Debate Over Tea Party Protest Numbers Masks the Real History Made
“And the moment it is co-opted by the Republicans, I predict a lot of steam will go out of it.”
These people could care less about the approval of the “moderate” Republicans. They will refuse to be co-opted by them. The Tea movement is comprised of mature and knowledgeable citizens—committed to the long run. These are not kids trying to have some fun playing radical revolutionary. They also mostly financially stable individuals able to purchase reading materials and donate to their favorite politicians. Oh yes, they are indeed a force to be reckoned with. None of them trust the MSM and other left-wing institutions. Their faith has instead been redirected to radio talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and Pajamas Media. Red and purple elected officials fear them far more than they do Barack Obama. The president is no longer a major factor. He is a lame duck unable to do anything significant. Obama should consider resigning from office in the near future.
