Democrats Launch Suicide Mission to Equate Tea Party with GOP
In a move that can only be understood as a fundamental misreading of this year’s political landscape, the Democratic National Committee has announced that it will accomplish in three months a goal that has eluded Republican strategists for over a year: uniting the GOP with the Tea Party movement before the 2010 midterm elections.
At a time when only a handful of Republican lawmakers are willing to identify themselves with the Tea Party’s call for lower taxes and smaller government, the campaign head of the Democratic Party is trying to convince millions of energized activists that they – despite their protests – are really Republicans at heart.
As proof, DNC Chairman Tim Kaine stated that, if elected, Republicans would work to enact laws favored by the Tea Party, including repeal of the Democrats’ takeover of health care. But Kaine forgot to mention that a Rasmussen Reports poll as of July 26 found that 58% of all voters favor repeal. That number is holding steady months after ObamaCare’s final passage. If repealing the president’s signature domestic agenda item gets 60% support, it’s puzzling that his handpicked national fundraiser wants to highlight that fact.
It’s almost as if the liberals in charge of ramming through the president’s socialist agenda are completely out of touch with the frustrations of everyday Americans.
