Wasserman Schultz: DeMint
"Clearly Sees That The Tea
Party Is Not A Growth Industry

Real Clear Politics, by Ian Schwartz

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 12/7/2012 9:55:24 AM

"I think Senator DeMint clearly sees that the Tea Party is not a growth industry," DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said on Current TV´s "Viewpoint" tonight. "I mean, he had an election that just passed that did not see the ranks of Tea Party members expand. The Senate candidates that he expected to be very likely to join him in the Senate were rejected in red states by the voters who simply know that extremism is not the way that we need to go forward in getting our economy turned around, in reducing our

Comments:
And it appears that Boehner agrees with this miscreant.

Anything she says is just the opposite.
Just because things are quiet doesn´t mean it is all quiet.

Didn´t she mean conservative ´extremism´, since libeal extremism seems to be the democratic way of doing business?

Sorry folks she is exactly right. Maybe for the first time in her life, she stumbled on to the truth.
The speaker is firing all the conservatives from committee heads and will put the Republican party back to the go along permanent minority party it was for years. And that is what he should do, the tea party did not show up for the 2012 election, if you can’t produce move over, so he is probably right. You can’t fight the smart moves the liberals have done against the conservative. They put their party hacks in place in the media and education. They took there time built the party, while the republicans set around trying to improve the country the liberals just want to win, just for the power.

Run a candidate that supports the Tea Party and watch all of the support you get. Rember 2010...then the GOP elites decided to marginalize the Tea Party. Bye bye GOP.

She seems to think liberalism is a growth industry when it only garners about 20% of the population.

Conservatives identify about 41%, or double.

Which begs the question, why can´t republicans simply push fiscal responsibilty as the main focus of the party?

How the liberal agenda is hurting the poor, how the war on coal is increasing costs for the poor, how not using our natural resources to have low energy costs hurts tax revenues that pay for teachers, police and firefighters.

Stop the social issues and focus on growing the economy, and how those input costs affect jobs, tax revenues and how growing gov´t only means more taxes needed to pay for it - and borrowing can´t be the answer for the shortfall.

These types of ideas will naturally result in more socially conservative people gravitating towards it, but it can´t be the focus.

There´s serious speculation that DeMint is planning a run for the White House in 2016.

She´s a coward, who avoids the truth that the Tea Party stands for smaller government, fewer taxes, and more freedom. What is extremist about those ideas? I´m betting that small government resonates much better with the "middle class" than Big Government and the Demonrat party tax and spend Leftist policies.


Reply 16 - Posted by: Susannah, 12/7/2012 5:06:39 PM     (No. 9054238)

She´s right in one sense, although not the one she intended. There is no Tea Party. There are three larger groups, Tea Party Patriots, Tea Party Express, and Tea Party Nation, all of whom are squabbling amongst themselves as to which is the authentic Tea Party. Tea Party Patriots hate Tea Party Nation. Tea Party Express says it´s the only real thing. Then there are smaller splinter groups, disaffiliated from the larger ones and at odds with each other, all with different sets of priorities. The pro-life Tea Party hates the smaller government Tea Party.

This isn´t a movement; it´s become a joke.

If they´re talking about social issues, they´re not Tea Party as far as I am concerned, they´re Republicans. The libertarian Tea Partiers should drop the name and try something else if they get co-opted by the Big Government/Military Interventionist/Moral Majority wing. The whole premise of the Tea Party was fiscal responsibility - period. From the beginning I have warned Tea Party people not to associate with the GOP. They´re poison.

Colorado sheriffs seek to

file lawsuit against state

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Expands Anti-
Obesity Campaign to Museums

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids. “With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community

During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing today, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., grilled outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller about the IRS targeting a pro-life group in Iowa. "Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’" Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?” “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied. After Schock pressed him further, Miller explained that although

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

HHS:´Telework´ Gives Gov´t

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

Will real villains in IRS

Bloodletting, in the form of firings, dismissals, resignation, and expulsions, is a tribal rite in political Washington. It is most often used by the powerful on anyone less powerful as a symbolic sacrifice. Steven Miller, the now former acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, is the latest victim of ritual sacrifice. This week the Obama White House demanded his resignation to demonstrate the president’s “anger” at news that the IRS targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for added review and slow approval. Next, we’ll watch as Congress takes up the bloodletting knife.

Nice try, Mr. President. Feigning anger, firing an unknown bureaucrat and fleeing the podium won’t cut it with voters, or stop the hemorrhaging of the scandals that have spawned a Watergate-like feel around the Obama administration. There was a certain panicky look about the way the president quickly delivered a rare evening White House statement to try to quell the growing outrage over the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups. The move showed how damaging the scandal has become to Obama’s second term and maybe even his presidency. But Obama took no questions and, more importantly,

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The White House on Wednesday released 94 pages of emails between top administration and intelligence officials who helped shape the talking points about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that the CIA would provide to policymakers in both the legislative and executive branches. The documents, first reported by THE WEEKLY STANDARD in articles here and here, directly contradict claims by White House press secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the revisions of those talking points were driven by the intelligence community and show heavy input from top Obama administration officials, particularly those at the State Department.

On Thursday´s NBC Today, in a desperate attempt to deflect from the scandals engulfing the Obama administration, co-host Savannah Guthrie wondered: "I read a headline yesterday that said Republicans see blood in the water. That they see a president who´s very vulnerable politically. Is there a danger that they will overreach?" Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd agreed with the slanted premise: "There is. I mean, that´s what happened to Republicans in 1998 with Bill Clinton.

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever). When asked about the untrammeled snooping on Associated Press reporters and editors,
