Tax Cut Compromise Leaves Ardent Obama Supporters Disillusioned

I'm one of 'the left'.  

I take your point, though.  

You need to remember that teabaggers didn't just spring forth on their own initiative­.  Nor is the Tea Party any real separate and distinct party from the GOP.  There are only about 600 registered members to the separate independen­t Tea Party.  All of the others are just the loud noisy base of the Republican party that always could be counted on to call Congress whenever GOP handlers rang the bell.

Not only did the Koch brothers and Dick Armey organize the Republican base into the Tea Party, Obama and Rahm Emanuel pitched in to help.  

The Democratic base doesn't have anybody doing that for them.  That's why we are a rag-tag unfocused group.
