"Tea Party’s rise could undercut mainstream GOP; Some believe moderates may turn to Democrats" by Susan Milligan, Globe Staff | May 30, 2010
WASHINGTON — The Tea Party movement is energizing elements of the Republican Party and fanning an anti-Washington fervor, but the biggest beneficiaries in the midterm elections, pollsters and political analysts say, could be the main target of their anger: Democrats.
This from a newspaper that predicted Martha Coakley would win by double-digits!!!

Yeah, you need to get your head out of your ass, Globe.
From North Carolina and Kentucky to Colorado and Nevada, candidates backed by Tea Party activists are making strong showings in primaries and opinion polls.
But they are going to lose later?
Some of their campaigns, however, threaten to undercut GOP efforts to attract independents and moderates, prized voting factions in the general election.
Here is to hoping anyway, 'eh, Globe.
“Republicans are definitely doing Democrats a favor if they nominate these Tea Party candidates,’’ said Tom Jensen, director of Public Policy Polling, which has surveyed several of the states where such candidates are in play. “Even if these Tea Party candidates win in the primaries, things can look a lot worse in the general.’’
Yeah, better that you should lose in the first round rather than have a chance to win the championship.
I guess they could also say that about Liberal Democrats -- except THEY NEVER WIN ANYTHING!!!
What MSM ARROGANCE, 'eh, America?
The anti-establishment candidates and their supporters insist they are simply voicing a widespread frustration with big government and big spending in Washington.
YUP!!!!
Far from alienating Americans, Tea Party contenders will encourage conservatives to go to the polls in the midterm general election, when turnout is typically lower than in presidential elections, their supporters say.
Nor is the GOP establishment ready to put a damper on the movement, which already has helped nominate libertarian-leaning Rand Paul in the Kentucky GOP primary for US Senate....

Democrats fully expect to lose seats this fall, in part because of historical trends and in part because of a voter backlash against the Democrat-controlled government in Washington.
Because THEY DIDN'T DO what we wanted them to do and there has been NO CHANGE!
Washington is still Israeli-occupied territory that is controlled by corporate ca$h!
And the majority party is experiencing infighting as well....
But LEFT-LIBERALS NEVER WIN ANYTHING -- and even if they did, DemocraPic leadership does not listen!

Hard to hear people with campaign loot coming out your ears.
But Republicans are in a more vexing quandary, trying to channel the energy of the Tea Party movement while keeping its more controversial leaders from becoming the face of the GOP.
Like who?

Oh. I'm not one of them.
Capitol Hill Republicans, for example, have distanced themselves from Paul....
Republicans, however, are careful not to alienate the movement’s rank and file....
Ummm, WE DO NOT LIKE BEING USED like DemocraPs use liberals, sorry!
ANY THIRD PARTY, ALL INCUMBENTS OUT!
Tea Party defenders, however, call their candidates victims of both parties — Democrats seeking to taint GOP slates across the country with unfair caricatures and Republicans irritated that their hand-picked candidates aren’t connecting with voters....
Oh, just like the AMERICAN PEOPLE!
Update:
"The Tea Party movement racked up several victories last night. Paul LePage, the mayor of Waterville, won the GOP gubernatorial primary in Maine and will face Democratic nominee Libby Mitchell.

EXPECT a LOT MORE in a FREE and FAIR ELECTION!
“A lot of what’s going down in the country is really an anti-incumbent attitude and ire,’’ said Eric Baker, a political science professor at University of Arkansas at Fort Smith. “A lot of the anger is really not ideological; it’s anger against the system.’’
Because the SYSTEM is NOT LISTENING to us and SCREWING US!!!!!

Update: MSNBC Hit Piece Smears Tea Party As Neo-Nazis
An MSNBC hit piece set to air next week attempts to smear Tea Party activists and average Americans concerned about how the financial crisis is being exploited as neo-nazi Hitler supporters who want to go on killing sprees, highlighting once again the corporate media’s desperation to eviscerate the popularity of anti-establishment political candidates in the run up to the November elections.
Yeah, NO ONE is LISTENING or WATCHING THEM, either!
