Tea Party activists "will storm Capitol Hill this morning, spending the day rallying and protesting against President Obama's health-care bill and demanding meetings with targeted members."

But on the eve of their final coordinated push to kill health care reform, one of the Tea Party movements key leaders and funders -- former Republican leader and lobbyist Dick Armey, head of the group FreedomWorks -- said the battle was likely lost.

At a press conference on Monday, Armey acknowledged that Democrats "will most likely pass health care reform legislation that has been debated for the last year and is expected to come to a vote this week."

"They'll probably force this through," he said. "But you can't discount the number of people who can be moved by a ruthless and powerful political leader or group of political leaders."

7. Now Obama is a "ruthless and powerful political leader"

because he's trying to help the people who write to him about watching their loved ones die because they don't have access to the healthcare system. Yeah. What a ruthless bastard.
