Robert Siegel speaks with Jeff Roe, Republican strategist and founder of Axiom Strategies. Roe is known for his often no-holds barred approach to campaigning and has been involved with successful wins for Tea Party candidates. He talks about what the results in the Wisconsin recall effort might mean nationally and what to expect in the 2012 race.
It’s not going to hurt the Tea Party.
The Tea Party CAUSED the libs’ Wisconsin FAIL.
The Tea Party needs no boosting.
True that! ...and they (MSM) put out the memo that the Tea Party was all but dead. Whoopsie, got that wrong.
We need a huge Tea Party rally in the center of the country this summer. I mean HUGE !
Better headline, “How much will Walker victory completely Demoralize Rats?”
The TEA Party is doing just fine thank you and doesn’t need a “boost”. Just because you don’t see us, it doesn’t mean we aren’t there. We’ve taken a page out of the minuteman’s playbook. It’s the minutemen against the “lobsterbacks” all over again.
“...and they (MSM) put out the memo that the Tea Party was all but dead. Whoopsie, got that wrong.”
Boost the Tea Party? It doesn’t need boosting. It is effective and developing deep roots in the body politic. The MSM just doesn’t understand the movement.
The Tea Party ain't a party.
The Tea Party is a set of shared ideas.
The self-appointed intellectual "elite" think that the unwashed masses believe whatever they are told by whoever bombards them with the most political advertisements.
The thought that there is a segment of American society capable of thinking for themselves is beyond their meager comprehension.
They will never understand us, which is why they are going to be so surprised when we bury them, and tamp the ground down over their graves.
That's just "mean-spirited":)
Exactly. Also, the Left cannot understand how the Tea Party movement functions without a Leader. That fact drives them nuts because they cannt attack a leader and destroy him or her.
Worth repeating:
They dismiss us, because they don’t understand us. They try to demonize us, but when they do, they demonize their neighbors and constituents.
Consider a tall-ship sailing the high seas. Picture this ship pitching and rolling and cutting through the waves. The pundits are engaged in describing for the rest of us the sails, the deck, the masts, and the rigging of the ship. They express faux-concern that the ship may be sea-worthy, but the crew is not experienced, and the ship is without a pilot at the helm. They predict the inevitable destruction of this grand craft as the unqualified captain and crew sail it into dangerous waters and crash it on the rocks, and then they predict the tales will be told of how the ship and its crew were lost at sea, and the tale will become legend.
This certainly may be the case, however, it will not matter. Perhaps they will never understand that the ship and the crew are not the Tea Party - the Tea Party is the wind.

“Will Failed Wisconsin Recall Boost Tea Party?”
Only a delusional Leftist would even ask this question.
Neither does the GOP Establishment, as far as that goes.
