Whoda thought that the Democrats are backing the Tea Party?

Even the New York Times is calling out the Democrats for using corrupt and dirty tricks.

Snippet-

ORLANDO, Fla. — Seeking any advantage in their effort to retain control of Congress, Democrats are working behind the scenes in a number of tight races to bolster long-shot third-party candidates who have platforms at odds with the Democratic agenda but hold the promise of siphoning Republican votes.

Wade C. Vose, a lawyer for Tea Party activists who say Mr. Guetzloe hijacked their movement, issued a subpoena to Representative Alan Grayson, a Democrat with ties to Mr. Guetzloe.

The efforts are taking place across the country with varying degrees of stealth. And in many cases, they seem to hold as much risk as potential reward for Democrats, prompting accusations of hypocrisy and dirty tricks from Republicans and the third-party movements that are on the receiving end of the unlikely, and sometimes unwelcome, support.

It's a decent enough strategy and it tends to work.

If you are the Democrats, you don't want the GOP to win, so, in tight races, you get the word out for the third party nominee.

Because let's get real, the TPM are just the GOP with a new name. That's all that has happened. So, while the GOP is fooling people with the whole TPM charade, the Democrats not so secretly bolster a real third party candidate and while doing that, make sure that the GOP/TPM candidate doesn't receive those votes.

Yeah, next election cycle we are thinking of running some open socialists and communists and call them Democrats.

You know, being HONEST and all instead of the corrupt practice of lying about what one believes.

Oh come on get real. We all know Democrats are not Socialist or Communists, you know that and I know that. We also know Republicans aren't Fascists and the Tea Party isn't Theocrats. Can we get back to reality already and leave the petty name calling for school children??

Am I alone in thinking that you're nothing more than a Republican party shill?

You seem hell bent on attacking the Left/Democrats while pretending that things are all rosy on the other side.

politics as usual when your losing throw everything in including the kitchen sink and keep hounding them til they get what they want.

they tried to the past two years to marginlize the teaparty movement and the republicans they called them every name in the book to no avail americans have wised up to it all.

now dirty politics to repeat history of ross perot and ralph nader the past success of those 3 rd party candidate did work to the democrats advantage.

all this is setting the stage for 2012 history will repeat itself but this time something different has happened we know what its all about and we all see the tricks they are trying to pull.

my money this time is on americans having their eyes open to crony politics

Democrats seeking ways to win through third parties and tea party affiliate individuals? This is nothing new. The Democratic party is not an exclusively liberal political party, it consists of a significant number of conservative and moderate representitives who cater to conservative districts and states. This is why the public option was not passed, this is why you have a fair amount of Hillary supporters/ blue dogs or reagan democrats as I seem em' participating in tea parties. It has always been like this and can't say I'm surprised, especially considering that there is a tight race going on.

Heck the GOP and some conservative groups promised they would not move to have medicare privatized. Not really conservative is it? But politicians will cut around the edges, and sometimes deeper, to gain the vote.

I do not know, you got a mouse in your pocket or a couple? Looks like a couple gave you stars.

No, I am the Constitutional Libertarian movement taking over the Republican party. Us social liberals/fiscal conservatives (the best of both worlds) have seen the socialists/communists take over the Democrat party and run that into the ground, thought we would purge the Republican party of the RINO's and actually return this country to it's roots of Individual freedoms and responsibilities.

If you have not seen the truth that this country consists of approximately 50% conservatives, 30% moderates and 20% socialists/communists, you are still living in a fabricated world brought on by the group think perpetuated by the meme that is Indoctrination U.

Give this video a look see. Quite informative. Do you know that group think and fear driven silence is an evil that permeates our colleges and universities? See how the same thing is going on now in the media and the politically correct enforced country the leftists are creating. Better not have a thought outside that group think. Better not have an opinion of your own. They will attack you too.

I visited your first link which is to a Right-wing blog I presume and when I clicked the link within to go to the Democratic Socialists website with the list it 404 Not Found. How can I trust a right-wing website with a broken link??

Might I also add that for a list of so-called 'Socialists' the only true Social Democrat besides Bernie Sanders was not even on the list.

A link to the Congressional Progressive Caucus is supposed to be Socialist/Marxist?? You do know that politics are not centered around you and whatever you believe.

Using your political-centric viewpoint then we must also conclude that Tea Partiers are Theocrats and the GOP are Fascists, well that was easy!!

I can call people names, give you left-wing links and say I am right too!!

Well since you did not bother to look at the blog, here is the link to the information they provided.

www.scribd.com...
From a DSA member and the site I am linking now.

Hmmm, would you looky here, the site it came from has been taken down and this notice posted-

www.americansocialistvoter.org...

This website is under reconstruction due to the amount of hits and the tall tales from both left and right that have taken this information out of its original context and misrepresented it from public lists that can be found also on Wikipedia.org so have fun abusing each other there because neither capitalist parties would not know a socialist if s/he were standing in front of you.

Yeah, the progressives are not socialists.

Nope. Do you have anymore tall tales for me?

Hey, I am a "right wing" Anarchist at heart, but more a True Blood Libertarian Constitutionalist.

Why is it that the Progressives do not like to have their beliefs described? Maybe, because they do not want anyone to know?

Funny you bring up Bernie. I wonder how many times the "progressives" vote with Bernie? 95% or 100%.
