Shutdown - The tea party`s last move?
#17
RE: Shutdown - The tea party`s last move?
I am sick and tired of the misunderstanding on this forum about the motives of the tea party. I have been to many tea party rallies and I understand their motives. The primary goal of the tea party is to reduce government spending and to prevent over taxation. TEA in tea party stands for taxed enough already. There are a many races represented at these rallies and many good ideas exchanged. Since Obama has not taken any steps towards reducing our debt limit, then yes he is attacked for his fiscal policies. They also attack other republican ideals that have gotten us to where we are today. For instance, Bushes fiscal policies are not very popular either. The main goal is reducing debt spending, that is it.

That being said, politics separates us the people. The very people here stating that republicans are trying to criticize Obama are the very same people who have criticized George W. Bush. I don't see democrats rushing to protect Condeleeza Rice, Herman Cain, Allen West, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, nor any minority who stands against the liberal mantra. Also, there is a great tea party supporter named Kevin Jackson, who happens to be african american. I have seen democrats call him Uncle Tom for supporting the Tea Party. Why isn't that called racist?

Also, why do democrats claim that the democrat party isn't about big business? Really? Who is behind the democrat party, names like George Soros, Larry Page and the Google leviathan, most of Hollywood? Since when is Google, George Soros, and Hollywood not considered big business?

Anyone who thinks that a $17 trillion debt is not worth worrying about is deluding themselves and something needs to be done about our ever increasing debt.

That is why the tea party has come out, because previous republican politicians have not addressed spending nor our ever increasing debt.
