Even as they publicly condemn Tea Party Republicans as hostage-taking legislative thugs, the truth is that some Democrats are quietly jealous of them. Think of it: The Tea Party gang gets to intimidate party leaders, threaten legislation, block nominees, shut down the government and default on the debt if they don’t get their way. They cause major trouble.

Writing at Politico, Bill Scher dreams of a day when the left can mobilize like the Tea Party did. Interesting notion and perhaps he will get back to us when the progressives have, in a couple of mid-term blowouts, changed the nation’s political map.
The comforting notion on the left and in the media that the Tea Party was nothing more than a political temper tantrum and not to be taken seriously … not so comforting any longer.
