Tea Party is 'great awakening' for GOP

Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., has become a favorite of the Tea Party movement and a conservative leader who has been encouraged by some to run for president.

But DeMint, founder of the Senate's Tea Party Caucus, writes in his book out today that he has felt "isolation" at times for bucking his party on issues such as earmarks and for his fervent support of candidates such as Florida's Marco Rubio and Pennsylvania's Pat Toomey.

DeMint's book, The Great American Awakening: Two Years that Changed America, Washington & Me, chronicles his fight in Congress to push the GOP establishment and his support of the anti-tax, small-government Tea Party movement that has reshaped party politics.

In excerpts provided to USA TODAY, DeMint recounts his transformation and that of his party. He recalls how in June 2009, he endorsed Rubio, a former speaker of the Florida House, then about 30 percentage points below Gov. Charlie Crist in the polls for a U.S. Senate seat.

DeMint found Rubio was the "principled conservative" and Crist, despite his popularity and backing by the GOP leadership, was a "political opportunist" who had broken with Republicans to support President Obama's economic stimulus package.

"For me, the choice was clear," DeMint writes. "It certainly wasn't for the others. My colleagues literally laughed at me."

Crist, sensing he could not win the GOP nomination, went on to bolt the Republican Party and became an independent. Rubio, with the help of the Tea Party movement, beat Crist and Democrat Kendrick Meek to win the Senate election.

DeMint writes also about his former GOP Senate colleague, Pennsylvania's Arlen Specter, who switched parties and became a Democrat. "If Republican leaders preferred Arlen Specter to Pat Toomey, then we obviously needed new Republican leaders," DeMint writes.(Specter eventually lost renomination to the Senate to Democrat Joe Sestak, and Toomey beat Sestak for the Senate seat.)

They are going to mess up the election!

The decision of the Democratic grandees to try to force through a radical program of Unconstitutional socialized medicine in the face of opposition on the part of a growing majority of their fellow citizens guarantees that opposition will grow and grow.

And Barack Obama and William Jefferson Clinton did themselves no favors when they decided to pick up and repeat Anderson Cooper’s snide, sneering, obscene description of the Tea-Partiers as teabaggers.

In the election campaign, Obama hid the contempt that he entertains for his fellow citizens. Now the gloves are off, and he and his minions are busy delivering body blows ... to themselves.


What remains remarkable, however, is the Tea-Party movement lacks institutional support. Back in the early 1990s, when Hillary Clinton announced her proposal for a federal takeover of healthcare, the insurance companies mounted a campaign against it.
This time, the Democrats have squared everything with the special interests.

The National Association of Manufacturers quickly climbed on board, eager to free its members from having to provide health care insurance for their members’ employees. The pharmaceutical companies did a deal with Obama aimed at protecting their short-term interests, as did the American Medical Association. The American Association of Retired Persons — which purports to represent the interests of the elderly, but is essentially another insurance company — was bought outright, and the same thing can be said with regard to the health insurance companies. The industrial labor unions have been bought and are similarly on board.

Indeed, everyone appears to have been taken care of ... except, of course, for the ordinary citizens who will be subject to the new regime and repressive taxes. There was no one to stand up for them until the Tea Party grew and pushed in Great new Congressmen. The Republican Party had lacked the requisite votes, and everyone else has been bought.


In the circumstances, it is heartening that Americans still know how to stand up for themselves. With continued cooperation from Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Obama, the Tea-Party movement may find itself blazing the trail for a partisan realignment that few in the Republican Party yet has the wit to imagine.

Current Issues of Tea Party Concern:




No More Raising the Debt Ceiling.

Reduce National Debt.


Repeal or Strike down Unconstitutional Obamacare.


Defend the Constitution as Obama and Democrats try shredding it.


Campaign Finance Reform to prevent buying of Obama and most of Congress.

How'd you like the 2010 SHELLACKING we gave you? Here comes another in November!



:)

The new people in congress were sent there to try to fix the mess.

Maybe they can do some good, maybe the mess has a life of its own.

We need a little havoc in D.C. & not the OWS kind!

The tea-baggers were the best thing that could have happened for President Obama and the Democratic Party… just look at the approval ratings of the republican led congress to see the monumental negative effect the tea-baggers had of the GOP.

When President Obama is re-elected in another landslide, it will be in no small part due to the unpatriotic 2010 right-wing tea-baggers.

Hilarious week lined up for Obama, prez to appear on Fallon, Kimmel to roast him at White House dinner.

Many see Obama's appearance on the popular show an attempt to zero in on young voters.

Of course as is normal with Obama, nothing about jobs, his hidden records, another smoking gun on the border, or the thousands wasted by the GSA.

The more the Democrats ignore the GSA scandal, the Secret Service scandal, the obscene spending, the inflation, the unemployment rate, and the "Let them eat Cake" attitude of the first family the greater their loss will be in November. We need grown ups in charge. This golfing, partying anything goes group must be voted out so we can get something done to fix our economy. It is the Ecobony, Stupid.

Correction" The ecomony, not the ecobony

The Tea Party make up the best allies the Democrats can have. They deserve our praise for sacrificing themselves, and helping to destroy the Republican party for years to come. You can soon crawl back into your swamp, narrow foreheads held high.

There was a time when Americans were for personal responsibility. We must return to that value again. We simply cannot depend on other people for the care, and feedng of the illegitimate children, while mommie, and daddy are useless to society. We are destroying the family unit.

There are more coming, too.
Bring them into government as much as possible to get it
down to the limited government that the Founding Fathers
envisioned.
Question: Who makes up the JFK wing of the Democratic Party?
This is a trick question....

There are a couple conservative Democrats. They are mostly on the state level. By the time any of these big spenders get to Washington they are beyond help. If Boehner didn't like the people we sent to Washington in 2010 he will like this years freshmen even less. The fact that the Democrats are complaining about the Taxed Enough Already people indicates how effective they have really been in cutting the size of spending. Otherwise they would be ignored. We will send even more in November. In a couple more elections with a Republican President, and a Republican House, and Senate this country will be on the way back to what it was meant to be before they turned in into a socialist circus.

The GOPTEA Birthers brought our country its first credit downgrade ever. We will remember in November.

The TEA birthers cost the GOP the senate which they should have one (majority parties historically switch in Congress during mid-terms). This year they will cost them the house.

You're the one whining about $4 a gallon gas. If you can't afford it, get a job instead of asking President Obama to help you. Do you hear the 1% whining about high gas prices? Hell no! They can afford it.

Conservatism is dead. The GOPTEA Birthers are well on their way to electing their most liberal candidate - Romneycare.

The TEA party had nothing to do with taxes or wasteful spending. Their leaders are a tax raiser (Palin), and the queen of government care through her family's farm subsidies, medicare payments, and taxpayer paid health insurance (Bachmann). The G-roup O-f P-olitical T-erroristic E-uropean A-mericans were never concerned about taxes or spending. They were just angry they were bested by a black man.
