Is The Tea Party’s Success Worse For The Republican Party Or Democratic Party
There is little doubt that the recent support and success of the Tea Party and its candidates is to a large degree a reaction by American parties to dissatisfaction with the direction of the country, the economy, the joblessness rate, a general malaise, and our existing government and elected officials. The question that may be far more relevant, however, is, “Is the Tea Party’s success more of a threat to the Democrats or the Republicans?”
There has been much spin on all sides of the political spectrum as well as in the news media related to this question. Republicans state that the public’s disenchantment gives them an advantage for the mid-term elections in November 2010, and that they believe they can then take control of the Congress. Some Democratic pundants, while keenly aware of the ledge they are teetering on, feel the Tea Party may actually splinter the Republican party, or give easier candidates for the Democratic candidates to run against than would the more traditional Republican party candidates. The media are also spinning this issue to support their point of view and preferences.

This is vitally important to know for once one understands the meaning behind the cleverly constructed euphemisms Democrats are so wont to use, a list that I will give momentarily, one can with accuracy identify the policy wishes and core ideology under which a Marxist Liberal Democrat operates within. The Republicans do it too, but not to the degree with which the Democrats do. In fact, it is a core part of the selling of their liberal messaging.
Don’t believe me?
