah, but Obama is NEVER polarizing.

[SaveTheChief]

What's polarizing is a government that believes the only solution to serious problems is to pass legislation, restrict liberties, spend money on entitlement programs, and risk collapsing the system in spite of the pleading of the American people. The Tea Party movement HAPPENED only because the people are awakening to the fact that the leadership offered by the government is the kind of leadership that sends the entire nation off the edge of a cliff.

When governments fail to protect the people and instead work hard to ensure national suicide, patriots step up and do everything they can to set things right.

[Danae]

Something to note:

The Tea Party’s numbers are BETTER than Obummers.

A LOT better

CAN THEY HEAR US NOW???

[KarlInOhio]

'Tea party' is polarizing,

Polarized lenses reduce the glare and make vision much clearer.

[FrankR]

"'Tea party' is polarizing, but has many 'closet admirers,' poll finds"

Of course, it's polarizing; it wouldn't be much of a movement if it wasn't.

But then the left calls anything that stands in its way of total global domination, "polarizing".

The TPM doesn't really do anything that American patriots haven't done for the past 200 years; stand for freedom and the Constitution. But the new "progressives" see those two things alone as a total denial of their quest of running the world.

The MSM has worn the covers off its Thesaurus trying to find new words to use in villianizing the TPM; they've claimed racism where none exists; they've claimed violence when none has occurred, and they've even tried the long shot of "sedition".

But, like the signs in front of a lot of elementary schools in the nation, "Today's Word is: 'polarizing'." Can you say "polarizing"? "I knew you could.".

That's silly, but that is what the democrat party has left the far left bring them down to...trite silliness.

Every time we let the children use the car, we have to get it out of the ditch they run it into. Everytime the GOP has to come in an be the National clean-up crew like some dutiful father paying off their children's excesses.

But children recruit children and frat boys hire former frat boys, and so goes the democrat party...they will never achieve adulthood. The ones who fall by the wayside are those who sit and wait for entitlements.

This country wasn't founded by children, it was founded FOR our children to provide a place for them to grow up and enjoy freedom and prosperity, based on their will to work for their piece of the pie.

If "polarizing" is defined as demanding the rule of law, The Constitition, and freedom to pursue the American dream, then I'm all for it.

But if we need a good example of "polarizing", well, just look at our "post racial" president...the Liar-in-chief.

“The overarching message here is that Democrats have been in denial about the tea party [phenomenon] … and I think it’s coming back to haunt them.”

What could they have done? They are leftists. They are unable to support Tea Party goals.

Of course, they could just lie.

“I’m a tea partier from way back.” Barry Sotero, 2012.

“I invented the tea party.” Al Gore, 2012.

“I’m amazed at what a great tea-partier Obama is. It makes my leg tingle.” Chris Matthews, 2012.

“One day, Bill and I were tea-partying when . . .” HRC, 2012.

“The House minority caucus just loves tea time.” Nancy Pelosi, 2012.

“This authentic memo is made from the ashes of tea-partiers that George Bush burned up just for fun.” Dan Rather, 2012.

“Everything is all George Bush’s fault.” Barry Sotero, 2048.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

IOW, the Tea Party represents the majority of Americans, who are simply to afraid to admit their leanings because the Tea Party has been smeared by Democrats and the media.
