A small group of willful men and women who have a certain ideology about how our country should run and what we should do cannot get their way in a normal discourse and votes, First Tom, it is a LARGE number.
Second, it's called the fu****g Constitution of the United States of America. You should read it sometime. It makes perfect sense.

A small group of willful men and women who have a certain ideology about how our country should run and what we should do cannot get their way in a normal discourse and votes, Harkin said. Since they cant get their way theyre going to create this confusion and discourse and hope the public is so mixed up in who to blame for this that perhaps theyll blame both sides. So now it has come to this. The founding principles of the United States of America are some "certain ideology". The signers of the Declaration of Independence were barking in the wind, but that didn't stop them from doing the right thing.
That is the path they see for taking over the government. Its dangerous, very dangerous.
Every bit as dangerous as the break up and the Civil War.
It's not "taking over the government", the Democrats are already trying to do that through "fundamentally transforming". It's simply returning the government to its Constitutionally chartered limitations.
One thing he does have right (ya know, stopped clock, etc.), continuing down this path toward communism will result in another Civil War.

Harkin is another left winger past his due date, who is terrified of what is happening to the lies of his party.

Democrats have become the intellectual successors to “Anti-Federalist party”, standing for centralized power at the expense of the states, and using force and threats of force to compel people to accept situations and conditions contrary to their personal better interests.
All in the interest of “helping”, doncha know.

How can that be? The Tea party is either dead or of no consequence. Most of the democratic “leaders” proclaimed that months ago/s

Maybe Darrell Issa can cane Harkin on the floor of the Senate. Live on C-Span.
I, for one, might enjoy that.

Transferrance..Harkin is merely telling what he knows is True of the Democratic Party now run by the Communist Party USA only changing the names to protect the guilty.
To: txrangerette
...What was that again, Harkin? Is Grassley dangerous? Harkin belongs on the Gong Show.
To: Biggirl
They are SCARED of a resurging TP movement. Terrified! A grassroots conservative/libertarian movement is 180 degrees against the establishment liberals. The left was supposed to have a grassroots uprising, but oops, it came from the right. Like Rush said: Liberals always tell you how they fear.

That’s what democrats said about that dangerous new republican party in 1860 and why they forced the conflict to save slavery.
Today they say the same things about tea party conservatives as they attempt to reestablish slavery in this country by making all taxpayers into tax slaves.
Just as black slaves worked to support the non-working slave owners and their interests they now want us to work and then take the fruit of our labor from us to support the democrat party, its elite leadership and their non-working constituents.
F### all democrats, down with their party, curse all of them and their constituents.

Harkin is confusing the Civil War with the Revolutionary War.

So, when will Harkin start painting Jew on the windows of Tea Party owned Businesses?In a way, he just did. He's not warning about a civil war, he's betting that the one he helps ignite will end in his favor.

You betcha we’re dangerous.
When the government fears the people, things are shaping up.

And after its successful conclusion, I volunteer to man the guillotine - and eagerly await your little puny liberal head.

Dems are used to having their way with the compliant Republicans but the Tea Party fights back. They should be scared. For decades they have had a "Heads we win a lot. Tails we lose a little, or nothing." situation with the Republican Party.
