If there was a socially liberal yet not braindead (read as: fine with homosexuals yet in favor of gun rights and could go either way on legalizing pot) yet fiscally conservative (cut back, reduce the debt) and constitutionally sane (stick to the document, but realize there are valid doctrines not contained therein too)...
None of the racist rednecks...none of the racecard players...none of the fingerpointers...none of the shady money movers (campaign finance reform is needed)...I'd love that party.
Here is the mission statement of the Tea Party Patriots
.The impetus for the Tea Party movement is excessive government spending and taxation. Our mission is to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize our fellow citizens to secure public policy consistent with our three core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets
What it doesn't state is the lack of human capital in their 'mission' statement or spell out the human carnage of their right wing agenda. I am sure they are for continuing the Bush tax cuts for the top 2%, which will add $700,000 billion dollars to the deficit, and those tax cuts that were supposed to creates jobs, have created a decade of ZERO private sector jobs. SO, where do the cuts come from? Defense? Closing down the white elephant where political favors were paid for with meaningless jobs; Fatherland Security? NO, it will come from cutting programs that help and sustain We, the People.
If it's true raising taxes during a recession would be foolish, then cutting social services during a recession would be fatal. It would be a human catastrophe. There is ONE job opening for every five Americans that are unemployed. And that doesn't even take into account a college grad with student loans having to apply at McDonalds.
America needed another FDR or JFK, a president with courage and the ability to use the bully pulpit to rally We, the People to do what must be done first, not putting what must be done later first, like the GOP and GOP II, the tea party are calling for.
