It's good that the crazies are acting out. They need to have their own party. One day in retrospect, 2010 will not be the year of Obamacare. It will be the year that the two party system finally began to unwind.
To paraphrase Moynihan, we are defining extremism down. Today's Republican Party welcomes the John Birch Society into the fold - they were a sponsor of CPAC. This group was long shunned by the GOP establishment and used to claim that Eisenhower was a communist and they were not misusing the word. They really thought he was secretly operating with the Soviets.
The "Taxed Enough Already" Party makes tax rates their #1 issue as we have the lowest taxes in the western world, growing massive debt and deficits. And they want lower tax rates? They can make a lot of noise and they bring fear into the hearts of all GOP pols. Remarkably absent is any sense of responsibility or obligation to make reasoned, cogent arguments. There are no adults in the room.
Today's Republicans fought Obamacare tooth and nail and it is a program far to the right of what Nixon proposed in the early '70's - that wasn't liberal enough for the Democratic Congress!
The spectrum has moved far, far to the right and it has to move quite a ways left to get back to the center. Fortunately, we are on our way.
Fired up! Ready to go!
Imagine, folks prostesting the health care bill became upset and said dumb things. Oh my Gosh!
Popular? Really?
We have another entitlement. One we cannot afford...again.
The TEA party also says just a little about spending and the growth of government.
Liberals are getting their ass kicked, deny away!
No, I think the TEA party will ultimately hold the Reps feet to the fire.
