According to Willie Brown, the former mayor of San Francisco who also was the longtime speaker of the California State Assembly:
"[The Tea Party movement] will be the face ultimately of the Republican Party — and that may translate into good success. I’m warning Democrats that you’ve got to be really careful. If the tea party really does capture the Republican operation, it will be suddenly what [President Ronald] Reagan did. He took the Republican minority and added it to the disgruntled and disenchanted Democrats, particularly with the Southern strategy, and turned that into 12 years of Republican … presidencies.”This is one Democrat who understands that the Tea Party movement is a road of success for the GOP and our nation. The Tea Party movement embraces everything that made America great- freedom, liberty, protection of life, protection of private property, individual responsibility, entrepreneurship, etc- and opposes everything that the modern-day Democrat Party has come to stand for- increased government control over people's lives, increased government spending, increased government regulation, less protection of private property, less equality under the law, the crowding out of private initiative, etc.
Whether the GOP embraces the Tea Party movement is irrelevant- let the moderate GOPers and the Tea Party wing go head-to-head in the primary and let the voters choose who they like. But after that, any Tea Party movement winners of the primaries ARE the GOP now, and so the GOP and the Tea Party should both align and vote against the greater of the evils, the Democrats. Doing so will energize and invigorate the GOP and our nation, and lead to continued electoral successes. The Democrat got it right- let's embrace the Tea Party movement and fight back against attempts to demonize or slander it, and turn it into a force to be reckoned with in the coming elections.
