News Busters ^ | June 15 2014 | Jeffrey Meyer

Donna Brazile, who served as campaign manager for Al Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign and is the current Vice Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, had some surprisingly kind words to say about the Tea Party during a TV appearance on Sunday, June 15.

Brazile appeared on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos during its “Powerhouse Roundtable” segment to discuss Congressman Eric Cantor’s (R-VA) loss in the Republican Primary. The Democratic strategist remarked that “The Tea Party is the energy inside the Republican Party. You ignore them, you ignore the base.”

“And you will be Cantored.”

...or “Bratted Out”

How about we make Brat’s name into a verb, a VERY THREATENING verb?

As a side note about political parties, please consider the following. For those organizations who are beating the drums for a constitutional convention, I suggest an amendment which prohibits political parties for the federal government.

In fact, if the feds were forced to comply with the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers and limited power to lay taxes, then probably many states would have to struggle to find people to serve as a federal lawmakers since crook lawmakers would have less tax dollars to chase.

On the other hand, the trade, military and treaty aspects of the federal government’s powers would hopefully entice retired vets, especially those who have served overseas, to serve as lawmakers.

Actually Donna Brazil is quite skilled. However, she stands for everything that I reject. In many interviews I have found here very candid and accurate in her analysis of both Dems and Repubs.

I detest her ideology and her goals. I do admire her honest analysis. She is ground in reality. This also makes her a formidable foe.

kind words

Or maybe she's drunk the MSM Kool-aid and thinks that by linking the GOP to the tea party she hurts the GOP.
