And as the current playbook demands, anti-Koch Industries (the new Exxon) also. The take-home quote:
“I don’t think you want the Tea Party running your community, running your family, running your government.”
In case you need a reminder:

Tea Party Patriots Mission Statement and Core Values
Mission Statement
The impetus for the Tea Party movement is excessive government spending and taxation. Our mission is to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize our fellow citizens to secure public policy consistent with our three core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.

“I don’t think you want the Tea Party running your community, running your family, running your government.”
Well that's good, because I'm pretty sure the Tea Party doesn't want to run any of those things, either.
Tom Osterman| 9.26.10 @ 3:04PM
And we for dang sure don't want the Democrats running them.
SteveP| 9.26.10 @ 3:14PM
Um, there is no Tea Party to run the government or anything else. There IS the T.E.A. party movement which is comprised of independent T.E.A. party groups that rally for limited government (see: our founding documents) and support candidates who express the same principles.

I don't want commies like Van Jones running the government-- that's for sure!

Van Jones, the Liberal/Commie gift that keeps on giving!! Every time he opens his big fat Commie mouth, another leaf falls off the Democratic Party tree, never to grow again. Keep talking, my Marxist friend, keep killing the Democratic Party one voter at a time.

If you listen to what Van Jones says, you are already a LIBTARD.

For the Tea Party to have staying power it is important to not just get candidates elected in November. Tea Party supporters need to get grass roots control of the Republican party. To get the party to be truly responsive to the TP agenda, TP members need to become county committemen, district leaders and such.

Van Jones: "I'm African. Of course I love the earth."
I don't know about you, Van, but I'm sick of all the race baiting from self-proclaimed commie rat bastards like yourself. It's too bad your hero and fellow socialist Obama has used the same failed technique of divide and conquer.
The American people are on to you. On November third, you defeated Dem roaches will scurry to some place warm and moist, like a Great Dane's steaming turd.

Imagine if Van Jones said that we should get rid of Social Security, Medicare, The VA, Education, employment initiatives, get rid of the minimum wage, give away all our rights to corporations so they can do what ever they want even if it really endangers our health, Let all the health insurance companies go back to being able to cancel us at any time and refuse to pay for any health cost,Privatize the PD's and FD's, and finally take campaign money from FOREIGN investors!?! Imagine if he said that?! But he didn't; Guess what- That is what the REPUBLICAN/TEA PARTY wants to do, that is their agenda. Think freely, just for a second....

The tea party and the candidates running for the tea party want to abo.ish social security, abolish the minimum wage, abolish public education, do away with Medicare. They are for big business and against the middle American way of life. They are a dangerous group and anyone who actuall works for a living needs to get to the polls in two weeks and keep these nuts out of Washington.
