Though the tea party movement has attracted criticism for its supposed lack of diversity, minority activists who are involved say the movement has little to do with race, and that it is attracting a more diverse crowd every day.
I remember that stocks fell before the Obama election when it became apparent that he was going to win.
The Obameconomy started last October. (Actually, it was September when the leftist bank crisis occurred)

Exactly. There's "reform" and then there's reform. I disagree with Republicans who insist that everything's just fine the way it is, we have the best health care system in the world, blah, blah, blah. The government is ALREADY poking their nose WAY too far into my business. And I think a lot of Americans DO dislike their health insurers despite what Republicans will tell you. How many industries do you know where the business model is to emulate the government and expect people to volunteer to do business with you? They take your money, tell you what you can and can't do, steal your information, and invade your privacy. How is the status quo acceptable?
But the rub is that the things people legitimately don't like about the delivery and compensation of health care is either directly or indirectly the result of decades of government meddling or the actions of companies who think acting like the government is a viable business model. First the government intrudes in pricing by making health coverage deductible. Then medicare. Then medicaid. Tons of regulations on insurers and providers. Let the lawyers run wild.
So yes, we do need reform, but how can you call something "reform" when it involves the government in our lives MORE than they were before, when we're already at historic highs in the level of intrusion, rather than less???
"Reform" would be to completely dismantle federal intervention in pricing and delivery of healthcare, enact tort reform, abolish insurance except for catastrophic coverage (cancer, heart attack, car accidents, etc.), and make people pay for their own doctor visits. When the person going is the person paying, they'll care what it costs.
How can that be? The polls were NOT open.
We need a 6-10% lead:
