Tea Party Fizzles?

The Washington Post ran a story today, speaking about how the Tea Party movement is allegedly fizzling, because it cannot coalesce around a central leader, and the candidates it has won with in these primaries, are seen as too extreme. It specifically refers to Sharron Angle and Rand Paul.

Wow. What a joke. The Tea Party movement wins primaries across the country, one after the other and the two candidates mentioned are ahead!! Angle is leading by 11 points and Paul is ahead by around 25 points. Not to mention the other champions we have out there, like Marco Rubio. Sarah Palin just endorsed several winning candidates across the country.

And you tell me its fizzling? You gotta be kidding.

Granted, it is yet to be seen how we perform in the general election. The Democrat's approach is clear--continue demonizing the Tea Party movement. Call them racist. Call them nuts. Try to make it look like its the 1960's and they are a bunch a segregationist.

This approach will not work. First of all, the Democrat's message in this regard, is wrong, both morally and as a matter of fact. Most people still support the movement, and that's why the more you mischaracterize it and the more you mock it...the stronger it gets. They're not just putting the Tea Party on the defensive--they're putting the voters themselves on the defensive.

Good luck with that Democrats!
