If I'm not mistaken, wasn't the ‘Tea Party’ started as a backlash against the economic fraud that has taken over Wall street, Washington DC (both parties), and many of the State houses? Wasn't this movement started as an outcry against the bailouts, the stock market manipulation, the excessive debt both private and public that was and still is being encouraged by both Wall St and DC? Wasn't this movement asking for the rule of law to be applied not just to Main St but to DC and Wall St equally? I find it sad that no pol is talking about the economic looting of this country that has and is occurring. No talk of bringing economic perps to justice. The Tea Party was not started to address the social issues of the day but the economic ones cuz if the economic issues are not taken care of, the social issues won't really manner much to a hungry population....so yes, I find it sad that the Romneys and the Newts and even the Palins have apparently taken over the movement while not addressing the core issues of the movement.

The explosion of fury and anger that is the Tea Party didn't come into being only as a reaction to specific economic issues. It came into being because Americans had finally had enough of the whole Socialist/Statist/Democrat/Leftist agenda of the last 70+ years.

The Tea Party is the release of a lifetime's worth of pent-up frustration and anger over the loss of everything precious, valued, and cherished about our beloved America. And ALL of those losses can be laid squarely at the feet of the left.

What you're witnessing is a citizen rebellion, the likes of which has not been seen in this country since perhaps its inception. We are at war with a pernicious ideology that seeks to transform our constitutional republic into a Socialist/Marxist totalitarian state.

Yes, we want to reverse the damage of our government's out-of-control spending, but the well of our anger is much deeper than that. Much deeper.
