Democrats Plan To Link GOP, Tea Party
Democrats plan to say the GOP and the Tea Party are working from the same playbook and that neither should be rewarded in the midterm elections.

WASHINGTON (July 28, 2010)--Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine is planning Wednesday to link Republicans with the tea party activists.

DNC sources say the party's strategy is to paint the election as a choice between Democrats and a joint GOP-Tea Party plan for the country.

The sources spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of the official launch.

Democrats plan to cite tea party activists' statements and GOP support, labeling it as a "Republican-Tea Party Contract With America,” a play on the 1994 GOP Contract With America that helped Republicans win control of the House.

And do the dems really think this is going to do anything good? Most of America does not have a negative perception of the Tea Party, so why is linking them to the Republican Party bad? It's another 'grasping at straws' event by the Dems.

The only real problem with that is that the tea party activists are just as upset with republican incumbents as they are with democrats.
