Funny and frustrating at the same time. I am a Tea Partier. I also am a fairly conservative Christian but the last person I want as president is another Christian Socialist like Lyndon Baines Bush or Nanny Huckabee. I would vote for an atheist—Hell, I’d vote for Satan himself—if I knew he could cut government spending and government employment in half by the end of his term.
The frustrating part is that a lot of low information voters believe this BS and think the Tea Party is a Christian conservative plot, funded by the Koch brothers and evil Rove, to foist a theocracy on the US.

The left rails against theocracy while demanding that follow LeftWingGodvernment without question.

I truly believe that if people understood the real costs of government, they would be scandalized. If they understood how completely inefficient government is at doing anything.
It’s difficult to believe liberals have a home budget at all. After looking at where your personal money goes, and how careful most people have to be to plan for retirement, home purchase, and education, how they wouldn’t hold their public officials to the same standard.
Sadly, it takes that epiphany - That gut realization that something is deeply wrong that leads a person to seek out the Tea Party and other like-minded folks. God knows we’ll never get a fair shake in the media.
That said, as the misery index soars, I believe there will be more and more eyes opened and our numbers will only swell.
Remember that even the term “Tea Party” was first talked about by CNBC’s Santelli in the terms of FISCAL policy...not a thing about the Christian right. Certainly Christian conservatives have jumped on board; however, the people who turned up at the 9/12 event in Washington focused on returning to Constitutional government. FIrst, the left called us “racists” and “angry white men” until conservatives like Alan West and Michele Bachman put a lie to that. So they have to go to the next way to divide the movement. Attack the old standby “CHristian RIght” It’s pathetic!

The tragic part is that we have a POTUS who, I believe deep in my heart from all evidence, is a member of a truly evil “religion” that DOES want to foist a theocracy (and worse) on the US.
