Repost
Can anyone say what the tea party even represents? What do they want exactly? Abstractions such as less government have little meaning. More freedom is even more abstract and rather meaningless in a free society. Reduced taxes sounds nice, but with any living wage job and financial responsibility it has no relevance either. If they protested for working people, wages and jobs I could at least see something in them that simply wasn't anti. I remain totally cynical as their appearance is too coincidental with the outcome of democracy.

The only thing consistent about the tea party is democracy is not to their liking. They didn't protest a billion dollars a week on an unnecessary invasion, but healthcare for Americans is just awful. I watched a bit of their Nevada protest yesterday and as always it was always their opponents fault. It wasn't quite clear who the opponent even was?
Sarah Palin is the Anna Nicole Smith of politics, empty headed, but for some bizarre reason appealing. Attach attractiveness to a person, have them say freedom over and over again, and voila, instant conservative hero. While she may be so empty headed she thinks she is serious, you gotta give her credit she is making a boatload of money and money is America's number one gawd.
PS And Rasmussen is the Fox unbalanced opinion taker of today's America.
