The results of the primary elections that occurred on September 14th certainly resulted in outcomes that patted the Tea Party on the back for its efforts. Although it was important that the voters showed who were their favorites, the post-election outbursts by the liberal/socialist/progressives are greater evidence of how much the Tea Party is feared by a lot, if not all, of Obama backers.
Among the descriptive terms use by American leftists while attacking the Tea Party, the most common slur has been the use of the term "racist". It clearly appears that the Democrats are sending a message that "you are a racist if you don't back Obama". Panic is the only way to correctly describe the feelings of those expressing this negative sentiment.
Today an article appeared on a liberal Internet news site in which the Tea Party was called: 1) guilty of racism; 2) in total disregard of reality; 3) selfish; 4) gun ownership enthusiasts; and 5) really interested only in raising money. Trying to understand these comments, the only rational explanation is that the real issues facing our nation just cannot be approached without serious indictments being made against the efforts of Obama and the complete failure of these same White House actions. Obama fans cannot face the truth so they are restricted to slander.
More and more the advocates of the Tea Party are expressing that the status quo in the political arena is absolutely not acceptable. Both of the major political parties, Republican and Democrat, are slowly but surely learning that the desires of the Tea Party cannot be ignored. The penalty for scoffing at these loosely organized and very worried Americans waving Tea Party banners is an involuntary retirement from elected government positions.
The next group of goals that the Tea Party will face, and will win, are on November 2, 2010 as both Houses of Congress are reclaimed by conservative American voters. The only real worry is if the intensity of Tea Party interest and activity can be maintained until November of 2012.

Are you at all concerned that the growth of the Tea Party and the challenging of more mainstream Republican candidates by these Tea Party backed candidates? It seems that it may be a obstacle in the way of the ultimate goal of getting rid of the current administration.
