Democrats are now calling on their supporters to be as energized as the Tea Party movement!
With her re-election in doubt, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., urged Democrats to unite behind her candidacy with the excitement witnessed at tea party rallies around the nation.
We passed health care reform and we should be proud of it, proud of it, Boxer told supporters waving yellow Boxer 2010″ signs. I need you to be excited, as excited as the tea party people are. Will you help me?
Everybody need Rats to be more like Tea Party people.
This should be interesting. I predict if they do this, it’ll be violent and vile.
.
They’ve already got ACORN, La Raza and public employee unions organinzing rallies.
What more do they want?
They want their people to spout racist hate speech?
ROFL! Hahahahahahahah!
Hahahhaahah!
Hohhohoho!
Hehehehehe!
YAWN!
Hahahahah!
Hahahahaha!
ROFL!
[pause ...]
Hahahahah!
They want the earned income credit raised..
The earned income credit is where it really all fell apart.
How can the rats do like us?
We pay taxes.
Most of them do not.
We’d be in much better financial shape of most of them would get real jobs.
Let’s start with Loon-O-Bama.
Brain transplants in aisle four.
“”They want their people to spout racist hate speech?””
That’s what I was thinking. They mock and revile us and yet they want the same kind of people supporting her reelection?
PLEASE CA - do the right thing and send her back to CA once and for all - never to darken the doors of Congress again. Do the whole country a favor!!!
but.. I thought the Tea Party people were astroturf?
lol
They know they are toast in November.
Yeah, I’m excited about getting out and campaiging for Carly Fiorina to make you a former Senator, Babs!
Receiving handouts for your livelihood does not usually engender excitement.
I love the idea of Babs supporters running hither and yon proclaiming their pride in ObamaCare! Hell yeah, that’s the ticket! Maybe she ought to urge them to preach the gospel of gay marriage, late-term abortion, and all the other leftie garbage that people don’t like.
So after a year of telling us how astroturf the tea-party movenment was, the Democrats want to organize phony rallies with fake enthusiasm.
"I need you to be excited - as excited as the Tea Party people are," Boxer implored a morning gathering of 1,000 Democrats. "Will you be with me?"
While Boxer will run in part on her role in helping Obama pass health care reform, Alex Pader, a 24-year-old community college organizer from Sacramento, said that will be a harder sell on young people who don't follow politics closely.
"We will rein in the Wall Street barons and thieves who almost brought this country to its knees," shouted Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Los Angeles, to the full convention hall. "We're Democrats. We do not have to create a fake party organizing around fake issues."
"Democrats weren't going to dress up in silly costumes like Tea Party members," said Auros Harman, a 32-year-old delegate from Mountain View. "But Democrats in Silicon Valley will be doing the groundwork. People will show up."
"So the Democrats are going to counter the most organic grassroots political movement in modern American history with the same old manufactured labor-backed machine that they have used to control politics for the last four or five decades?" countered state GOP spokesman Mark Standriff. "I'll take those odds."
