The Tea Party is desparate
Edited on Tue Apr-12-11 08:31 AM by Harmony Blue
They are bullying their talking points to the rest of the populace, which does not align with any real world realities, nor are any of these same points grounded into an idealistic reality. This is why they are making their power grab now, because their divide and conquer strategy is coming to an end.

The working class is starting to unite by sensing this organized multi-pronged attack against working people, and the Tea Party knows that this is their last push which is why they are so extreme all of a sudden. This is also why the Tea Party is so angry and acting with so much urgency. They implicitly are admitting that if they don't cement in their foundation of this utopia now, that they will be cast away by the surge of liberalism from the rest of the nation. Indeed, most Americans are liberal on many issues.

In fact, many Republicans are having an epiphany of their own.

Now, the key is educating these people that sticking with the Republican party is not the way to go.

1. Our recent winnings show the momentum is on our side as we race towards
further victory and they crawly into an avalance of defeat.

3. It seems as though we're dealing with a lot of stupid now...
I wish they were just ignorant.

4. If you were still in Florida (like I am).
You would see stupidity up close and personal.

5. No such thing as the "Tea Party"
There is no state in the union where you can register to vote as "Tea Party," and there is no national candidate for any office whose affiliation is "Tea Party."

They are Republicans. Conservative Republicans.

6. They've always been bullies.
Just because they're doing so doesn't mean they're desperate, it means they're aggressive tunnel-visioned assholes.

8. What I find appalling is that our side does NOT have an
organized, coherent reply. It's spotty.

9. That second article is facepalm-inducing.
"His morals prevent him from voting Democratic."

Seriously, what the fuck? Oh, you think it's just this one Republican candidate that screwed you over? You don't see this happening everywhere? You don't see how they've been doing and blamed it on Democrats for FUCKING YEARS?!

No, y'all are right, you can't educate the galactically stupid. Even realizing they've been thrown to the wolves by those they've supported so long, they still can't do anything but pull the lever for an 'R' in Pavlovian fashion. TAXCUTSTAXCUTSTAXCUTSTAXCUTS...

10. The media is theirs, never forget
Never discount America's ability to suspend critical thinking. Look how close McCain came to winning after Repukes ruined America in every way possible. We discounted the Repuke Party, saying they were in disarray, and then they won the House.
