Tea Party Movement Beats Out Reid and Pelosi

100210topEditor’s Note – The article touches on the level of commitment within the tea party movement and it captures the very essence of what has made the movement so successful.

Even with all the internal turmoil and other flaws, the passion and  level of involvement by those who make up this movement is unmatched by either the Republicans or the Democrats.

As for Congress, the Nobles that make up the 111th Congress don’t seem too concerned about being the lowest rated in history.  The jury is still out on how the citizens of this country will react to this indifference.  Check back on November 3rd. 

Reader warning – This story presents a great opportunity for the FL TEA Party political party to further confuse voters by misleading them to think the poll is referring to them instead of the movement.  As anyone who is engaged already knows, the FL TEA Party has absolutely nothing to do with the tea party movement itself.

 

Tea Party Movement Beats Out Reid and Pelosi

By Scott Payne
Washington Examiner

Building off of my earlier post about the viability of Tea Party candidates, via The Hill, I see that NBC and the Wall Street Journal have a poll out showing that the Tea Party movement has better approval rating than either Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid (though not the President or the Democratic Party).

The Tea Party movement also scored higher than the Republican Party, so it seems safe to assume that it would have beat out McConnell and Boehner had their approval ratings been tested.

The months (years? decades?) old gripe about Congress is that, despite all its high flown rhetoric, it continues catering to special interests over the desires and needs of average Americans. So in essence, Members of Congress continually say one thing and then wind up doing another. Whether that is due to political timidity or the realities of the political process, the result winds up being a lack of credibility that is significantly hampering those Members.

And the midst of the worst recession in recent history is the last time a Member of Congress wants to appear duplicitous.

If there is one thing that the Tea Party movement does well, it is counter that very perception about itself. Whether you agree or disagree with the basic tenets of the movement, few people have any misconceptions about where it and its members stand on various issues. Nor is there much doubt that Tea Party members and candidates will follow through on those beliefs, if given the chance.

While I think it remains fair to say that a majority of Americans probably don’t hold the same beliefs as the Tea Party movement, the degree of commitment that the movement demonstrates towards those beliefs comes off as an unmitigated advantage in this political and economic environment. Members from both political parties would do well to take note of this fact.
