[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Tea Party Patriot for one simple reason - Our current administration is spending money we don't have.  They are spending other people's money at "historic" rates.  Our country is truly a great country - not many countries would allow others to post their views (regardless of how negative their words may be) without threat of arrest.  However, at the rate we are going, our country will cease to exist as a republic in the not too distant future.  [/quote]

I'm sorry, I must have missed the rise of the Tea Party and its hysteria during GWB's term in office when he doubled the national debt, turned our budget surplus into deficits, broke the balanced budget agreement that had been in place since Clinton was in office, launched two wars that were not legitimate (i..e, UNCONSTITUTIONAL) and resulted in many thousands of lives of patriotic americans lost or severely impacted, failed to provide benefits for the military and finally, asleep at the wheel while the country was in the midst of the most severe economic and financial meltdown since the 1930's.

lets also not forget that the greatest period of economic expansion, what led to the great society, the strong middle class, a strong American ethos, a well educated society - were progressive programs put in place under FDR, followed through by level-headed Republicans (Eisenhower's building of the interstate system was a a great overreach of the federal government - you hating him too?).

the decline of the American society started with the "me first" attitude of the Reagan white house - sorry to trample on his grave, but let's be intellectually honest about how we got to where we are today.  Clinton, despite his personal pecadillos put us back on the right track.  GWB - tell me what has he actually has earned and done - at least this President can spell Constitution.

So spare us please the nonsense from Fox News - I'm all for reasoned ideas from the libertarian party (I'm one actually), but the Tea Party while it started in theory on good ground, within a minute or two quickly morphed into the pet project of some of the stupidest politicians ever elected (Bachman, Palin and many others) all to simply attack a black President.[/quote]
