Dick Morris on Sean Hannity, 2/28/11:
We may at long last have a way to liberate our nation from the domination of those who should be our public servants but instead are frequently our union masters and free our politics from their financial power…What is at stake here really is freeing our schools so that we could keep good teachers and fire bad ones, freeing our state government so we don’t have high local taxes (and exactly how are those good teachers going to be paid?) and obliterating the financial power base of the Democratic Party.
The money quote is underlined above. This attack on collective bargaining is not about helping kids. It’s about establishing what amounts to a one-party system. Eliminate the power of unions and the G.O.P., with its corporate backing, gets to run things pretty much unopposed.
These people do not grasp the most basic principle of an open society – equal access to the political process as a voter and as a candidate.

You might want to get that memory of yours checked, Jeff, as this shit is why I don't take you seriously.
So when Sharron Angle and Rand Paul win next week, what happens to your theory here?

Date: 2/3/11 02:28 (UTC)Second link, a great question that you didn't answer, tellingly. At no point does he claim she's not part of the movement. Fail.
Third link, again a challenge to your ridiculously broad brush.
Fourth, my incorrect prediction about Angle means what, exactly?
Fifth link is the same as the first.
So, again, anything? Anything at all? Or is this just some elaborate fantasy?

Because you are actually doing what I'm talking about. I'm pointing out what the Tea Party is actually doing and you're dismissing the Tea Party's own actions as not really done by the Tea Party.
As I recall people were quick after Reid won to say "Angle was not the Tea Party Candidate" but you were both claiming she was and she'd win back then.

Date: 2/3/11 02:38 (UTC)Given their patron saint from Seward's Folly nominated her over the guy who would have ensured a GOP victory there, and given Sean Hannity's whining and giving her ample time on his radio show, given how she along with Sharron "Second Amendment Remedies" Angle, Carl "Horse Porn" Paladino, Joe "Arrest that man" Miller were all of them champions of the great, new populism........
It's nice to see that the Right Wing is just as good at the circular firing squad as the Left is. If one or the other wing were ever to get over that shit the one that did would be very dangerous. Fortunately humans are too stupid for that.

Who was quick to say it? Name names. Do it.
