Tea Time
2010-04-15 - by
The Tea Party movement may return the Republican Party to power – or ruin it. Whichever, the Tea Party controls the GOP’s future.
If Mushmouth Mitch McConnell and Suntan John Boehner become majority leaders in the next Congress, they’ll have no choice but to walk the Tea Party line.
That would pretty much assure Obama’s reelection in 2012.
This year, the Tea Party has passion – and intensity. It has what Obama’s “Yes We Can” crowd had in 2008.
But the Tea Party can be done in by its own zealots – or others. It inevitably gets mixed in with the militia crowd and the states’-rights nullifiers.
An aside: Didn’t we settle this argument about the states and the federal government 150 years ago?
And another: Who’s the nitwit who decided to ban the Tea Party protesters at the State Capitol from carrying flagpoles?
I truly appreciate people who are passionate about politics – and who want to change the world.
The Tea Party scares me because it could serve up victory for the GOP this year. But it also offers the delicious prospect of wrecking the GOP china cabinet.
