But I did like the attempt at leftist disarming humour, since I am very not left wing, I find it funny when american republicans fall to that base insult attempt like somehow watching a "left" leaning news outlet makes you a communist  . |
Too bad I'm not a republican, I don't care much for either party, but I am for candidates that have real fiscally responsibility, although few and far in between and the crap the democrats have been doing really pisses me off.
I get a lot of my news from RSS feeds on my blackberry, Fox, MSNBC, Reuters, CNN, ABC, AP and yahoo are my staples

I'll tell you why the Tea Party is such a threat of the Status Quo, they have no leadership, they have something like 2800 local groups, they have simple core values that are hard not to argue with and they back candidates that take out even republican incumbents. They have formed a caucus I believe, but they have been put together in a way thats hard for the liberals to attack, all they seem to have is the race card, which when played as much as they have been just makes them look silly.
Even the Washington post ran that study about their signs that found they are indeed NOT racist, that the media has been putting all their focus on just 5% of their signs, 5%, thats pretty low.
I also read that they are planning on keeping pressure on the people they help get into office, so hopefully this is a game changer
