Notable Quote – The Fix: The Democrat Party is even MORE Extremist than the TEA Party

…True tea party members don’t represent a majority of the House GOP or the Senate GOP — not even close, in fact — but their influence and the party’s increasing emphasis on conservative purity have made them hold such sway that Americans see little daylight between folks like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) or Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). People in Washington may know those members are quite different, but that doesn’t mean it’s the conventional wisdom outside D.C.

Now, all of this comes with one giant caveat that we think is worth emphasizing.

And that is this: As much as people think today’s GOP is too conservative, basically the same number see today’s Democratic Party as too liberal. While 43 percent see the Republican Party as too conservative, slightly more (46 percent) say the Democratic Party is too liberal.

So as much as the tea party may have made the GOP objectionable to a large swath of Americans, the Democratic Party has political extremism issues of its own — even without a tea party-esque movement in its ranks.

Emphasis above is mine.  I love it that there are those who think that the Democrat Party is even MORE EXTREMIST than the TEA Party!!

Harrell (Kirstein, of the NH Dem Party and Organizers for Obama Action), welcome to the Extremes….and the recognition that while the TEA Party is trying to bring the roots of the country forward (that would be American Constitutional values, the Democrat Party has been pulled ever Leftward by the New Left especially by the Progressive Caucus (you know, the 60’s radicals, socialists, and Communists that began their march through your Party YEARS before we started in on the Republican Party).

You Extremist you, embracing the foreign political philosophy born in Germany!
