Dr. Frankenstein has lost control of the beast

Tea partiers air doubts about Dick Armey


It seemed a strange fit to begin with – a former House Republican leader turned $750,000-a-year Washington lobbyist who resurfaced as perhaps the single most identifiable leader of a populist, anti-Washington movement.


And in recent weeks, Dick Armey has found himself targeted by a quiet, but concerted campaign from fellow conservatives challenging – and seeking to undermine – his status as a leader of the tea party movement.


Critics ranging from prominent conservatives to bloggers to grassroots tea party activists have called into question whether Armey’s stances on illegal immigration and social issues, his candidate endorsements and his past lobbying work are fundamentally inconsistent with the tea party movement. They also have suggested he raised the white flag too early in the fight over the Democratic healthcare overhaul and is beholden to corporate benefactors, and have accused him of trying to hijack the tea parties to serve those benefactors or his own personal political ambitions.


To be sure, some of the resentment seems to stem from jealousy over adept positioning by Armey that has put him and the small-government non-profit group he co-chairs, FreedomWorks, at the vanguard of tea party activism, which everyone on the right – from the Republican Party and its elected officials to the groups that emerged from the 1960s restructuring of the conservative movement – has jockeyed to harness.

1. The difference is Dr Frankenstein didn't intend to create a monster

I think FAUX News and the GOP had every intention of creating the monster that is now menacing us.

3. Mr. Armey has a great deal of culpability for the crimes we see being committed today by ......

..... the mouth breathers and knuckle draggers he spent considerable time and effort misleading.

4. a smug, arrogant, SOB.

And I'm trying to be kind.

Armey caused great damage when he held elective office. I guess he missed his destructive powers, so Freedumb Works was created.

5. Dick Armey is an agent-provocateur for the right-wing reactionary elite.

They want to stay in power. They are America as far as they're concerned and we're just a bunch of annoying piss ants that are disrupting their picnic.

6. jealousy...

As I stated in another post regarding whether or not the tea bag ball lickers will start a rebellion or not, they won't.

Because that "movement" is made up whole clothe of morons that all want to be leader.

First they dump dickhead armey, then they turn on one another, then they disintegrate.

1 and 2 are already happening.

If you want an example just google a bit on the minutemen morons.
