Congress critters hid from their own constituents rather than talk to them about spending control at so-called "town hall meetings." To make sure conservatives got the message, they refused to answer our phone calls and letters. Result: The Dems got clobbered in the mid-term elections.<br /><br />It looks like Tea Party sentiment will continue to grow until the Dems and Progressives eat their own damn peas.Quite Rightlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454908849040454661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241445666161004335.post-76357444978653466702011-07-29T19:04:38.757-05:002011-07-29T19:04:38.757-05:00Liars get away with their tricks for a while becau...Liars get away with their tricks for a while because honest people tend to assume others are not lying intentionally, and give the benefit of the doubt.<br /><br />These liars - in the media as well as in Washington - think they are still getting away with it. They are like spoiled children having tantrums because their allowance has been taken away. <br /><br />They can lie and cry and kick till the cows come home, but their foolishness is over. <br /><br />The average, honest American won't even hear -or read - them any more.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06049681622118832305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241445666161004335.post-16031668834984205202011-07-29T18:39:52.637-05:002011-07-29T18:39:52.637-05:00Great round-up, Pat, and I love that protest sign:...Great round-up, Pat, and I love that protest sign: "Eat Your Own Damned Peas."

Tea Party politics involves endorsing the ideas of your constituents even if those ideas would be detrimental to the "common good" of the nation as a whole. <br /><br />I hate big government, irresponsible spending, and high taxation but the fact is that our nation is in this debt situation no matter how much we despise the system that got us here. But using this crisis as a political opportunity is disgusting. <br /><br />I wouldn't call it terrorism and the Tea Party is obviously not the first group to manipulate a political crisis.Intergalactichttp://grifternation.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
