The Democrats and their activist old media are running in circles and working themselves into pretzels trying to define the “Tea Party” movement. It can be quite entertaining to watch. They really have no idea what is happening right in front of their eyes. The media would have an easier time reading Mandarin Chinese than they would deciphering the signs at a Tea Party rally.
You could argue that they don’t want to understand what they are seeing because that means they would have to admit that Democrats have lost the beloved grass roots that they claim to have had forever, and I would not disagree. But, for the moment, let’s just say that they are really trying hard to figure this out and it’s just not sinking in to their brilliant Ivy League minds.
Let’s give them a little hint:

Sunday on Meet the Press, Dee Dee Myers, the former Clinton press secretary, took a stab at defining the Tea Party movement. “I’m not sure exactly where this is going….is it a third party, is it part of the Republican Party?”
On ABC’s This Week, Al Hunt of Bloomberg News said, “I’m not sure exactly what the Tea Party movement is, I’m not sure the people who respond to the polls know what it is, and it remains to be seen whether it is an asset to the Republican Party.”

6:24 pm EST, February 10th, 2010 — 63% Say Better for Country If Most of Congress Not Reelected
63% would vote to replace the entire Congress? A stunning percentage. American politicians on both sides have got to be very worried about what this November might bring. Take care of Congress first and then Obama after that. In 2012 the first female POTUS will condemn the first black POTUS to well deserved historial irrelevance. Um um um.
63% would vote to replace the entire Congress? Makes you wonder what the heck is wrong with the other 37%!!!!
Re#2. They’re all relatives of Peloise, Reid and Barney Frank.
I saw something about this on TV last night…
