Who would have predicted this a year ago? Certainly not the complacent army of White House spin doctors who have failed to grasp, let alone acknowledge, the momentous political transformation that is sweeping America. CNN’s latest poll confirms that the Tea Party movement has more political clout than the President of the United States in influencing voters during this November’s mid-terms. While just 37 percent of Americans are more likely to vote for a candidate if backed by Barack Obama, a far larger 50 percent will vote for a Tea-Party endorsed candidate.


As CNN puts it:

A solid majority of all Americans — 56 percent — say that Obama has fallen short of their expectations. As a result, the president is not in a position to help struggling Democratic candidates; only 37 percent of likely voters say they are more likely to vote for a congressional candidate backed by Obama.

In contrast, half of all likely voters now say they are likely to choose a candidate supported by the conservative Tea Party — contributing to the GOP’s 53 to 44 percent lead when such voters are asked which party’s candidate they will choose in November. . . . .

GOP, Tea Party Unity Spells Defeat For Obama

GOP, Tea Party Unity Spells Defeat For Obama: Republicans should be grateful tea partiers did not run as third-party candidates and split the antistatist vote
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703989304575503921088554324.html


Christine O'Donnell's upset victory in last week's Delaware GOP Senate primary has generated a lot of talk in the media about where the tea party and the GOP are headed.

Tea party voters have been incited to political action by the policies of the Obama administration and the Pelosi-Reid Congress. These include a heretofore unimaginable federal spending spree, a failed package of stimulus programs, a government takeover of our health-care system, and the Democrats' insistence on raising taxes, particularly on job creators, even though job creation is our country's greatest need. . . . .

Think Progress is a George Soros operation connected to John Podesta’s Center for American Progress. Podesta is Clinton’s former chief of staff.

The defeat of Alaska's Lisa Murkowski by a little-known conservative lawyer is the latest evidence of a tidal wave building that may sweep aside an out-of-touch establishment. "We the people" won't be ignored.

Shays' Rebellion, an uprising of 1,200 farmers led by one Daniel Shays, angry over conditions in Massachusetts in 1786, prompted Thomas Jefferson to write to James Madison that "a little rebellion now and then is a good thing" for America. . . . .

'Tea Party' members offer a ground-level view
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/2010-08-13-1Ateaparty12_CV_N.htm



A year ago, the political hurricane known as the "Tea Party" erupted in made-for-YouTube confrontations at congressional town hall meetings on the pending health care overhaul.
This August, the movement's supporters seem less rowdy — perhaps because they're pounding the pavement and dialing phones, trying to alter the balance of power in Congress in the fall elections. While Tea Party-favored candidates have lost in contests including the California GOP Senate primary, they have won Republican Senate primaries in Colorado, Kentucky, Nevada and Utah.

They say it's just the start. . . .

TEA PARTY NEWS

NAACP CALLS TEA PARTY ACTIVISTS "COWARDS" DEMANDS THEY "EXPEL THE BIGOTS AND RACISTS" IN THEIR RANKS

At it's convention in Kansas City last week, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) ordered the Tea Party movement to "expel the bigots and racists in your ranks." The resolution assumes that "bigots and racists" are a dominant force in a movement aimed at reducing taxes and returning the nation to constitutional government.

"We will no longer allow you (the Tea Parties) to hide like cowards and hide behind signs that say 'lynch our president', or anyone else," huffed NAACP President Benjamin Jealous.

There's no evidence that anyone has ever carried such a sign at a Tea Party rally (not that one sign can be used to indict an entire movement).

There's also absolutely no evidence, other than anecdotal, that when members of the Black Congressional Caucus passed a Tea Party demonstration to vote on Obama Care in March, they were verbally or physically abused. Publisher Andrew Breitbart has offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who can produce video or audio recording to substantiate the allegations. So far, no takers.

The NAACP isn't alone in attempting to smear the Tea Parties. Commentaries have appeared in The New York Times and Washington Post suggesting that hostility towards the president's policies is a sign of latent racism.

Writing in The Post, Howard Kurtz suggested that there was something dark and sinister in shouts about "the Constitution" and "taking our country back" - as if "the Constitution" is now a code word for "racism," and calls to take back the country could mean anything other than take-it-back from an administration determined to remake it in ways the Founding Fathers would have found appalling.

There's a not-so-hidden agenda here. Those who are trying so hard to stigmatize the Tea Parties like big government. They want higher taxes. They favor government takeover of industry and long for socialized medicine, a la the British system.

They're also terrified of a regime change following the November elections. By tarring the most visible symbol of opposition to this administration (the Tea Parties) as racist, the left hopes to terrify and mobilize minority voters for the fall elections.

In terms of the NAACP, there are two overriding ironies: 1.Big government hurts low-income minorities most -- witness high rates of crime, out-of-wedlock births, incarceration and low educational performance among African-Americans.

2. Far more than the NAACP, it's the Tea Parties that resemble the Civil Rights movement of the '50s, and '60s - grassroots, populist, dedicated to peaceful change, embracing Biblical values and having an abiding faith in the American people and our system of government.
