Why all the angst against the TEA Party Movement?

Same reason for the structured angst against Sarah Palin . . . . . . the Far Left is afraid of the TEA Party Movement. Those in the know understand that the TEA Party Movement played a most influential role in the 2010 elections. They know that the Movement has not lost "steam," that their ranks have actually grown. What the Left does not understand, however, is the degree of anger that continues within the conservative community. In this case, anger will convert to commitment.

What is seldom reported is the role the Movement played in the 2008 election. It is estimated that 5 million conservatives, fully disgusted with the Establishment GOP and its candidate, John McCain, stayed away from the voting booth. That will not be the case come 2012.

Understand that the conservative message (to the GOP) of the 2008 election was this: "Try winning an election without us."

That was followed by the message in the 2010 election: "Anyone still think we are kidding?"

Obama won in2008 by only 7% of the popular vote. Assuming a similar election demographic, that winning percentage would have been reduced to 3% if conservatives had not rejected the Establishment GOP.

Here is the question of the moment: does anyone believe that Obama has not lost that 3% "majority?"

I believe that as things stand today, Obama would lose the 2012 election in a landslide . . . . unless, of course, someone similar to John McCain was to represent the GOP, again.

Point of post: this post is about keeping the Obama Election Debacle front and center.
