No.
The Tea Party believes in The Constitution
The left does not.
Dionne doesn’t understand the Tea part, “Taxed Enough Already.” The left can’t have a Tea Party because they believe they are not taxed enough.
Problem is that the Tea Party is, by its nature, a spontaneous movement. If there were to be a left wing version, it would have already happened.
No, because they are either Commies or Commie sympathizers. They adore government. They are the “King George” of modern America.
If they try, it will no doubt come out looking like the Chicago Convention of 1968. And just as those events chased the public into the arms of Nixon, the reaction will drive the country further rightward.
No more proof needed that the Left has no understanding of Tea Party, the original Boston tea party, the Constitution how it came to be, and the meaning of all three.
*****And the media became infatuated with the Tea Party in the summer of 2009*****
I missed that - Just D@mn!
No, they can’t.
The TEA Party is a respectful, constitutional based spontaneous reaction of like minded individuals who’s anger all boils down to a reasoably simple to understand concept. Government overreach.
The Left is a conglomeration of disrespectful, unconstitutional factions which have gathered together to gain political power as a voting bloc. When the enviros protest, the unions will stay home. When the race baiters protest, the gays stay home etc...
Dionne and the Left still do not understand the TEA Party and its nature. They’re projecting themselves yet again since everything they plan and do requires “Vanguard of the Proletariat” style astroturfing. That the TEA Party is a wholly grassroots phenomenon and has not relied upon top-down direction and organizing is completely foreign to them.
Reading that wasted 47 seconds of my life that I'll never get back.
They can’t because they already have their protest groups down on Wall Street disrupting, getting arrested, and making asses out of themselves in front of the People while wasting taxpayer money putting up with their childish and selfish BS..
They have the communist party, labor unions, black panthers, you name it, already doing their bidding.
All that happens when the left gets involved is an eye opening of the people watching the anti American screed that spews out of them.
The do best when they shut up.

hey E.J., there is...700 of ‘em got arrested this weekend.
No, the author has no grasp of the differences between the RNC and the DNC.
The RNC is a party of concensus. We have little in common, other than some core beliefs. We want small goverment, low taxes and freedoms to live our lives. We each have our favorite politician, but through exercises of ‘give and take’ we reach a consensus as to which candidate more closely approximates our individual taste.
The DNC is a party of personal promotion. Consider, the Homosexual Party, Automaker’s Unions, Environmentalists and Welfare recipients all want something from the goverment, each for selfish reasons. They cannot justify their own existance financially; they depend upon the Gov’t to forcibly take money from the taxpayer, and then give it to them or to champion their cause. They are parsites - those who consume off their host, and contribute little, if anything back to the good of the host.
So, we have the Tea Party; individuals from all walks of life, across all races, backgrounds, economic strata and lifestyles - spontaneously showing up and speaking with a loud voice; for the GOOD OF THE COUNTRY.
Whereas, the left cares only about what is in the individual’s best self-interests. They are fundamentally flawed, in that they have little or no regard as to what is good for the country; they are focused on their own selfish little world.
Ding-Dong, you ever seen a patriotic, flag-waving, America-Loving left-wing rally?
Classic. The politics of envy writ large.
What is this, “movement envy”?
I thought the left were the Progressives, the ones with all the new ideas, the ones with the high-class educations, the ones who came out of our most elite schools.
I thought the left were the winners, the ones who didn’t have to worry about the knuckle-dragging throwbacks who only wanted to lynch Blacks from lampposts.
I thought the left was the party of the little guy, the working man, who rejected the clenched-up intolerance of Conservatism for the enlightenment of mankind.
Whaaaaat...?? We are going to reject all this now?
Oh, and above all, I thought the left was the party that stood up for and stayed true to its’ many principles.
The answer to that is no, because the TEA Party is an entity that backs limited government, anathema to the democrats.
But none of that matters, because in Dionne’s dutifully liberal mind, the only question about anything is... “will it please Obama.”
Yes, probably. Well, they would serve tea, BRITISH tea, to each other. They would discuss the latest in Liberal Intelligentsia Elite “thinking”, better known as the L.I.E., and of course talk about their Expert Counterculture appearences on the tabloid Main Stream Media - - - .
HEY! I believe that I am describing the present ! They already have THEIR “T.E.A.” Party and it stands for TAX ENTERPRISE AMERICA !
BTW, this is a clear admission that the Left's astroturfing attempt to replicate TEA Party anger at townhall meetings was a complete and dismal failure.
The Left could never match the Tea Party because they are pigs and do not clean up after themselves. They also are very violent and that will not go over well with folks. The left is also angry whereas the Tea Party is resolute.
