Tea Party is “Last Gasp of the 55 Year Old Generation Says Howard Dean
Howard Dean on Tea Party: ‘Last Gasp of the 55-Year-Old Generation’
Speaking to reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast this morning, former Vermont governor and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate Dr. Howard Dean shared his thoughts on the Tea Party.
“I think it’s the last gasp of the 55-year-old generation,” said Dean, who was also chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 2005-2009. “Older folks have seen their life change dramatically. The country’s not the same.”
Lets look at some of the photos which I snapped at the Ventura County, California 2009 Tax Day Tea Party rally.

But, Howard Dean is wrong.
Dean’s characterization of the Tea Party, however, doesn’t square with the facts. In July, USA Today reported that 23 percent of the Tea Party are non-white Anglos, while non-white Anglos make up roughly 25 percent of the total American population. Additionally, only 47 percent of the Tea Party is 55 years old and older, while 23 percent are under 35 years old. It may be a tough pill for Dr. Dean to swallow, but it seems the Tea Party is actually a fair representation, demographically speaking, of the American voting public.
I suppose at the daytime Tea Party rallys I have seen, there are a goodly number of “white hairs.”
Why?
The younger members are WORKING.
Howard Dean is simply pandering to the regional Democratic Party base = African Americans and Latinos. The Tea Pary folks who oppose the Big Government policies of President Barack Obama = RACISTS
Now, who is playing racial politics?

Day By Day September 30, 2010 – The Cheap Seats
The LEFT just cannot stand the Tea Parties and Glenn Beck getting all of the public demonstration astroturf love, now can they? So, off to Saul Alinsky land they go to copy the Tea Parties.One Nation Working Together is a social movement of individuals and organizations committed to putting America back to work and pulling America back together. Coming from a diverse set of backgrounds, experiences, beliefs and orientations, we are determined to build a more united country with good jobs, equal justice, and quality public education for all.
Here is Howard Dean, the Far Left Yeller, I mean former Democrat Presidential candidate and former Chairman of the Democrat National Committee:
And, here is a list of the sponsoring organizations, which is the usual list of Far Left Labor Unions and Left Wing organizations. Looks like these Aalinsky folks are playing catch up to the RIGHT and the Tea Party movement.
The Tea Party folks probably won’t be seen much in Washington D.C. this weekend. They are working in the grass roots and in the campaigns to affect REAL change on November 2nd.

Day By Day March 5, 2010 – That Smell
President Obama and his Democrat Party Cabal in the Congress will promise anything to get the votes to pass Obamacare. It is all or nothing – even if it ruins the prospects of fellow Democrats in the upcoming November midterm congressional elections.Passing the healthcare proposals before Congress will “hang out to dry” every Democratic incumbent running for reelection this fall, Howard Dean said Thursday.
Dean, a physician by training who’s a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), said that Democrats in Congress — and President Barack Obama — would do themselves more harm than good by passing the current healthcare bill.
“The plan, as it comes from the Senate, hangs out every Democrat who’s running for office to dry — including the president, in 2012, because it makes him defend a plan that isn’t in effect essentially yet,” Dean said during an appearance on the liberal Bill Press Radio Show.
The smell of corruption will only increase as the Easter deadline approaches. In today’s 24 hour news cycle and instant communication, all Americans will be sadly dismayed at the buying of votes.
