Chris Matthews delves into the reasons Tea Party Republicans, led by Dick Armey, R-TX of Freedomworks, have launched an attack on other Republicans. Last night,
Sen. Lindsey Graham, was the surprised victim of the angry vehement mob screaming that he was treasonous, unpatriotic and liberal! Anyone who has followed the hawkish Graham, will be curious as to how they could reach such a conclusion. It seems reaching across the aisle isn’t cooperation, it’s capitulation. We’re really speeding toward bi-partisan law-making now, Wheeeeeeeeeee!
Chris Matthews does a masterful job of questioning Everett Wilkinson, the Florida state coordinatorfor the tea party Patriots, who suffers from mathematical problems and an abundance of enthusiasm, still seeing millions and millions of tea party marchers! Unfortunately, he simply cannot seem to see answers to Matthew’s questions. There are many, they are skillful, and we learn much in spite of…or perhaps because of, the guest’s inadequate answers.
Alan Olsen holds the same position in Columbia, South Carolina. Question after question stumps the guest, and is answered in a revealing way much like his fellow “genuine” Republican. When he cannot supply an answer, Matthew’s laser sharp
questions reveal much. One thing Olsen does know with great enthusiasm however. “Sarah Palin would make an Awesome president!”
Something’s gotta give in this civil war of the Republican party, it’s just a shame they have to fight it and the Democrats when so much is at stake. Meanwhile,
Chris Matthews provides a terrific interview with these two representatives of what they believe are the “new Republicans.
