Bachmann's no joke
Daily Beast - The public is relentlessly force-fed her gaffes, while similar misstatements by President Obama are quickly forgiven as momentary lapses.  It's the media who are flaky-not Bachmann.

How Obama plans to clean Boehner's clock

RedState - And how we can stop that from happening despite Boehner.  By Michael Hammond, former General Counsel of the Senate Steering Committee, 1978-89.

Public overwhelmingly supports the pledge
 
National Taxpayers Union - All three parts of it, but especially the Balanced Budget Amendment, which is supported by 81% of voters, including 74% of Democrats.

Tea Party plans its own debt panel

The New York Times - Organized by FreedomWorks, the members will be chosen from 18 swing states, and will hold hearings in those states over the summer.

Contrary view: Say no to any debt ceiling increase

The Chattanoogan - A hard-hitting editorial by Mark West.  What would be the response if you personally appeared before a bankruptcy judge and promised to "Cut, Cap, and Balance"?  He would probably show you the door, call your loan, and force you into bankruptcy.

Soros behind anti-Tea Party group

WorldNetDaily - The American Dream Movement is supposed to emulate and counter the Tea Party for the Left, but it is anything but grassroots.

CHQ Poll: Won't you stay home, Chris Christie?

ConservativeHQ.com - Most conservatives see no compelling reason for him to enlarge the presidential choices already available.

Expand the presidential race?  Only Rick Perry excites

Christian Science Monitor - Michele Bachmann may be the first choice among announced candidates, but Tea Partiers also like Rick Perry (as revealed by an informal poll).

Christie should run for President now

Philly.com - He may never be so hot again, adds Michael Smerconish. 

Tea Party senators dismiss Pawlenty's 'isolationist' criticism

Huffington Post - Tim Pawlenty told the elitist Council on Foreign Relations what they wanted to hear, but he obviously hasn't been paying any attention to the grassroots.  No wonder his presidential campaign is floundering.

Ronald Reagan, isolationist

The American Conservative - Jack Hunter says John McCain's definition of who's an "isolationist" seems to be anyone who believes permanent war is not in America's interest.  By McCain's definition nearly three quarters of Americans are now isolationist. So was Ronald Reagan.

Unpopular GOP governor may put Florida in play

The New York Times - Many Floridians like spending cuts better in theory than in practice.  And some say Governor Rick Scott's leadership style is remote and uncaring.

They want Tea Party support and GOP nomination

St. Petersburg Times - Four top candidates for U.S. Senate keep it lively at a Tea Party forum in Florida.

If you can't win through elections, try redistricting

Associated Press - Is this how Nancy Pelosi plans to become Speaker again?  For starters, redistricting in California is likely to shift 3 to 5 Republican House seats to the Democrats.

Tea Party gears up for 2012

Time - Liberal media reporting on the Tea Party are like anthropologists studying a just-discovered culture, fascinated but bewildered.  They do take the Tea Party seriously, however, as Time's articles show.

Iowa Tea Party bus tour rallies conservatives

Daily Times Herald - Tea Partiers in Iowa are taking their message on the road, rallying conservatives ahead of next year's caucuses.

Does Rick Perry have a shot?

Southern Political Report - Rick Perry would have to overcome obstacles if he runs for president, but his enmity with Texas GOP establishment figures might actually help him.
