Tea party antics could end up burning Republicans
By Amy Gardner

The tea party's volatile influence on this election year appears to be doing more harm than good for Republicans' chances in some of the closest races in the nation, in which little-known candidates who upset the establishment with primary wins are now stumbling in the campaign's final days.

In Kentucky, a volunteer for tea-party-backed Senate candidate Rand Paul was videotaped stepping on the head of a liberal protester. In Delaware and Colorado, Senate hopefuls Christine O'Donnell and Ken Buck, respectively, are under fire for denying that the First Amendment's establishment clause dictates a separation of church and state. In Nevada, GOP Senate nominee Sharron Angle is drawing rebuke for running TV ads that portray Latino immigrants as criminals and gang members.

Perhaps the most dramatic tea party problems are in Alaska, where Republican Senate candidate Joe Miller is suffering another round of unfavorable headlines after it was revealed late Tuesday that he had admitted lying about his misconduct while working as a government lawyer in Fairbanks.

Wouldn't it be a bit more productive if Big Media pointed out that the radical, socialist and Marxist volatile influence on this election year appears to be doing more harm than good for RATS' chances in some of the closest races in the nation, in which little-known candidates who upset the establishment with primary wins are now stumbling in the campaign's final days?

Yep. Unbelieveably biased story. Interestingly, O’Donnel surged today.

The WaPo is whistling past the graveyard. It has already been shown that the MSM will do and say anything to drive a stake through the heart of the Tea Party, because it terrifies them.

The leftist media is in full campaign mode - printing wishful thinking instead of the news. Why do we still call it a “newspaper”?

So much bullsh!t and such a small wheel barrel. There is no evidence of any kind that anything in this putrid leftist hit piece has any basis in reality... just another leftist wet dream.

The early voting numbers I have seen for Colorado gave Republicans big advantage. The enthusiasm gap will probably make Bennet toast.

The freshman class needs to treat the media for what it is -
a propaganda organ for an entity hostile to America.

If the article had said or meant the Tea Party antics burns RINOs, I’d be OK with that.

Not to worry. Amy thinks Marxists are simply misunderstood agricultural reformers.

Remember, for Leftwingtards their understanding of reality ended at their mother's breasts and they can't think any further than that (well, unless they grow their own, and then if they get REALLY BIG ONES you just never know what they're thinking ~ but I don't know if Amy has THE BIG ONES but her pictures don't reveal anything anyway. Now, her teeth ~ she has a split between the two big ones and that's propelling her to KEEP HER MOUTH SHUT and her lower lip curled up inside.

I suspect we are dealing with a shy person who was sent out to learn all about the TEA Party and she began encountering men in costumes typical of the 18th century and simply freaked out.

She imagines people who wear costumes are wierdos ~ now, how much does she fear them?

Remarkably similar article appears in the UK Guardian:

“The GOP’s coming Tea Party hangover” by Niall Stanage

Proof that while Great Minds think alike, so do small minds.

The antics begin at 10 AM tomorrow morning in Jackson Michigan. Next will be the antics in Waterford Michigan at 4 PM. The Antics will then move on to Monroe Michigan at 8 PM.

Be there or be square.
