>LINKER DEFENDS TEA PARTY IN WAKE OF VITRIOLIC NAME CALLING FROM UNION LEADER; DECRIES FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP
(Ridgewood, NJ): On Wednesday, conservative Republican U.S. Senate candidate from New Jersey Ian Linker issued the following statement defending the Tea Party movement after hateful statements from Teamsters President, James Hoffa, Jr.
The Left’s name-calling campaign against the Tea Party movement, publicly embraced on Monday by the President of the United States himself, now sadly represents business as usual in Washington. The silence in response to this blather from career politicians has been deafening. The incendiary rhetoric has sunk to a new low and represents nothing more than a desperate attempt by the Left to cling to power and a failed political philosophy.
Instead of talking about how distasteful Teamster boss James Hoffa, Jr. is for declaring “war” on the Tea Party, or how desperate Rep. Maxine Waters (D-FL) must be for telling the Tea Party to “go to hell,” or how the Vice President of the United States put his inability to lead on full display when he failed to condemn certain Democratic members of Congress for referring to the Tea Party as “terrorists”, the Tea Party must stay on message. Their agenda, which includes advocating for individual freedom for all Americans, tax and regulatory reform to facilitate job creation and economic growth, as well as championing free markets, limited government, a strict interpretation of the Constitution, and a balanced budget, is simply better for America than anything espoused by the career politicians in Washington.
The Left is horrified because the Tea Party’s agenda and principles represent everything they have fought so hard to destroy for decades. How do they react to this threat to their power? With name calling, calls to arms, and thuggery. The Tea Party must not be intimidated. The Tea Party must not be discouraged. The future of America is at stake.
