"This is a 'Tea Party Downgrade.'"

[jenmito]

I HOPE that we FINALLY have a Democratic talking point (re: the S&P downgrade) . I heard this line from John Kerry on MTP and from David Axelrod on FTN today. I hope to hear more of it. It can stick.

1. Kick

Used that line yesterday!

2. And I JUST got an email from MoveOn titled, "Tea party downgrade."

I guess it IS catching on!

3. One small thing,

Democrats also need to let people know that while the Tea Party is a fringe element of the GOP, the GOP is also largely responsible for this mess.

Whether people think the Tea Party is a legitimate party or not, a Republican is a Republican period. None of them should get passes.

Will check the interviews later. :kick: :patriot:

7. This is not meant to undermine

what Senator Kerry or Axelrod said, but to add to the mix and something for them and the DNC to think about. :hi:

10. Well its just honest truth telling

so good for them. If the debt ceiling had passed cleanly like the dozens of others in the past the S&P would not have downgraded anything I'll bet. This was a manufactured crisis and now we all pay for it.

11. TPM has this on its front page:

Kerry Slams 'Tea Party Downgrade'

[politicasista]

12. If he is right that why are some on our side

that staunchly support the President blaming him and McCain for this mess? :shrug:

[jenmito]

13. HA! Good. And CNN's Don Lemon showed both Kerry and Axelrod using that line,

declaring that the Dem. talking point. :)

[flamingdem]

14. Good on Axelrod, glad they are covering it

because it's usually 4 to 1 in favor of Repuke talking points on CNN
