发帖数: 1318 | 5 tea party is just like the union, it is a way for funneling money into
political fights. if you watch the interview of the tea party members,
many of them are plainly retard, some are obviously KKK, cowardly in
disguise.
their candidate picks sure tell you something about it. Palin,
o'donnell, all big phonies. But O'donnel is a complete fraud. the woman
never got a real degree until a few years ago, and never hold a real
job.
she often presents herself as a constitution expert quoting her "deep
studies" and her "fellowship" from a conservation institution which
lasted a few days only.
She is probably a first in the sense of completely living off her
compaign. she has illegally used her funds to pay herself, her friends.
she even paid her mother a few K for "financial advices".
Further more, just like Laura Schlessinger -- another shameless
hypocrite, most arrogant control maniac, and recently exposed racist,
she too is that type of "conservative woman" who fiercely defended her
conservative value now while admittedly being promiscuous in her earlier
life... and not to mention her witchcraft.
tea party started as white mobs, and so it remains. it has nothing to
offer in ideology, no insight in social or economical value systems, no
idea on government or religion. it is not karl rove, or neo-con. to sum
it up, it is a bunch of bigots, thugs, racists, -- argry whites.
The joke is on the republicans and the enlightened conservatives. tea
party may be an easier way to gain seats in a state or two. but in a
year or two, it is a burden, and a big step backwards for them.

发帖数: 8227 | 7 Two central facts give shape to the historic 2010 election. The first is not
understood by Republicans, and the second not admitted by Democrats.
The first: the tea party is not a "threat" to the Republican Party, the tea
party saved the Republican Party. In a broad sense, the tea party rescued it
from being the fat, unhappy, querulous creature it had become, a party that
didn't remember anymore why it existed, or what its historical purpose was.
The tea party, with its energy and earnestness, restored the GOP to itself.
In a practical sense, the tea party saved the Republican Party in this cycle
by not going third-party. It could have. The broadly based, locally
autonomous movement seems to have made a rolling decision, group by group,
to take part in Republican primaries and back Republican hopefuls. (
According to the Center for the Study of the American Electorate, four
million more Republicans voted in primaries this year than Democrats, the
GOP's highest such turnout since 1970. I wonder who those people were?)
Because of this, because they did not go third-party, Nov. 2 is not going to
be a disaster for the Republicans, but a triumph.
Deputy Editorial Page Editor Daniel Henninger analyzes the political impact
of the former president's return to the stage. Columnist Mary Anastasia O'
Grady describes the flaws in the U.S. agenda at this weekend's G20 meeting,
and discusses 20-year-old Marisol Valles Garcia's decision to take on the
drug gangs.
The tea party did something the Republican establishment was incapable of
doing: It got the party out from under George W. Bush. The tea party
rejected his administration's spending, overreach and immigration proposals,
among other items, and has become only too willing to say so. In doing this
, the tea party allowed the Republican establishment itself to get out from
under Mr. Bush: "We had to, boss, it was a political necessity!" They
released the GOP establishment from its shame cringe.
And they not only freed the Washington establishment, they woke it up. That
establishment, composed largely of 50- to 75-year-olds who came to
Washington during the Reagan era in a great rush of idealism, in many cases
stayed on, as they say, not to do good but to do well. They populated a
conservative infrastructure that barely existed when Reagan was coming up:
the think tanks and PR groups, the media outlets and governmental
organizations. They did not do what conservatives are supposed to do, which
is finish their patriotic work and go home, taking the knowledge and
sophistication derived from Washington and applying it to local problems. (
This accounts in part for the esteem in which former Bush budget chief and
current Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels is held. He went home.)
The GOP establishment stayed, and one way or another lived off government,
breathed in its ways and came to know—learned all too well!—the limits of
what is possible and passable. Part of the social and cultural reality
behind the tea party-GOP establishment split has been the sheer fact that
tea partiers live in non-D.C. America. The establishment came from America,
but hasn't lived there in a long time.
I know and respect some of the establishmentarians, but after dinner, on the
third glass of wine, when they get misty-eyed about Reagan and the old days
, they are not, I think, weeping for him and what he did but for themselves
and who they were. Back when they were new and believed in something.
Finally, the tea party stiffened the GOP's spine by forcing it to recognize
what it had not actually noticed, that we are a nation in crisis. The tea
party famously has no party chiefs and no conventions but it does have a
theme—stop the spending, stop the sloth, incompetence and unneeded
regulation—and has lent it to the GOP.
Actually, Maureen "Moe" Tucker, former drummer of the Velvet Underground,
has done the best job ever of explaining where the tea party stands and why
it stands there. She also suggests the breadth and variety of the movement.
In an interview this week in St. Louis's Riverfront Times, Ms. Tucker said
she'd never been particularly political but grew alarmed by the direction
the country was taking. In the summer of 2009, she went to a tea-party rally
in southern Georgia. A chance man-on-the-street interview became a YouTube
sensation. No one on the left could believe this intelligent rally-goer was
the former drummer of the 1960s breakthrough band; no one on the left
understood that an artist could be a tea partier. Because that's so not cool
, and the Velvet Underground was cool.
Ms. Tucker, in the interview, ran through the misconceptions people have
about tea partiers: "that they're all racists, they're all religious nuts,
they're all uninformed, they're all stupid, they want no taxes at all and no
regulations whatsoever." These stereotypes, she observed, are encouraged by
Democrats to keep their base "on their side." But she is not a stereotype:
"Anyone who thinks I'm crazy about Sarah Palin, Bush, etc., has made quite
the presumption. I have voted Democrat all my life, until I started
listening to what Obama was promising and started wondering how the hell
will this utopian dream be paid for?"
There is also this week a striking essay by Fareed Zakaria, no tea partier
he, in Time magazine. He unknowingly touched on part of the reason for the
tea party. Mr. Zakaria, born and raised in India, got his first sense of
America's vitality, outsized ways, glamour and crazy high-spiritedness as a
young boy in the late 1970s watching bootlegged videotapes of "Dallas." What
a country! His own land, in comparison, seemed sleepy, hidebound. Now when
he travels to India, "it's as if the world has been turned upside down.
Indians are brimming with hope and faith in the future. After centuries of
stagnation, their economy is on the move, fueling animal spirits and
ambition. The whole country feels as if it has been unlocked." Meanwhile the
mood in the U.S. seems glum, dispirited. "The middle class, in particular,
feels under assault." Sixty-three percent of Americans say they do not think
they will be able to maintain their current standard of living. "The can-do
country is convinced that it can't."
All true. And yet. We may be witnessing a new political dynamism. The tea
party's rise reflects anything but fatalism, and maybe even a new high-
spiritedness. After all, they're only two years old and they just saved a
political party and woke up an elephant.
The second fact of 2010 is understood by Republicans but not admitted by
Democrats. It is that this is a fully nationalized election, and at its
center it is about one thing: Barack Obama.
It is not, broadly, about the strengths or weaknesses of various local
candidates, about constituent services or seniority, although these elements
will be at play in some outcomes, Barney Frank's race likely being one. But
it is significant that this year Mr. Frank is in the race of his life, and
this week on TV he did not portray the finger-drumming smugness and
impatience with your foolishness he usually displays on talk shows. He
looked pale and mildly concussed, like someone who just found out that
liberals die, too.
This election is about one man, Barack Obama, who fairly or not represents
the following: the status quo, Washington, leftism, Nancy Pelosi, Fannie and
Freddie, and deficits in trillions, not billions.
Everyone who votes is going to be pretty much voting yay or nay on all of
that. And nothing can change that story line now. | y****t
