The term "tea-bagger" is like uttering the "n" word, some say. Though he aspires to promote civility, evidence has surfaced thatPresident Obama has added "tea-bagger" to his public lexicon, though it's considered a cheap and tawdry insult by "tea party" activists. Watchdogs at Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) barked when they saw the proof, tucked in a sneak peak of Newsweek columnist Jonathan Alter's new book, "The Promise: President Obama, Year One," to be released May 18. Indeed, it appears the president joined certain partisan critics and the liberal media, and took the tea-bag plunge

Post Partisanship from Obama
Obama told a fundraiser in Miami that he's cut taxes, contrary to the claims of protesters.
"You would think they'd be saying thank you," he said.
At that, many in the crowd at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts stood and yelled, "Thank you!"

Tea Partiers smarter than Congress
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 52% of U.S. voters believe the average member of the Tea Party movement has a better understanding of the issues facing America today than the average member of Congress. Only 30% believe that those in Congress have a better understanding of the key issues facing the nation.
When it comes to those issues, 47% think that their own political views are closer to those of the average Tea Party member than to the views of the average member of Congress. On this point, 26% feel closer to Congress.
Finally, 46% of voters say that the average Tea Party member is more ethical than the average member of Congress. Twenty-seven percent (27%) say that the average member of Congress is more ethical.

It's a good start
The "Millennial Generation" of young voters played a big role in the resurgence of the Democratic Party in the 2006 and 2008 elections, but their attachment to the Democratic Party weakened markedly over the course of 2009. The Democratic advantage over the Republicans in party affiliation among young voters, including those who "lean" to a party, reached a whopping 62% to 30% margin in 2008. But by the end of 2009 this 32-point margin had shrunk to just 14 points: 54% Democrat, 40% RepublicanIt is still a sad state that so many people are brainwashed into the notion that socialism actually works. But it's better than I expect considering that high schools, college and the media are predominantly liberal. It takes a lot of courage to think on your own and go against the grain.
This is a testament to the Tea Party movement. With out them a lot of people wouldn't have got the message and been educated to the conservative movement. I've said this thousand of times before, this is a center right country. The American public is attracted to a conservative view. They just need to here it articulated correctly. Which the tea partyers are doing.
This is what the Republican Party and the conservative has lost over the years. They did a great job getting their message out in 1994. But they stopped getting their message out after they were elected to a majority in Congress. They made the mistake thinking they had a mandate and could stop educating the public. I just hope, after the conservatives take over Congress in 2010 and 2012, that they don't stop educating the public.

Tea Party and the Republican Party
They were so outraged by the socialistic views of Obama, they formed, rallied and took down a perceived popular newly elected President. With out the up swell of conservatism from the Tea Partyers who knows what we might have now. It was bad enough we got the "porkulus" bill that has done far more damage to this country and has prolonged the recession but with out the Tea Party movement we very well could already have Socialized Medicine, Cap and Trade and be going down the road to full fledged Socialism.
With all that said, if the Tea Party Movement is serious about stopping Obama's socialist agenda they must join the Republican Party. But not just join it. They must take it over. Vote out all the week kneed Republican elitists like John McCain or Charlie Crist. Which is well under way in both cases. They must take over the leadership from the fake conservatives like Mitt Romney and my exodus the likes of Colin Powell. It won't be an easy job, but that's what needs to be done.
If the Tea Party tries to form their own political party they will not only fail they will also help destroy this great nation of ours. This country has already seen what happens when a 3rd party candidate runs. We elect a President like Bill Clinton. That will happen over and over again. It sounds great in theory to start another political party but it isn't possible. It will just lead to the total opposite of what we all strive for, freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The Tea Party movement has already done so much good for this country. Forming a 3rd party will put and end to all the good it has done. The election season is right around the corner. Now is the time to join the Republican Party and in every primary vote out the likes of the Crist's and vote in the Rubio's. That's how we will save this nation.
