This is laugable! Rove and Bush "far right?" OMG! Well, I suppose from the extremes of the left (where appparently you reside) it might seem so.

How about defining your terms? What do you define as "far right?"

What is it about the Tea Party, comprising many of your neighbors, I'm sure (though you may not be aware of it) do you feel is "off the charts."

Do you even know what the Tea Party is about?

Do you think the Constitution of the United States is "off the charts?"

Should politicians swear an Oath to defend and uphold the Constitution?

What do you think is the purpose of the Constitution?

What does the Constitution do?

I hate to make a Godwin comparison, but he reminds me a lot of Goebbels. Both knew how to motivate large groups to their ends, to use propaganda, to create a spectacle and master the Big Lie, and both were incredibly smart if flawed by their search for power.
Yup. As long as the money and power are there for Rove, he could care less which Republican wins. All he wants is a win.
All the professional campaign managers in both parties are just like him. They are all like profesional boxers; they don't care who their opponent is when they climb into the ring. Their only job is to knock the other guy out if they can. If they can't, they slip down a notch but don't quit the sport until they can't take the blows any more.

Ahh Rove. "Is this math you do as a republican to make yourself feel better?" Brilliant!

Tea Party used to be about the Constitution, but now it is about political hackery.

"The organizers of American Crossroads hope to bring electoral victory to the Republican Party by defeating unelectable tea party candidates in GOP primary races. The new super PAC, called the Conservative Victory Project, will be run by American Crossroads president Steven Law and is supported by former Bush political adviser Karl Rove.


Karl Rove launches initiative to keep tea party candidates out of elections | The Raw Story
too bad tempest doesnt understand paryties and they sometimes overlap

republican is NOT the same as conservative...or neo-con's.....or the workers party....or teaparty

just as liberals are NOT the same as democrats, of the greenpartys

although some things do overlap..the parties are not the same

just as a liberal is far left and VERY SIMULAR to a socialist, doesnt mean they are fully socialist/communist

Oh, the "Tea Party" is racist now? How so? Can you give some examples of "racisim" in the Tea Party?

I don't think anyone else can, but maybe you know something.

Oh, well, perhaps Herman Cain is racist. After all, he was CEO of "Godfather Pizza." That sounds "racist" to me!

How can they be racist when they hold up such lovely signs, with no grammatical errors, as this?:

Maybe that guy just works for the Texas educational system.

"Widely known?" "Common knowledge?" Really? "Ultra right wing hacks?"

So, what is the measure you use (your "chart") to show that "Tea Party" supporters and activists (those are probabably the ones Barack Obama claims are "clining to their guns and religion," and bitter) are "ultra right wing?" What do you think they believe?

Our Constitution must be "ultra right wing," in your view, because the "Tea Party" believes it should be upheld, and our laws (and the laws governing government, the Constitution) obeyed. Yep ... pretty radical!

You know what really matters? PERCEPTION. Apparently the Tea Party appears to be racist. And that's what counts when it comes to election time.

Most people also perceive the current Tea Party members to be homophobic, to be older and not well educated (keep your socialist hands off my Medicare, remember that?), to be birthers among many other very rigid and regressive positions.

Remember, it's PERCEPTION which influences voters. The Tea Party is perceived to be a group of old white racists.
