This just in from Doug Powers at MichelleMalkin.com:

According to Harry Reid, the Tea Party will disappear when the economy fully recovers.

As if the Tea Party were some economic movement.

Mr. Reid, I have some news for you. The thrust of the Tea Party is two-fold:

1) The Tea Party is an ANTI-TAX movement. This means that it will exist for as long as taxes are too high, and continue beyond that for as long as you clowns in DC continue to threaten to put or keep them there. Furthermore, it is likely to continue to exist far beyond its current scope as a preventive measure.

2) The Tea Party is a PRO-CONSTITUTION movement. This means that it will exist as long as Americans allow anti-Constitution nutbags like yourself to take office. Again, it is likely to continue beyond its current scope as a preventive measure.

As the duly elected Senator from Nevada, sir, you have a responsibility to America, to Nevada, and quite frankly to the Tea Party (given its emphasis on the Constitution) to stay within the boundaries of the Constitution as you continue to enjoy the privilege of holding that office. Your track record is demonstrably dismal.

Wishful thinking, indeed. We may have internal issues, but the Tea Party is here to stay, Harry. Get used to it.
