As we all know, initially there was no official Tea PARTY. Those, of both main political parties, as well as independents and others, who joined in the peaceful demonstrations and rallies last year adopted the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) slogan. This involved into becoming called Tea Partiers, ala then the movement became known as Tea Party. From the beginning of this grass roots movement the Liberals and Democrats couldn't accept that Americans of all political ideals could participate in a joint movement and so they had to characterize them as far right wing, fringe element Republicans.

What the Democrat politicians never wanted to acknowledge was that when their politicians criticized the movement, they were/are finding fault with many of their own Democrat party.

However, I really don't believe the Dems are afraid of them. I think they are trying to brand and antagonize those who are part of the TEA movement on purpose. The goal of these politicians who blame the so called "Tea Party" is so that these like thinking people become a more closely knit unit in order to be protective of themselves and ideas and thwart off the offenses flung at them. And, of course, it is working since very soon the members had their own leaders, and candidates whom they supported. This is just what the Dems want because they feel that the GOP stands to suffer the worst losses of voters and by splitting the GOP, Democrat candidates and policies will win.

That is why the Democrat politicians who spew such hateful attacks laced with inappropriate language and name calling are always in the news. They have taken up the charge on purpose, probably have been told to do so by the authorities in the Dem Party. And the ones selected to do this are the old fools , like Kerry, Dean, and Reid who have been around Washington a long time and have already established a reputation for saying stupid things and behaving in an abrasive manner. Each party has members like that...the ones they select to go out and blow the horns and scare or criticize people.

Yep, it is a plot that drives them, IMHO, and not fear. The Dems are trying hard to destroy the GOP. So, by giving the TEA partiers the benefit of being considered an actual, official, established political party Dems feel the GOP will be split and weakened. The tactic is called Divide and Conquer.

As we all know, initially there was no official Tea PARTY.

I wish people would stop playing into the TEAT Party hands...

There is no "initially" about it. It is still a loose association of working citizens of all parties promoting and supporting an idea.
The instant that it becomes a clone of the Dims or the RINOs, the Alinskis and "progressives," the Obamas and the SOROS machine have won.

The value of the TEA party philosophy, and its strength, is that there is no "leadership," or "spokesmen" that speaks for us.

The philosophy is an idea, and so long as it remains an idea, it is invulnerable.

TEA and conservativism are first cousins and it is driving the TEAT Party further into insanity.

Let's keep it that way.
