Tea Party Survey Shows Small Groups 'Surprisingly' Unengaged In Political Process
Monday, October 25, 2010
There are only 600 teabaggers registered nationally; what they actually are is the Republican base. There are only a handful of them even running, & even if they all won (O'Donnell's 20 points behind in the polls), they'd move to the left as Scott Brown has done ("Sarah Palin, who?") or remain fringe (in reliably 'fringe'-districts) or get voted out if they failed to move to the left once elected. Even Sarah Palin governed Alaska as a moderate Republican; if you're not afraid of Evan Bayh, you've got no business being afraid of the actual political parties that use teabaggers and are in full control of them.
Teabaggers would be directly controlled by Republican leadership in the Congress, the same Republican leadership that Obama and DLC Democrats have refused to go after. The Tea Party is not really a "growing movement" any more than Republicanism is growing -- The Tea Party IS the Republican Party, and it's not any more conservative than the party's been for 30 years.
Obama, the DLC-controlled Democratic Party, is utilizing the same fear tactics that Bush-Cheney-R0ve utilized before 2008 elections. Only now instead of terr0rists, it's fear of teabaggers (witches & gvn-toting John Birchers & Ginni Thomas) scaling the walls of our democracy with knives between their teeth to behead us, instead of Al Qaeda.
All to distract voters from discussing the real issues affecting us.
