Shouldn't Dems be as worried (or more) about the rise of the "Tea Party" brand as Repubs?

Admittedly, there are some loonies in the Democratic Party - they should be in the Tea Party (What a joke of a name!)

But,....

if this Loony Party becomes a reality, many of the more moderate Republicans will flock to the Dems.

And then the GOP will be no more, and pretty soon all these old 'Tea Party' fogeys will die off.

When the far left loonies in the Democratic Party start to notice all these 'Obama Republicans' all over the place, they will surely throw a tantrum and start their own 'We are the Conscience of the Nation Party'

Only then will the US be back on track to be the greatest nation on the planet.

Patience, folks, patience.

We suffered through 8 years of Bush, didn't we?

They are not pulling votes from Democrats nearly as much as from Republicans. They are far to radical to appeal to a much larger group of votes. They are also a very dis-unified group. They only agree on what to oppose but have little agreement on an alternative. There are even two tea party groups fighting against each other and the movement is barely a year old.

They will most help, not hurt, democrats just like they did in NY.

Because they dismiss it as a fad, something that will fade away. They think the American people are too stupid to notice how radically progressive they're becoming. Wrong! Anyway, I do think the Tea Party Movement will do damage to the Democratic Party in 2010 and 2012, but the majority of the damage will be dealt to the Republicans since they are SUPPOSED to be conservative (which is a laughable statement).

Obama observed as for bipartisan participation in being of provider to the folk; no longer their very own self serving hobbies and re elections. If Republicans refuse to sit down and be aired stay for all to work out who's extremely no longer engaging in doing the fundamental good for and of the folk, then Obama would be remarkable in declaring that those opposing help of the folk would be observed as "obstructionists." i would be observing this air stay and desire something of the international to work out who's extremely doing something significant for this u . s ., and the Republicans had greater powerful get on board and artwork mutually; battling and bickering does not do something yet tutor they are performing much less of a parent of the folk and greater an empty healthful for the corporate hobbies that foyer for their very own hobbies. convey on the stay coverage of the talks between the events and convey the fundamental good of the folk who make up this u . s ..

It is far past the time for people to realize that they have more choices than Democrat or Republican, especially since *both* parties have been mismanaging the country for decades.

No. When it comes down to it, the teabaggers will only take votes away from Republicans
