President Clinton: We should all listen to the tea party movement
By Willow Bay
The tea party is saying something "everyone should hear," says President Bill Clinton, that "everyone but average Americans are doing alright."

There will be that.
The tea party should be prepared.
There should be a Democrat tea party.
Where insufficiently ???? Democrats are primaried.
That’s an opportunity for a huge mindf.
We do that, well, what’s a DINO? ;-)
What the hell are you talking about, Bubba? If you can't find a job, you're not "doing alright". If your house is upside-down or foreclosed, you are not "doing alright". If you are going to be forced to buy health care you can't afford, you're not "doing alright". Ig you've had to declare bankruptcy, you're not "doing alright". That's a very large swath of people and dismissing them like that is insulting and ignorant.
But, sure, YOU can afford to throw a wedding for your daughter in the priciest places in New York so YOU'RE doing alright but don't be so dismissive of the rest of us, you commie creep.
Clinton is the legal definition of LIAR.
He should just shut up and go rest,take care of his heart and his new large home.
Putting aside my basic disagreement that the hugely overrated “independents/moderates” decide elections, what part SPECIFICALLY of the Tea Party platform should we compromise to please this amorphous group of apathetic, rudderless voters.
It is much better to educate them on what REAL conservatism means.
“Clinton is the legal definition of LIAR.”
That depends on what your definition of ‘is’ is;)
The Party Party is the Democrat version of the tea party.
We run it.
The Party Party believes in Antiwar
The Party Party believes in Legalize it!
The Party Party hates politicians telling you what to do
all the time.
The Party Party candidates are rock stars, with mailing lists and twitter and facebook bigger than Christine.
“Hey fans, listen, I need $20 right now for TV ads. Click here now.” Get a million bucks. Run TV ads. Demolish.
You’ve got to fight for your Constitutional Right to Party, as the Beastie Boys have said.
If they get elected, they’re DINOs.
True to some degree. But you don’t need to use ideology to get the votes of the nonideological.
1) Keep base happy. They’re happy, they turnout.
2) Appeal to others some other way. Christine. Pretty young female appeals to people.
You don’t change your positions. That only pisses off the base. They stay home, you lose. You get the nomination by pleasing the base, proving you’re a good conservative. Then, you can stop talking about conservative stuff. You can talk about yourself then. Or whatever you think will appeal to certain demographics. Or whatever. Conservative is an ideology. Liberal is an ideology. That’s it. Moderate and Independent is code for “huh?”
I talked to a lot of people last night. I don’t think anyone volunteered the word liberal or conservative. But hate politicians, definitely. These are gettable 18-29s.
We think that 18-29s are liberal because they vote for a guy who is younger than their grandpa.
We think that the Northeast is Liberal because they don’t really like cowboys.
Bill is certain that the American people want for him to have another White House intern.
Clinton saying ‘we should listen to the Tea Party movement’ is like Obama inviting conservatives to dinner to actually listen to what they have to say.
These utterances by Bill are designed to set the stage for his wife’s inevitable campaign for the presidency in 2012. The Clintons are beginning the process of putting distance between themselves and the Ubama regime. This is clever, too, because Hillary can keep her hands clean while Bill plots and plants these little seeds. It’s the ultimate triangulation strategy.
” Just like Palin is our best strategist “
Surely you jest ?
I feel pretty sure she will try this, but nobody has been able to explain how she will win the election without the black vote. There is no way blacks will not blame her if she dethrones OBummer and that's even if OBummer refuses to run again.
Good post!My same thought.
BINGO! Give the man a cigar.
Um, he said in effect the average American was not doing alright.
Bill Clinton is the strategist Obama needs, hope he doesn’t realize it but Clinton is taking the right tact at this point. He is smart.
I know he is awful but he understands and knows you cannot paint millions of people as crazies. He gets it.
...Which is precisely why Bill is courting the "tea partiers". The Clintons need to slice off some of them.
“The TEA Party needs to be on the look out for new members who want to lead.”
Agreed.
>>>I know he is awful but he understands and knows you cannot paint millions of people as crazies.
To their faces, anyway.
Who hae you seen be able to win improbable races as she’s done and lead and change the national debate as she has? Been nearly as good with social media? Yeah, as I thought—no one else.
