FOXNews.com - Tea Party Jab to Be Zapped From Captain America Comic, Writer Says
The guy is part of a “think tank” that studies a systematic effort (Why is that in quotes? Because Fox has to give credit to a phrase they couldn’t come up with?) to subvert a Right Wing movement and he is “perplexed” by anti-tea party statements?
Get back in the tank…you might be getting close.

Can the Tea Party Have a Lasting Political Impact? - Newsweek.com
I am sorry, you can’t be a relevant grassroots political movement that is anti-establishment if you charge $550 to go to church. That’s not how these things work.
I am convinced that the “tea party” movement will fade as quickly as it came into focus if any one of the very fickle foundations it stands on start to crack.

In the end, chairman Michael Steele persuaded the Republican National Committee not to require that any candidate hoping to receive help from the party promise to support eight out of ten principles in the so-called Reagan Resolution.
The “Reagan Resolution” allows for only two apostasies per candidate. By my count, Ronald Reagan committed at least four. Good thing Chairman Steele made the whole thing voluntary. It would be sad to think that the Republican Party no longer has room for Ronald Reagan.
