I Believe in the Tea Party...Unlike those who swallow everybit of the Kool-aid (both Dem and Repub) I can think for myself and though I can agree with some from both angles of a topic...I stand on my own thoughts.
This is what the Tea Party is mainly...in disagreement with Frank (who I have read many of his posts and respect his views)...
The Tea Party is a Political Movement...their main point is that this country needs to straighten out its fisical responsibilities. We need a balanced budget. We may disagree on how to do this, BUT it needs to be done somehow. If you cannot see that then you have more problems than just your hatred for those you politically disagree with. Stop swallowing all the Kool-aid.
Frank talks about their hatred for Obama...tell me what is so different from the Lefts hatred for Bush...? I'm not saying Bush was right 100% of the time, but neither is Obama. Look at it this way...when Former President Bush wanted to raise the Debt ceiling, then Senator Obama voted against that saying it showed a "Lack of Leadership" and those on the left piled on the hatred. In retrospect President Obama now says he regretted that action he took. Why did he not say "Former President Bush, I am sorry for what I said. You were trying to be presidental while I was being political." Now lets jump to now...Here is President Obama now asking Congress to raise the Debt Ceiling...Is this HIS LACK OF LEADERSHIP...? Where are all the Bush haters now....why are you not jumping on President Obama for doing what Bush did....? Hypocrite...? You rail against Former President Bush for his spending deficits...(Bush increased the National Debt from $5.7 Trillion to $10.6 Trillion in eight years...President Obama has raised the debt to $14.1 Trillion dollars...an increase of 3.5 Trillion in only 2 years....at this rate...President Obama will raise our National Debt by $7 Trillion dollars in his first 4 years...THAT IS WHAT CREATED THE TEA PARTY...
What is truely funny is the Obama Stimulus Program...They say it was to try to save the economy...sounds like the "TRICKLE DOWN THEORY" that everyone on the left said was a failure under Former President Reagan...
Is there anyone on the left who sees this irony....?...or have you been blinded by the Kool-aid...?
Let us also not forget that the only time that we did have a yearly balanced budget/surplus was under President Clinton with both the House and the senate under Republican control!...We have never had a controlled budget when all three branches were under the same Party's control (Presidency, House and Senate)...we never had it when the Dems controlled both the House and Senate...The only time we had a balanaced budget was when the House and Senate were under Republican Control..
This is what the Tea Party Is...we may disagree on how to do it, but we must do it...
