If Democrats think that the House has muscled its way past the Tea Party activists by passing the ObamaCare bill, the Tucson Tea Party sent a message yesterday. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) calls herself a “Blue Dog Democrat,” but that dog didn’t hunt two months ago in a town-hall meeting, and it fell even more flat after Giffords voted to approve Nancy Pelosi’s massive plan to overhaul the American health-care system. Can a Democrat who voted for Porkulus, ObamaCare, and cap-and-trade call herself a “Blue Dog”, or has she become a Lap Dog to Pelosi? Tucson voters gave an answer for that yesterday:

Once again, what’s remarkable about this protest is how absolutely ordinary it is. No one is foaming at the mouth; they’re mostly laughing at Giffords’ hypocritical attempts to cast herself as some sort of moderate while mindlessly following Pelosi and her radical agenda. They’re not an angry mob, as the media has cast the Tea Party movement — they’re a motivated group of voters who are sending a message that will only get louder in the coming year.

Be sure to watch it all. HA reader/commenter Ordinary1 did a great job of putting together a funny and entertaining look at this grassroots activism. Well, entertaining to everyone but Gabby Giffords, that is.
