Tea party Democrats do exist

By Aaron Blake, The Washington Post

Is there such a thing as a tea party Democrat? The answer, it seems, is yes. Polls show the group exists, but determining its actual impact is difficult. What role the group could play in the 2012 elections is even murkier, except as a rallying cry for Republicans who claim the movement is a bigger tent than it appears.

Recently, Republican leaders have gone out of their way to make the argument that the tea party is more than just a group of (somewhat) disaffected Republicans who are angry about government spending they perceive to be out of control and the large size of the federal government.

Republicans contend that the tea party movement, which surged in the 2010 midterm elections, includes not just Republicans but also independents and Democrats.

In announcing her 2010 presidential bid this month, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) described the tea party this way: “It’s made up of disaffected Democrats. It’s made up of independents. It’s made up of people who have never been political a day in their life.”

In March, former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele said there are “many Democrats, conservative Democrats, in the tea party movement.”

  2. All right, now that I have been for about a month just chewing Michele Bachmann out for being a turncoat, it is time for me to expand on that as things really are in the world of public, entertainment, and beauty. This article clarifies it.

    Michele Bachmann’s purpose is to do the same thing the Republican Party has done to the people who think they unknowingly are Republicans by calling them loyal Tea Partiers. Remember, if the people are not for Ron Paul, then they are following a turncoat who is attempting to have them swallowed up by the Republican Party. Invasion from within.

    Well, it is obvious that Michele Bachmann will not win a real election. She is a flake, but I feel she is more conning in that respect than Sarah Palin. To me Sarah Palin has been more enjoying the attention ever since she was John McCain’s chosen one. So Bachmann’s purpose is to give a pleasing visual which gets to even women and of course she is a woman which, like the “1st black man” is wanted just for the oddity of it in that position. If she gets overwhelming votes, then she will be a good puppet as a standby just like McCain was against either Hillary or Obama.

    Ah, but read this article and then realize what entertainers do. So we have a beauty who is also able to have people listen to her wherever she goes or whatever she says. She is the hook. The basic unspoken rule when it comes to primaries is that you vote for the person you want, then you vote for the party no matter who the chosen one is. So Bachmann hooks the undeciders into the Republican side for her, but then she “loses”. Now that the people have been intertwined into the Republican web, most will just follow the leader and support whoever is the chosen one. In this case the system has put their claim onto the Bilderberg governor, Rick Perry. Of course the people’s choice seems to be actually Ron Paul and it is the job of the people this time to make sure that the media does not leave his winnings in the trash nor him in general. Do not forget, during the primary last time around they did not even mention that he was on the ballot. Somehow they seemed to overlook mentioning his name.

    Those who are familiar with entertainment and marketing should be able to see the picture as I just presented it rather easily now. Heck, we have six months or so before the primary is in full force. We all know that one thing can instantly change a person’s credibility and we all know that Ron Paul’s credibility is iron clad. That means the others are going to soon go by the wayside as we are entertained. Then Rick Perry, the fresh face, comes on the scene.

  3. When Obama went to Portsmouth, NH High School to tout his health care initiative, he brought at least five busloads of people including many in purple SEIU shirts. A protest took place. One of the two coordinators was a democrat. He’d voted for Denis Kucinich in the primary. There may be a You Tube of his post-event interview.
