Much like many people, I too am disappointed in results of our Congress and President and had begun to look at the Tea Party movement. I find that the Tea Party is largely based on racism, hidden in argument of big government. In my discussions with local tea party supporters, it is evident that their support of the movement is riddled with racism comments, to include comments aimed at Mexican Americans and Black Americans.
My dissatisfaction with the President and for that matter Congress is the lack of progress, the disgust for business who took federal money with little to no regard for the citizenry in how they continue to operate business. I am insulted by BOTH parties for how they continue to play the electorate. We are fed snippets and each side, republican and Democrat, then runs with what they have been told to further enforce those misguided ideals. The true tea party, as I saw it, was based upon a distrust of both parties... but now I see it as a movement that embraces the likes of Sara Palin, who herself is blinded by stupidity.
I hope people will see what is happening is much of what we have witnessed for years, an ineffective government that does not serve the people, but rather severs themselves. I applaud President Obama for refocusing his efforts and hope that the people will support those efforts.
As is stands, the movement of the Tea Parties is bullshit! Hate based views are an insult to everyone and furthers the division of all Americans. Heck, if you want to effectuate change, VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS and demand term limits. Hey, how about we demand to send all the children of our legislators to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan...
that is my view
