Tea Party Denies Claims Of Racism And Then Writes A Letter

Mark Williams, Tea Party Express Chairman, puts pen to paper to prove the Tea Party isn’t racist, and ends up proving they are.  Simply stunning.
Dear Mr. Lincoln
We Colored People have taken a vote and decided that we don’t cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and [...]

Glen Urquhart May Actually Win This One

Currently he’s leading the pack over at HuffPo.  The site Tea Party Jesus has cleverly put the words of “Conservatives into the mouth of Christ.” Talk about making your point.  You really should check out this site – simply brilliant.

Crist Pulls Ahead In The Polls

I’ve been watching Florida very closely mainly because it’s one of the most prominent tests the Tea Party will face.  And while a lot can happen until the election this can’t be good news for the “purge the moderates” group.
Gov. Charlie Crist has a large lead in the three-way race to the be the next [...]

What Happens If The Tea Party Doesn’t Win Big?

Unstable Isotope posted on the laughable poll that shows O’Donnell and Urquhart winning big.  This got me thinking.  These guys, and gals, really, really, really believe they are going to win – and win big.  Take a stroll over to Delaware Politics if you don’t believe me.  On, UI’s thread I asked… The problem is [...]

Republicans Might Get Taitzed

Ouch!  Orly Taitz could actually win, and… Republican heads are exploding.
“It’d be a disaster for the Republican party,” says James Lacy, a conservative GOP operative in the state. “Can you imagine if [gubernatorial candidate] Meg Whitman and [candidate for Lt. Gov.] Abel Maldonado — both of whom might have a chance to win in November [...]

Misery Business

Damn, haters all around. Obama supporters always knew things would be bad with all of the right-wings’ hate and anger, but this past Memorial Day is just an argument to far.

Rand Shrugged

Ah, how does the Republican Party find such diamonds in the rough. Do the have some sort of algorithm written by a climate change denier “scientist”? Could it be something in the cocktails served at their country clubs? But the party that has given us Sarah Palin and Michael Steele has now presented us with [...]

Republican Convention Today

You are to be forgiven if you have no idea that the Republicans are meeting today to give out party endorsements.  I have only really seen it discussed on the blogs on the other side of the political spectrum.  But the comments section of those threads have been highly entertaining.
The local tea partiers like the [...]

Tea Party Takes Over the Maine GOP

One of the continuing stories/themes these days is just what effect, short-term and long-term, the Tea Party movement will have on American politics in general, and the Republican Party specifically. Mock it all you want (please, mock it…it’s fun!), but the Tea Party is a real force right now. For proof, look no farther (further?) [...]

Teabagger Round-Up

There seems to be a lot of news about the teabaggers lately, probably because today is their big protest day. A new survey of Tea Party supporters found they are older, whiter, more male and more likely to call themselves “angry” than other Americans. Their political beliefs aren’t even internally consistent:
Their responses are [...]

Military Tea Party

What could possibly go wrong with this?
A new Tea Party group, Armed Forces Tea Party Patriots, has grown quickly since being launched last month by an active duty Marine Corps sergeant. The group, which vows to “stand up on the very soil we defended to preserve common sense conservatism and defend our Constitution that is [...]

Anti Health Care Reform Activist Arrested For Death Threats

Those tea partiers are just regular folks and when people accuse them of inciting violence they’re liar, right? Maybe not.
Federal prosecutors have charged a Washington state man, Charles Alan Wilson, with repeatedly making threatening calls to Sen. Patty Murray’s Seattle office, threatening to kill her because of her support for the health care bill.

In [...]

Mike Castle Announces Support For Health Care Repeal Efforts

Mike Castle tries to be all things to all people. His carefully worded statement about health care reform repeal fooled the News Journal editorial board into praising his sensible stance.
“While this president is in office, repealing this full law is not realistic and not the best use of our efforts,” Castle said in a [...]

The Genie Is Out Of The Bottle

The real problem we are facing today is not that the Tea Party is part of the Republican Party, it’s that the Republican Party has been absorbed by the Tea Party.  When the GOP lost the middle all it was left with was its fringe.  And like all fringe groups Tea Partiers aren’t willing to [...]

Republicans Decide They’re The True Victims, And We’d Better Believe Them… Or Else!

Everyone else is simply “collateral damage” who need to understand how upset and angry they are, and how Dems brought all this on themselves.
Via Roll Call:
Tea party protesters are reportedly planning a protest at the home of Senate Parliamentarian Alan Frumin later this week, prompting Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Terrance Gainer to work with local law enforcement [...]

Where Do Republicans Go From Here?

Republicans rolled the dice when it came to killing Health Care Reform.  And they lost.  My question is where they go from here?  Coincidentally, David Frum asked the same question:
No illusions please: This bill will not be repealed. Even if Republicans scored a 1994 style landslide in November, how many votes could we muster to [...]

Brown To Host First Beltway Fundraiser

Ah, more of the same. Tea Party Senator Scott Brown will host his first beltway fundraiser — umm, tea party? — later this month. If you have $1000, you too can attend. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Is Graham a RINO in Recovery?

Sen. Linsdey Graham, John McCain’s BFF, talking about health care reform on South Carolina radio inteview:
Nancy Pelosi, I think, has got them all liquored up on sake and you know, they’re making a suicide run here.

I am disheartened that Senator Graham chose to [...]
