Bernie Reeves on the Tea Party Movement
Hi Gang,
Want to know what Bernie Reeves, GOP candidate for the 13th district thinks about the Tea Party.
“…I asked Reeves what he makes of the Tea Party movement. He told me he considers the other three candidates to be more closely aligned with that strain of conservative politics.
The Tea Party movement, he told me, “personifies the feelings of people who aren’t really political people. It’s more anger than calm dialogue. They never get into this abstruse theory. I think their assumptions about what they think America is has been undermined.”
Reeves acknowledged that he’s not altogether comfortable with the movement. “The dogmatism is difficult to take,” he said. ”

From this article is seems like Bernie thinks he can buy the primary without ever “getting his hands dirty”.
Troubling stuff, particularly as we don’t know much about this fourth candidate. What a wasted opportunity should he attain the nomination because these words of his will certainly alienate a valuable constituency, as well they should.
