Tea Partiers make their ambitions clear: They want to take over the GOP
What hath Republicans wrought?
Sure, they believed, as John noted the other day, that when they were unleashing what Bill Kristol likes to call "guided populism", they were in fact opening the gates for right-wing populism. And now they're looking not only at a a phenomenon much more popular than the standard Republican brand, but a movement that is about to swallow them whole.
And the Tea Party organizers -- notably the Astroturf outfits that originated the Parties, such as FreedomWorks and Americans For Prosperity -- are making that perfectly clear. Two spokesmen for those groups -- Matt Kibbe of FreedomWorks and the AFP's Tim Phillips, went on Hardball yesterday and made this explicit:
MATTHEWS: Matt, how about third party? What about the Tea Party? Sarah Palin is kind of hard to read. She is fascinating. Let‘s face it, we‘re all fascinated with her, because she‘s exciting as a political figure right now. But she‘s talking third party. I mean, she answered the question of Lars Larson. Maybe it just came to mind, but she said, yeah, I might go third party, something like that. Would you guys knock off an incumbent Republican by going third party? You know how the vote splits. Split the right, the Dem wins.
KIBBE: The better way to do it is to take over the Republican party. Frankly, that‘s what our goal is. We need to replace the Republican establishment with fiscal conservatives that are actually willing to cut spending.
All this talk about a "third party" is just so much smokescreen. What's actually happening is that the GOP is fast becoming a full-fledged right-wing-populist entity. Which means that the latent extremism lurking out on the right's fringes for so many years is becoming its new lifeblood, such as it is.
Funny thing is, as Matthews managed to point out early in the segment, not even the Tea Partiers' supposed hero -- Ronald Reagan -- can live up to their standards:
MATTHEWS: Has there ever been a strong conservative president, for example, in your lifetime or anybody—your grandfather‘s lifetime? Who do you look to as a good role model for the tea party people?
KIBBE: Well, obviously, Ronald Reagan is the closest thing we have.
MATTHEWS: What did he do in terms of fiscal policy?
KIBBE: Oh, he—he said that we shouldn't spend money we don‘t have, and he said that the government shouldn't get involved in things that it‘s not very good at doing.
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: Yes. Have you ever checked the numbers with Reagan?
KIBBE: Well, I understand. I understand...
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: The national debt went from under $1 trillion to $3 trillion. He did more to increase exponentially the size of the debt of any president in history.
And he's your role model.
KIBBE: Well, President Obama is...
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: No, I'm asking you. I have asked you one president that you can look up to who was good at tea party politics and ideology.
KIBBE: Right. Right.
MATTHEWS: If it's not Reagan, because he clearly didn't do it, who do you look to? Coolidge? How far do you have to look back?
KIBBE: I think we need to find somebody that can meet that standard.
MATTHEWS: So, nobody has recently?
KIBBE: No, certainly not.
Ah well. Blowing off cognitive dissonance is a special teabagger trait. It just adds to their "insane" mystique.
Republicans may have thought these guys had their backs. But now they're looking with increasing worry back over their shoulders. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind, dudes.
Wall Street won't permit it.
Exactly! The "Tea Party" will onky weaken the Repubs and strengthen BRAND OBAMA, who they have selected as their sales rep in D.C.!!!
Honest question, here. I thought the Tea Party Patriots and FreedomWorks and the Tea Party Express and Rick Santelli were Wall Street backed?
If Wall Street isn't backing the Republicans, I think your analysis is right. The Republicans will stay with the money and the Tea Party will form a new party, whether the astroturf groups like it or not.
It is the "theater of the absurd". Compare political parties to pro football teams. The networks, owners, sponsors, players, etc. make money no matter who wins the game. And the fans eat up the artificial heroism and drama as if it came down from fucking heaven.
The WWF might be a better example, because all the fans KNOW the game is rigged, but they still love it.
I mean, of course it makes sense from the perspective of the rubes they get to promote these movements, but why would these companies promote a change in the party that they don't support?
They started the teaparty movement to get at Obama. It just so happened that most of the people are not stupid enough to buy into it.
The good republicans won't go along but the republican that is a hooked on fox moron, might just be stupid enough go for it! The same ones might be stupid enough to vote for palin.
It's about the controversy not the policy. Wall Street and the "Board of Directors" uses media and media driven controversy to play working people against each other. It is win/win for them. I don't care if the party is called "The Martian Moonbat Socialist Nazi League" the "Board of Directors" will direct legislation and executive action. PERIOD.
"Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind, dudes."
Best line of the day!
"They want to take over the GOP"
I hope they do. The GOP is headed for a little education. Crazy is fun to watch and even interesting on the suface but people in general (even cons) will not long suffer the lies and insanity. That's why the GOP is down in the twenties.
"I know that there are people who do not love their fellow
man, and I hate people like that! " ~ Tom Lehrer (1928 - )
For nearly four years you have had an Administration which instead of twirling its thumbs has rolled up its sleeves. We will keep our sleeves rolled up.
We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace—business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.
They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred.
I should like to have it said of my first Administration that in it the forces of selfishness and of lust for power met their match. I should like to have it said of my second Administration that in it these forces met their master.
It's hard to get the bees back into the hive once you have roused them.
Boy, that Kibbe is a dumbass. We like Ronald Reagan. Then tell him 15 $econd$ of facts. Oh... then not Reagan. Automaton.
far left loon >.<
After all, Republicans are supposed be to the right of Democrats, and I don't know that many others today could qualify.
Corruption favors the wealthy.
"Ah well. Blowing off cognitive dissonance is a special teabagger trait. It just adds to their "insane" mystique."--Neiwert
Dems do it so well too. NDC is gutting reform, Obama gets a peace prize for continuing the "never ending war on brown people". Note the word "insane" not corporately funded, ideologically misinformed, but insane.
This "insanity" is working pretty well. Couldn't it be that disgust with the Money Power Party with its two factions is making these people look for an alternative? Sure race and bigotry are part of it, but our ENTIRE CULTURE is institutionally racist.
I find myself desperately looking for common ground with the "Tea Party" and finding little. My local Green party is full of VERY egotistical and antisocial people or I would be hooked up with them.
Please let them take it over.
That alone should create more change than anything the government could ever do.
When other republicans begin to understand that they just let "crazy people" run their party they will fall in line much more quickly to a more moderate and productive group.
"more moderate and productive group"
You mean like the Dems? Hahahahahah!
Because they are SOOOOOOeffective! LOL!
The other day I heard some bozo, er, highly responsible citizen from the Dallas Tea Party (?) claim that his was an independent movement -- they weren't leaning toward the Democrats or Republicans. Of course, no one who spoke for the group ever made any pretense that any teabagger was likely to vote for anyone but the most reactionary Right Wing extremist, but that's what independence looks like these days.
Can you imagine Nixon in the tea party movement? What a great farce. Tea Party movement clearly lacks definition, logic, reason, intelligence, facts. It's all based on fear, anger, and religion. How can they attempt to shape history when they don't have a grasp of it themselves? I've had a few unwelcome run ins with this group and it was not pleasant........

Kibbe and Phillips are trying to explain that their goal is to replace the current Republican leadership with people more in line with non existent historical Republican philosophers.
Meanwhile the rabble they organized is threatening to go third party.

Ronald Reagan said...but he didn't do. As far as the gov getting involved at things the tea baggers don't think they're good at: The govt already runs Medicare and Medicaid and they run it very well. The primary problems they have come from Republican hosebags who refuse to fund them properly. God I hate these freaking dipshits.
... it ran very well until Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi torpedoed the public option in favor of dumping the whole of 'reform' into it.
If roughly half of the healthcare spending now occurs through Medicaid and Medicare, and the reform bill as now proposed expands both, why is that not progress?

there are still people out there who believe there is a such thing as a "fiscal conservative"
Kibbe: "We need to replace the Republican establishment with fiscal conservatives that are actually willing to cut spending."
Is Kibbe admitting that so-called fiscal conservatives up to this point have not been willing to cut spending? How so fiscal of them.
Cheap Labor Conservatives motto: "Borrow and spend, spend, spend. Amen"
Their *real* problem is that they finally figured out that they're didnt get a cut when the republicans looted the treasury.
They all acted like they were part of the team as if they were going to get something when everyone else was telling them they were voting against their own self-interest.
So the treasure was bled dry and so were these imbeciles. And now they're angry and blaming everyone else because they were stupid enough to vote BushCO into power.
Every time I think of these dipshits I remember the photo of little Alberto Gonzales smiling up at George when he was appointed Attorney General.
The look on his face was when Carrie was made prom queen. He didn't realize they were making him their little monkey. Instead he thought he made it to the big leagues and was a real member of the club.
And so it goes with the tea-baggers. They finally figured out they aren't part of the club. They're mad and they ain't takin' it no more!
I believe that thing about "may you live in interesting times" is meant to be a curse, right?

Ivanwald, which sits at the end of Twenty-fourth Street North in Arlington, Virginia, is known only to its residents and to the members and friends of the organization that sponsors it, a group of believers who refer to themselves as “the Family.” The Family is, in its own words, an “invisible” association, though its membership has always consisted mostly of public men. Senators Don Nickles (R., Okla.), Charles Grassley (R., Iowa), Pete Domenici (R., N.Mex.), John Ensign (R., Nev.), James Inhofe (R., Okla.), Bill Nelson (D., Fla.), and Conrad Burns (R., Mont.) are referred to as “members,” as are Representatives Jim DeMint (R., S.C.), Frank Wolf (R., Va.), Joseph Pitts (R., Pa.), Zach Wamp (R., Tenn.), and Bart Stupak (D., Mich.).
Regular prayer groups have met in the Pentagon and at the Department of Defense, and the Family has traditionally fostered strong ties with businessmen in the oil and aerospace industries. The Family maintains a closely guarded database of its associates, but it issues no cards, collects no official dues. Members are asked not to speak about the group or its activities.

This should comes as no suprise to people. Everything the Republicans have touched the past few decades has turned to shit. That's what happens when you are to incompetent to pour piss out of a boot, with the directions wrote on the heel.

But the religious force was adopted by the republicans to give us the likes of george bush. Now the adopted ones are turning on the party and what the hell can the republicans do about them? They have used them and identified with them all these years. They spoiled them with attention especially around election time. Now they are stuck with them for good or bad. The only thing is these people are motivated and you can bet they will all come out to vote next year. That's scary.
For the record, I am not one who is fascinated with anything Palin does.

The truth is that the current growing deficit has little to do with spending. It has to do with the sharp decrease in revenues. Sure, theoretically you eliminate all kinds of spending, including entitlements, but
that's something that would be totally disastrous. Which is precisely why these "cut spending" advocates are so loath to actually spell out where the spending cuts should occur.
