Harry Reid needs to get down on his knees every night for the rest of his life and thank whatever gods he believes in that the leadership of the Republican Party despises the Tea Party Movement as much as he does. But for their self serving decision not to support Reid's opponent - even minimally - he would be unemployed and this country would be a lot better off.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Fact it, Reid is the one who'll fade away.
He needs to go home and hug his pomegranates.

I just love how all the dims continue to marginalize the TP. I guess last November's election wasn't a wake up call after all.

Harry and a lot of other Politicians/Talking heads just don't get it. The tea party will fade away when politicians finally realize that you can't continue to spend far more than you take in and that raising taxes won't fix the problem. Until that day comes Dirty Harry is going to have to learn to live with them.

So the dims continue to think that this is a third "партийный"? As in "Bull Moose Party"? I think they and Dingy Harry miss the point, but then again how can we expect a career politician to see beyond party politics and understand that it is about WE the people?

It seems the Tea Party continues to generate a lot of controversy and divided opinions; I'm not sure anybody can predict where it'll go.

And so it goes...

While the media loves to point out how unpopular the tea party is they are often pretty quiet when it comes to discussing the fact that 42% of American's strongly disapprove of the job the President is doing. Of the 22% that strongly oppose the tea party I wonder what percentage of that group identify themselves as very liberal. If I had to guess that figure would be some where in the 90% range which only goes to prove that no matter what position you take there will be 20% of the electorate who hates what you believe.

I would expect a good number of the 22% that strongly disapprove of the Tea Party is the RINO Leadership in Washington.

The TP will eventually go away if the country gets back on track...if we start acting fiscally resp. and have less Govt. intrusion.
It's not really a party, it is made up of normally quiet working Americans that would rather go about their own business.
Harry is correct but it will only happen when guys/gals like Harry are diminished or gone under (politically

It really doesn't what you name a group of bitchers in this Country.
It only matters how far you try to push them.

And how far said group is willing to be pushed before standing up.

I understand it's a movement made up of Republicans, Democrats and Independents.
That said, I don't think they'll really go away. People like Pelosi, Reid et al always need to be watched.
