Unlike William Upton, I am more encouraged that Tea Partiers are resisting attempts by the flunkies and the hacks of both the GOP establishment and Conservative INC. to try and take it over. There’s no doubt that both wings of the establishment Right are trying or are going to try and co-opt the movement. A good example of this is the list of “allowed” news organizations which will be present at the so-called Tea Party convention next month: The Wall Street Journal, Fox News, Breitbart, World Net Daily, Newsmax, all the right establishment news and information outlets.
But it’s my opinion that many Tea Parties know there are shysters out there ready to pull the wool over their eyes. Many I do believe will skip the Nashville conclave because its expense alone proves that Conservative INC. is out to empty their wallets for their steak dinners and speaking fees. They can also keep the current GOP and INC. out of the Tea by supporting independent candidate Joe Kennedy in the upcoming Massachusetts special U.S. Senate election.
This of course, is not going to be a popular opinion, particularly when many believe that by voting for Brown or by giving him money they can break the Dems’ 60-vote margin in the U.S. Senate and deny them the ability to vote for a healthcare bill. They think that by voting for Brown they are preventing a socialist takeover of the country.
Actually, the socialists have been running the country since 1933 and we already have a socialized medical system whether its called Medicare for senior citizens, Medicaid for poor people or the kind of state and local socialized medical system Massachusetts has that Mr. Brown happily voted for as a state senator. Since this what the voters desired when they voted for Obama, a Democrat Congress and Mitt Romney and Scott Brown then socialism is exactly what they deserve to get. Obamacare may very well tell me I must have health insurance but my own state of Wisconsin tells me I must have auto insurance, so not much difference there. All Obamacare does is in theory cover a few more people who fall through the cracks of the existing system while giving Big Pharma the government’s stamp of approval as the New Deal did with corporate America. Call it “corporate liberalism” if you like. Massachusetts native Robert Reich certainly does.
